Hi all - newish user to BIAB. Very cool software!
I purchased what i believe is everything. The what I am missing section helps says I have everything, but i am missing 88 styles when showing N/A in the style picker. Strangely the preview for these missing styles play.
I have contacted support, but I thought it might worth a message in the forum in case anyone recognizes some of these styles:
25 amplitube style (2011/12). 8 Folk styles named Campfire (2012/12), 3 Nashville Teen beat (2012/05 and 2012/06), 3 Fast Drivin (2012/04, 2012/05, 2012/06)., 5 metronome styles (2014/07). There are a few more, but I thought finding these might be a start in the right direction.
What I have done so far is: complete rebuilt the database. Then I reinstalled everything using the master installer, rebuilt the database again and I ran the cleanup routine.
Thanks all!
Greg

Hi Greg,
Welcome to the forum and to Band-in-a-Box!
When you state you purchased everything, does that include the Xtra Style PAKs? If you recently purchased Band-in-a-Box then you maybe missing some bonus RealTracks and the styles support the bonus RealTracks.
It will be helpful if you list the names of the missing styles. That will help us associate the styles with various updates, packages and bonus releases.

Thanks so much for the reply. I have bought all the xtra style paks. Here are images of what is missing. Before rebuilidng and reinstalling, I had no real tracks missing. Now I have a couple. [img] https://ibb.co/gv5ykz[/img] [img] https://ibb.co/mTefyK[/img] [img] https://ibb.co/k4KfyK[/img] [img] https://ibb.co/gMK2Ce[/img] Sorry tried to imbed the links. Not sure if that can be done with this forum. Also I see a couple of these are from Style Pak 5. I redownloaded it, reinstalled it and rebuilt the index but it is still N/A. Odd.

Hi Greg,
Some of these are from the Registration Bonus Styles, which you can download for free from your account on our website. Just log in, click on My Products, and look for the installer in your list of downloads.
Some of these styles appear to be missing RealTracks. Please open the RealTracks Picker, check the "Show RealTracks that are NA" checkbox, sort the list by the NA column, and see which sets the NA RealTracks are from.
Thanks
Kent

Thanks so much. Found the registration bonus styles and am down to 78 styles not found.
I tried reinstalling the realtracks from what sets are shown 2 are from MST18 and 2 from MST20. And 1 is from the Xtra pak.
I reinstalled the real track sets 16-19 and 20-23, and xtra pak 5 but they are still missing after the rebuild.
Missing RT are M_JZFPLK, M_POPFLT, M_STQRTP, M_STQRTZ, and Humbling.
For the missing RT - the wma files are in the data folder for the preview, but the don't seem to be there.

I am noticing in the RTs that are N/A - I can load them and it seems like the synth is what is missing in them. The message in the bottom says C:\bb\Soloists\RSynth014.ST2 not found. This means that you do not have the MIDI SUperTracks that is required for this style or solo.
FYI I have supertracks001-020 installed.
When I look in the bb\soloists folder I am indeed missing Rsynth014.ST2 but have 001-013 and 015-016 in that folder.
I don't see any other supertracks installer in my account.

Hi MusicMan,
It looks like all of these styles (except for the last two) were from 2014 or earlier, so would have been included with your 2016 EverythingPAK. I'll see if I can find installers that'll just install this missing stuff tomorrow though, so you don't have to install 2016, 2017, and 2018 again.
Thanks
Kent

PG Music Thanks! Do you think you will be able to find the individual files? I installed all the real tracks I had again in the process, so if you have individual files that might be helpful. Also if you have the handful of RTs are missing? M_JZFPLK, M_POPFLT, M_STQRTP, M_STQRTZ, and Humbling. ALso C:\bb\Soloists\RSynth014.ST2 is not found. Can I get that file? Thanks! Greg

Hi Greg,
M_JZFPLK, M_POPFLT, M_STQRTP, M_STQRTZ, and Humbling are styles, not RealTracks. RSynth014.ST2 does refer to a RealTrack though. If you want to see which RealTracks you're missing, open the RealTracks Picker, check "Show RealTracks that are N/A", and sort the list by the N/A column.
I have a feeling the missing RealTracks are all from your 2016 version as well.
Thanks
Kent

Thanks kent. The ones listed are the ones that are missing when showing Real Tracks that are NA.
Humbling is from Xtra Pak 5, but I have reinstalled, uninstalled, rebuilt the DB and it is showing up as missing. I think some are showing as missing because of a missing real track in the style.
Two are missing the synth file, two are missing a string quarter file I believe.
Before I started all of the reinstalling, rebuilding, etc. I originally had no Real Tracks missing, but then those 5 popped up.
Thanks for your help here.

Hi Greg,
Those files you listed couldn't possibly be showing up in the RealTracks Picker, as they're not RealTracks. They're styles, so would only be listed in the StylePicker, completely different window.
You'll need to click the RealTracks button, then RealTracks Picker Dialog, to get to the window I'm referring to.
Thanks
Kent

Hi Musicman,
I just downloaded and ran the main installer for Band-in-a-Box 2016, and got all of those styles immediately. Here's what I'd recommend, to avoid having to reinstall 2017 and 2018: Download and run the installer called "Band-in-a-Box and RealBand 2016 Full (Windows)" from your list of downloads, and install it to a new folder, like C:\BB2016. Don't install it to where 2018 is currently installed.
Then copy the STY files from the C:\BB2016 folder to the C:\BB\Styles folder, and that should fill in everything you're missing.
It sounds like you're missing some MIDI SuperTracks as well, so download and run "MIDI SuperTracks Sets 001-020 (Windows)" as well, while you're at it.
If the 2016 links on your online account have expired, let me know and I'll refresh them.
Thanks
Kent

Thanks so much for the info. Installed the 2016 installer and got almost all of the styles found! I am down to 2 styles not found.
GPSYBOP+ M 4/4 sw8 220 [N/A] Gypsy Bop MIDI Jazz MultiStyle Jazz Jazz 2018/04 Xtra PAK 3 4 Gypsy Jazz,Jazz Swing,Bebop
OLDWEST+ M 4/4 sw8 120 [N/A] Old West MIDI Country MultiStyle Country Country 2018/04 Xtra PAK 5 6 Country Ballad,Country Classic
I ran all 5the xtra paks plus the MIDI super tracks into the bb2016 folder. The 2016 install seems to put the styles into the root of the bb2016 folder, whereas the 2018 folder has the styles in a styles folder.
I don't see these two styles though after running the 5 Xtra pak installers.
Thanks again for taking the time to look deeply into this. Much appreciated!

Hi,
Did you install the Xtra Styles and MIDI SuperTracks to the 2018 folder too?
The 2016 installation was just to generate STY files to copy into the 2018 Styles folder, there's no need to install any additional material to the 2016 folder.
Thanks

PG Music Hi Kent, Yes I installed the Xtra Styles and the MIDI supertracks in the 2018 folder. Those two styles are still missing. I am more curious how/why this acting as such so I better understand the program.

I would also run the cleanup utility, then do full rebuilds after doing the installs to make sure they end up in the correct folder (which changed with BIAB 2018). Just a thought.

I think everything's in the right place. I moved those two styles out of my Styles folder and reinstalled Xtra Styles PAK 5 and they didn't reappear, so I'll need to figure out which installer has them.
I've emailed Musicman the style files, so the installation should be complete for now.
Cheers

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
