My husband got me a brand new computer - top of the line! I love it ... he reinstalled all my programs ... all my practice files won't play. He reloaded all the real tracks I've bought over the years but my songs just come up with the standard jazz style. It says it can't find the style it was saved with. I am looking for one of the first RT I bought which had Celtic reel, jig, hornpipes etc. Not there. I understand the ones I tweaked are not there. I have literally hundreds of practice backup files and none of them work. Where do I look to find out whats going on. The location of bb is on my C drive, the files are on an additional drive ... just like before.

Make sure that BiaB is looking in the right place for your styles;
Options/preferences/realtracks.
Do the same for realdrums.

Does this help?

You have to tell BIAB where that additional drive is so it can find the Real Tracks and Real Drums. You do that in the Options - Preferences - Realtracks.

Hi Victoria,

You mention that "He reloaded all the real tracks..."
Did he actually 're-install' the Real Tracks from the installation exe files as just copying them will not install the necessary files into the soloist folder.

I guess I didn't explain that very well. All the BB files are at C: BB only my "tunes" created are on another drive. I am actually uninstalling everything and reinstalling myself.

Make sure you read the above suggestions and let us know the answer
If you go to Options-Prefs, is BB pointed to the correct folder for your Realtracks, Realdrums and styles? On a new computer this is very likely the starting point of the issue if BB works OK otherwise.

You might want to use the Browse option to verify they are where you expect them to be.
Of course, reinstalling may allow you to reset this setting or adjust it, but you may not need to do all that.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Ok... reloaded everything. Still don't have the RTs that I had before? Most of what I bought were the Celtic bands; I don't have any bodhran which I did have before. I've installed every RT from my products page and still missing SO many. Guess I will contact PG. Thanks for all the suggestions. V

Whenever I upgrade my computer I ALWAYS copy the entire bb folder and Realband folder to the C; drive on my new computer. Only then do I apply any upgrades I have purchased. If you just install your latest copy you may lose lots of stuff you added over the years.

JohnJohnJohn:

That is exactly the best way to transfer BIAB and RB. I have done it many times. Also as a hint, run the utilities found in BB/Data/Installers.

I just transferred everything from my C Drive to my new E drive and changed the pointers and it went without a hitch. Worked perfectly.
