I gave this problem some more thought and i think now i know why the demos sound thin through my sound system.The demos are set at Flat response with no EQ on the instrumetns in the real Track . Also they are compressed files . So there is to factors that cab be the problem here 1 the demo real tracks are compressed and 2 they were created with no EQ .I think once the Real Track is inputed into Real Band and EQ set for each instrument in the real Track this should take care of the poor sound im hearing on the demos. Also i learned that i can exstrac chords from live audio files using the chord Wizard to place chords into BIAB. From here i can use a real style and place it into the chords and then send it to the Real Band to EQ to improve the over all sound of the style .Correct me if im wrong does this all make sence .
P/s can some one send me a band in a box real style after it was sent into REAL BAND to be E Q ? The demos are useless to me .

Consider yourself corrected, Greg. No offense meant.

I will tell you right now that I have no problem getting great sound from Band in a Box on my rather long in the tooth laptop when connecting it to any PA system. The Realtracks sound great as-is right out of the box after simply typing in a few chords, selecting a Realstyle or separated Realtracks, and hit Play.

You state that your Playback mixer for the Realtek card does not show the Wave volume fader. This is likely your real problem.

1) Open the Realtek's Windows Mixer applet by doubleclicking on the little speaker icon in the taskbar next to the clock.

2) When that little window opens, go to the OPTIONS menu and select PROPERTIES.

3) The next window should show two radio buttons, top one selected, which is the Playback mixer view.

4) Below that should be a little window with checkboxes next to all available audio outputs. It is likely that WAVE is not checked. Put a checkmark in front of WAVE. I usually just put a checkmark in front of everything there so that I will see all available faders and settings when opening the applet.

Once you close the windows it should return to the Mixer View. Turn the WAVE fader you just invoked all the way up and make sure the MASTER fader is all the way up when driving your PA as well.

Lastly, the physical connection, the wiring, from your pc to the pa may be a problem also. Please describe exactly how your hookup is established right now, what kind of adaptors and cables you are using and where they are attached at both the computer and at your PA mixer inputs and we can sort that out as well.

RealTracks have the ability to deliver good sound right as they come out of the box.

BTW, Band in a Box does indeed have Audio Tone controls as well as Audio Volume controls inside it, but you should not be adjusting those to compensate for low output, so let's get to the bottom of that first.
