G'day. Problem is I am missing some Real Styles from the Style Picker. For example I can see that there is a certain piano folder in the directory but not in the style picker. I Real Styles address is correct. Also there are many ST2 files with nothing in them? Any ideas?
cheers

Soulagent, I wonder if the style filter is filtering. To double-check this, click on the "showall" (see below) and the filter will be returned to its non-filtering state?  Regards, Noel

Please,
I got on _Category: "All Styles (1759)",
but on the top-right, is ("Total Style entries 3875")
What I have to do to increase my "1759" number ? (Number of available styles)
Thanks

Hi Jose,
What version of BIAB do you have? (for example: version 2011.5 UltraPlus Pak, etc.)
Regards,
Noel

Hello Soulagent, You may as well install the Build 329 update: http://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm#329Quote:
For example I can see that there is a certain piano folder in the directory but not in the style picker.
Can you be more specific? We aren't sure what you mean...
Quote:

Do you mean that the ST2 files are missing?
Quote:

The total style entries is more than the "All Styles", because most styles have more than one entry - i.e. they are in more than one category.
The total number of styles you *should* have depends on which package you have. If you have the EverythingPAK hard drive, you will have more styles than if you have the MegaPAK, for example. The 2011.5 EverythingPAK version has around 2800 total. Do you have a hard drive version?
If you have a hard drive version, all of the files are preinstalled, if you have a download or disc version, you would need to install the files. The RealStyles (STY) files are installed with the RealTracks.
--------
From what I can tell, it sounds like your bb folder is missing ST2 files and RealStyles (.STY files). To get these files, reinstall your RealTracks, making sure to select the correct location of your Band-in-a-Box folder.

Please,
How do I have to proceed to "reinstall my RealTracks"?
(I have a lot of them on my Band-in-a-Box D:\bb\RealTracks folder)
Thanks

Hi,
If you had downloaded your RealTracks installers, or have them on DVD, then you would run those installers. If you tell us what exactly you have, we could give you better instructions...
Even though you have lots of folders in your D:\bb\RealTracks folder, that is just the audio files. You also need to also have the .ST2 and .STY files in your main D:\bb folder. You can get these files by running the installers. Or, you can copy them from an ultraplusPAK or EverythingPAK hard drive if you have one.
How many R*.ST2 files are in your bb folder, and are there some in another location? Try a search... for R*.st2

Jose, Have a look at the link below and you'll see what Andrew and I are meaning in relation to the different "Paks" of BIAB. http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.htmThese packages offer different collections of files. Some contain all the files some only contain some of the files. It depends on how much a person wishes to spend. Regards, Noel
