I recently purchased and upgraded my BIAB 2014. I also use the IReal Pro and Fakebook on my android cell phone.
My issue are the Super Midi tracks styles. Case in point, I choose a standard Jazz song I used with a Cuban Bolero style. When I imported it as a midi file into BIAB, the style I found closely associated was the BOL-HVNA style, found in my 2007.5 version. Unfortunately, I was unable to find a comparable Super Midi Track style with the Ultra Pak I got. All my bolero styles are in my 2007.5 BIAB.
I can't seem to figure out why I can't have all my other bolero styles available or imported in my 2009.5 or 2014 version? This is even after Re-building all versions and making sure the paths for the styles are indicated??? Paths as folllows:
2009.5 C:\bb\bbw.exe
2007.5 I:\biab2007\bbw.exe
2014_build381 K:\bb\bbw.exe
I use the earlier versions (32bit) mostly, because they are smaller for my XP systems and don't require as much as the 2014 AUDIO/midi version I use on my pc/tab (64bit) running Windows 8.1.
Depending upon which program is used I believe is part of the problem due to all the styles that need to be located in the root or where the X:\bbw.exe is installed? Unfortunately, there are space constraints doing that for me, in that my C: & I: drives don't have enough room, as does the HD that shipped or my Tera drive used with my pc/tab externally with 2014. (80g) HD. So breaking things down. 1. Are there any Latin Super Midi Tracks yet, and what is a work-a-round in creating or having a Super Midi Track version or somethiing similar?
2. Would dumping all the styles in 2014.381 solve this, if so, then what about my 2009.5 version that only shows a limited amount of styles based on what's in its' root drive?
3. For the lack of Super Midi Tracks, would using Real Tracks or RealBand help in doing this, style duplication? Creating styles isn't my forte, nor do I want to spend a lot of time learning how to do so, when I need to spend time practing and playing to the backing tracks I already have.
Lastly;
4. is there another or longer usb/power cable availble? I find the one that shipped with the HD is too short to reach the AC while connected to my usb hub, that is, without using an extension cord or having it closer to an outlet?
Side note:
The Super Midi Tracks I have created have opened up another dimension in my stuff, so far.
Thanks for any or all insights! Still Wrkinit
