I have an old song that I made that reverts to MIDI because the correct RealTracks set is not installed. BiaB 2014 says promisa.sty is missing. The thing is that I don't have enough space on my computer to install all my sets and I'd like to avoid trial and error by installing/uninstalling one set at a time.

Can I find this out somehow or maybe someone here happens to know from which set promisa.sty comes?

_PROMISA.sty should just sit in your C:\BB\ folder (top level), presuming that you have installed in default location.

It might be part of MIDI SuperTracks Set 9, but i cannot be certain.

But I do not want to know what I have installed. I want to know which realtracks set I need to install to get _promisa.sty

Alexander,

If you have the hard drive version why don't you run BIAB from there. The instructions are in the setup procedure.There is an option to keep all the RT's etc on the Hard drive thus taking up so much less space on your computer. I ran BIAB this way for a long time with no problems.

Maybe someone else could help if you downloaded BIAB 2014, or you could contact support for help. PG Music support is very good and always helpful.

I hope you find the style

Hi Alexander,

_PROMISA.STY contains the following Realtracks.

_PROMISA.STY. Acoustic Pop with Piano [100 RS]

All RealTracks. Quintet.
RD: POPAMERICANEV^1-a:SDSTKHB, b:SNHB :Wayne Killius
RT1521: Bass, Electric, PopPower4s Ev 120 , Mark Hill
RT1690: Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopPromise Ev16 100 , Blair Masters
RT362: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 , Tony King
RT365: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 , Jason Roller

Regards,

P.S. If you have limited internal disk space on your computer, Gibson's idea to run BIAB from the external USB drive is an excellent one. This will allow you to access everything you have.

I've managed to figure out which sets all instruments come from now except for the drums. Anyone know?

I have no idea about any of what you're talking about, but had to chime in. Your screen name freaked me out. My high school band teacher (over 25 years ago!) was Paul Alexander. Great man, great musician, great teacher, great friend. Sadly he passed away a year or two ago.

In the the RealTrack picker window you have columns, it has "Set*" there is also "Show RealTracks that are NA" check box, same in RealDrums picker windows, the end column is RD Set.
