Just installed biab and rt 2015 plus the 414 patch
and noticed Real Tracks 2125-2133 are N/A
they are bass RT by Neil Swainson.
Anyone else missing these RT ?
I've been getting all yearly updates plus bonus disks, seems I should not have any missing RT.
I noticed back in Dec 2013 these same RT where reported missing
under the thread 2014 RT set 202 is N/A?
But that thread never produced an answer to the missing RTs
So far everything else has been working very well in BIAB,
haven't tried RB yet.

Hi DHD, As you can see from the below graphic, these RTs belong to Sets 14, 55, 57. PG Music are presently up to Set 255. Thus 14, 55, 57 are fairly early set numbers.  Given that the RT numbers are in the 2,100s, this indicates that they are reasonably recent (inasmuch as I deduce from my limited understanding of PG Music's numbering system). The fact that the RT numbers suggest recent'ish tracks while the sets indicate earlier tracks, my guess is that RTs 2125-33 came with bonus paks from last year or the year before. I could be wrong, though. If you have continually installed new versions of BIAB over the top of existing versions, and you've purchased all Bonus Paks along the way, you should have all RTs (provided you've purchased the UltraPlusPak or EverythingPak each release). If, however, you did a new install (maybe because of changing operating systems) or if you decided to change from (say) running the program from your computer's hard drive to running it from the USB drive, then previously installed Bonus Paks probably will not show up. RTs contained in Bonus Paks rarely make it to main stream editions such as UltraPlusPak, etc. I suggest you contact PG Music and ask. If you purchased through them, they will have a complete record of what you should have. They will also be able to offer a much better insight than I can. Regards, Noel

Sometimes the installation routine does not work as intended the first time. I have had this happen to me. Just install the RealTracks one more time. Maybe the problem is solved then.
Good luck.

I have the same problem with these RT's missing. I don't quite understand the fix. I originally purchased 2013 everything pak w/ the bonus pak. Upgraded to 2014 everything pak last year but did a new install of version 2014 everything pak in a new computer so I did not install over version 2013. Nor did I install the 2013 bonus pak. I have purchased and installed version 2015 everything pak and the $49 bonus pak and also installed the updates and patches for BB (414) and RB
I'm guessing the missing sets are likely included on the 2013 bonus pak. Is it ok to install the 2013 bonus pak CD (I believe, may be a DVD, regardless, whichever, I have the disk) over the 2015 install and 2015 bonus pak install?
Thanks in advance for the clarification.
Charlie

Hi Charlie,
Yep, it's fine to install the earlier bonus paks into 2015. I suspect that that's where the missing RTs are.
All the best,
Noel

RTs didn't start until 2008.
According to my (anal) records no RT "bonuses" were offered until 2012. More than a few Real Drums were offered, but none that are now exclusive.
BIAB 2012
Bonus 10 pak: RealTracks Bonus Set 1 - Texas Blues - straight 8ths
Bonus 20 pak: RealTracks Bonus Set 2 - John Jarvis Country Piano
Not sure the above may or may not be in current RT sets somewhere
BIAB 2013
Bonus 8 pak (no bonus RTs)
Bonus 16 pak:
11. "WOW! UNRELEASED Bonus RealTracks Set 1: Country Shuffle"
12. "WOW! UNRELEASED Bonus RealTracks Set 2: Country Waltz"
Again, not sure the above may or may not be in current total RT sets somewhere
BIAB 2014
Bonus 6 pak (free) "WOW! UNRELEASED Bonus RealTracks Set: Pop Strings"
Bonus 12 pak (not free)
7. WOW! UNRELEASED Bonus RealTracks Set: Jazz Pollwinners 5 ‐ Killer Jazz Waltz Rhythm Sections
8. WOW! UNRELEASED Bonus RealTracks Set: World Synths
Again, not sure the above may or may not be in current RT sets somewhere
and finally BIAB 2015

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
