Hello, Does anyone have ideas on how to solve a problem in loading real drum tracks. I am getting an odd error--something like "the drum real track doesn't exist in the same folder as the txt file or is another file" All of the drum real tracks are in on my hard drive along with the other real tracks.

When you open RealDrums are they showing up in the Picker?
Does the error message show up when you attempt to select the RealDrums or when you re-generate your chart?
I've had a similar error message on the Soloist Track that's been occurring since Mountain Lion and continued through Mavericks and Yosemite. Here's the exact message:
"Soloist track: some RealTracks are not found for frozen track, for example /Applications/Band-in-a-Box/RealTracks//Applications/Band-in-a-Box/RealTracks/. Either you do not have this RealTrack, or you need to point to the correct folder in Prefs-R"
I too own the Audiophile version with all the RealTracks sets installed. This error message occurs on both my iMacs (whether BIAB is installed on the computer drive or on the original USB hard drive).
The error doesn't show up when I generate the solos and obviously the soloist RealTracks exist in the correct folder as I am choosing the soloist RealTrack from the Picker.
But when I re-open the chart, the above error displays each and every time. However, the solos play with the correct soloist(s) so I've learned to live with it. For example, if I've generated a Phil Woods solo, the Phil Woods solo plays exactly as originally generated and with the correct Audiophile Phil Woods sounds.
As the error message suggested, I did repoint the RealTracks folder in Prefs-R (even though it was pointed correctly) and still the same error. I've also done a clean install of BIAB and no change.
Interestingly, I don't get an error message when I select RealTracks or RealDrums for any of the other tracks.
It's a frustrating error message. I submitted this error message (with a screenshot) to PGMusic Support. They couldn't recreate it and asked for me to send some of my BIAB Song files. I never heard back after sending a link to download the files, but I presume they couldn't recreate the error message.

I was able to solve this problem with help from PGMusic Support. It turns out that the disc where I had my real drums copied was formatted as "case sensitive". This presents problems when BIAB is looking for files to load. I needed to re-format the drive so that it was no longer case sensitive. Another option would have been to re-partition this disc and reformatting just the part I needed to use.
Initially, I thought I was missing the actual real drums files; however, the way we checked this was to run BIAB from the audiophile disc. To do this onnect the audiophile drive and then point to the real drums on the audiophile disc in the real drums settings. The error did not occur with this set up, letting us know that the real drum files were there.
