Hello. Somewhat of a newbie here. I can't find the answer anywhere, so I'm asking you guys. I'm using BiaB 2014.
I created a band from a selection of real tracks, and I'd like the same band to be available for different songs I load. However, I can't seem to save this "band." Saving a it as a style doesn't seem to work. Surely this is possible to do?
Any help appreciated!

Don't know about the Mac Version, but in the Windows version, there is a menu item under "Styles" called "Save Current Song As A Style". If the Mac version has that feature, you should then be able to save your current mix of instruments as a style and then select that style for other songs. Keep in mind that you will have to regenerate your StylePicker list to see that new style as a choice, or you can manually load that style file from disk. The help file says: Saves the style that is in use to the \bb folder with the parts that are currently selected. If, for example, a MIDI style has had RealTracks added, the RealTracks will be saved with the style and the style name will get an = sign prefix. So if you were to add an acoustic bass RealTracks to the ZZJAZZ style and save it with this feature, the name would change to =ZZJAZZ.STY. Press the [Rebuild] button in the StylePicker and the new style name will be added to the list of Other Styles. Let us know if it works for you.

Who Needs,
Welcome to the forum. It looks to me like the Mac version handles this a little differently. It is described on page 140 of the on-line manual (available under the BIAB help menu). Basically, you can set up your "band" with selected Real Tracks, then go into the "Styles" menu, select "Stylemaker". You can use the "Save" tab in the Stylemaker to give your "band" a name and it will be saved as a style you can use. As jford mentioned, you will need to select "Rebuild" in the style picker (at the bottom, on the left) to get your new style to show up. Good luck!

I never knew this was even possible on the Mac! So thank you very much indeed for that outline description. I will most definitely be trying this out, for I've wanted this feature a long time now.

I've tried this, several times. But it doesn't work properly. The "new" renamed style will save and it can be selected, (manually from the pulldown menu).
But when selected, it always plays the old instruments that were "deleted".
Also, the style picker window doesn't update with the the "new" style, upon rebuild. The Renamed style can't be found that way.
I must admit that I'm miffed! PG has said that the Windows folks can do it, but that we Mac users can't. Get with it, PG!!!

I can confirm that, the proposed "workaround" just does not work at all. Shame, I had really got my hopes up for this one
