Can I quickly tell if I have all the realtracks by looking at the #* column in the instrument listing.
I got to this column by right clicking on an instrument as if I was going to select a realtracks.
Once the list of instruments were shown I did the following.
I sorted the column low to high and found that the sequences starts at 361 and end at 853.

Do I have all the realtracks excluding the drums.

If you just go to Help -> What add-ons do I have?

You will get a report not only of what you have, but at the bottom half of that window, a list of what you don't have, if you don't have some.

>>>I sorted the column low to high and found that the sequences starts at 361 and end at 853.

There are a total of 271 RealTracks available. We have "variations" of them as well, for example a bluesy variation, or a substyle variation. So when you see a list from 361 to 853, that's almost 500, so aout half of those are variations. There's a checkbox to not inlcude the variations.
As for counting the RealTracks, the quickest way would be to highlight all the folders in the RealTracks folder (in Explorer), and see how many folders it is.
Odds are you'll have about 271


Have Fun!

Mac I tried looking at the listing you suggested first thing. I showed I had all tracks even though they did not appear. I found that I had not loaded all the tracks in the 2009.5 update. Once I loaded the tracks I could see them in the instrument listings. That was the reason I asked about checking the column listing. It seems to work better if its shows all tracks. What does your instrument listing show. Start and End.

Thanks

Start = 361

End = 853

Not sure if that will tell anything about Realtracks "In the middle" of the sequence, though.

Mac, Thanks for the sequence numbers.
It tells me that if I do not have a broken numerical sequence that I have the correct number of RECORDS for the realtracks folder. The number sequence appears to represent both realtracks and their variations. I.E. P. Gannon.

I have later verified this record count with another BIAB user and found that they have the same unbroken sequence count, 361-853 as you and I do. It would be nice if the total tracks were listed on the instrument menu listing as the styles tracks displays number of styles.

What started me off in checking the number of realtracks was due to realtracks listing not showing what was in the realtracks folder. Another problem you helped me with was the missing ST's.

As you may recall. The "New add on's" did not show I had anything missing. It was wrong as far as I could tell.

Thanks for Your Help.......
Mal

Note: Realdrums listings do no have a sequence numbering scheme.

By fixing some loading problems I have found that the "What Add on Do I Have Works Fine". So now I feel I have located all styles and realtracks. The realtracks instrument folder tracks agree with the real instrument tracks listing in BIAB.

Thanks for the help.
