Anthony, there are really only a few change options:

  • The RealTracks folder can be moved to a different location (the default is the RealTracks folder within the main BIAB folder), and then you specify that location in the RealTracks settings.
  • The RealDrums folder can be moved to a different location (the default is the Drums folder within the main BIAB folder), and then you specify that location in the RealTracks settings.
  • Style files (*.sty) can either be moved to a Styles folder under the main BIAB folder (or you can split your styles between the main folder and the Styles folder. ST2 and XT2 are not styles files and must stay in the main BIAB folder
  • The songs you create can be saved and loaded from any location on your computer.


That's the extent of file location changes you can make. Anything else will break BIAB.

On my machine, I have the main BIAB application installed to:

D:\Apps\PGMusic\BIAB (in fact all my PGMusic apps, because they don't write to the registry, are installed under D:\Apps\PGMusic)

My RealTracks and RealDrums are installed to:

E:\Audio\PGMusic\RealInst\RealTracks, and
E:\Audio\PGMusic\RealInst\Drums

All my PGMusic provided styles and Norton Music provided styles are located in:

D:\Apps\PGMusic\BIAB (the main BIAB folder)

and all my user created and web-downloaded styles are located in:

D:\Apps\PGMusic\BIAB\Styles

That all works great for me and keeps the content off my C: drive. Fonts, DXi plugins, and whatever else PGMusic installs to support BIAB do get installed on C:, however, but that's not much space compared to the main program and the Real Instruments.
