Hello,

I don't understand why I only have 13 rock selections in the
style picker. { medium rock } I have the version with the
hard drive and have updated every year. ]

I have 2018.

When I press show 2018. newest styles only = I get zero.

Bonus styles = zero

thanks.

You may have BIAB 2018, but which Pak did you buy - the ProPak, the MegaPak, or the UltraPak? The program is exactly the same in all the Paks; the difference is the number of MIDI styles, RealTracks, Super MIDI tracks, and RealDrums you get.

Did you make sure to clear all filters first? You might only be seeing a subset of a subset of styles. Did you used to see more styles previously? Do you have "show N/A" (there are two of them) checked or unchecked?

Regardless, make sure that BIAB is pointing to the correct location for RealTracks and RealDrums. It can sometimes be a little confusing, in that when you install BIAB, you tell it the root folder of where RealTracks and RealDrums go (by default, C:\BB, which is also where the main BIAB program is installed). If you did install to the location where BIAB is installed, then make sure you don't have custom location checked.
If you did do a custom location (for example, d:\PGMusic\Real), then you have to tell BIAB that it is a custom location for both RealTracks (d:\PGMusic\Real\RealTracks) and RealDrums (d:\PGMusic\Real\Drums). That establishes the location for all the Style files that reference those RTs and RDs.

Once there, you should open the RealTracks Picker (not the StylePicker) and click on the Rebuild and Fix button to make sure all RealTracks are properly recognized. Do the same in the RealDrums Picker.

Styles themselves (.sty files) are in the Styles folder under where you installed BIAB. You should open StylePicker and do a slow rebuild of your styles. It will take a little while to finish, but once done, you should be able to clear all filters and then try again to find all your Rock styles.

Don't know if this helps any.

If you want more rock, from different musicians, one who have played rock on the gig all their lives and have been writing BiaB styes since 1992 go to:

http://www.nortonmusic.com

Although it is a self-serving plug, there are also a lot of rock styles here that are not covered by PG Music. When I write my styles I take precautions about re-writing anything PG has already covered.

Many mp3 demo files can he heard here:

As asked earlier, you need to tell us the Pak name that you purchased, not the size of the hard drive.

Not that hard to draw a conclusion on the pack.
It should be the UltraPAK.
The rt, rd and styles is the same for UltraPAK+ and Audiophile Edition.
