As Bob indicated Band-in-a-Box does not have the capability to playback the audio from a track while that track is in record mode.

A solution to record the audio output of a Band-in-a-Box midi track recorded requires multiple steps. First record the midi data into either the Melody or Soloist track. That way you will not lose your recorded midi data when tracks are generated. Second install the virtual instrument into the recorded midi track. Third use a DAW or Audio Editor to record the virtual instrument's audio output during playback.

A solution when recording audio is to use an audio interface that includes the capability to mix audio coming from the computer with audio you are sending to the computer. This audio interface feature includes a headphone jack on the interface and is called something like direct monitor or record what you hear.

Both solutions I presented require using something external to Band-in-a-Box. There are other solutions but they also require the use of stuff outside Band-in-a-Box.
