Tested on most Multistyle Paks. We can clearly see in the track view that the sound is not generated as soon as the style changes.

I put the screenshots of guitar track 3 in Biab 2024, and in Biab 2023. This is obvious, isn't it?
No doubt a correction is coming?

Audiotrack, if you want to test and transmit? THANKS.

I'd previously discovered this as well and have reported it to the developers. It seems it's manually possible to change Styles, RealTracks and possibly other Tabbed instruments on the fly in the new Tracks View so this may be a new feature that's going to be marketed toward DAW users because MultiStyles were not available in the past in RealBand or the Plug-in so they could not be generated over to DAWs.

Glad I'm not the only one with silence rendered tracks.
Since upgrading to BB2024 all my tracks are rendered silent using any style,also the DAW Plugin renders the tracks silent.
All was fine with BB2023 and Plugin, I have set the correct folder paths etc in fact I've reinstalled all my RT's and RD's thinking it may be that.
Hope the fix is soon.

For silent tracks at the opening of Biab, the solution that I found and which works 100% of the time is to go to the MultiPicker and click on "Clear". After that, track generation is OK. I think it has improved since version 11.04.

Hello Thunderthud,

I suspect that this is fixed in build 1104, which is in pre-release testing for another day or two. Here is a link to the patch:

I had various degrees of success. For the Guitar 3 track: sometimes 1 bar, sometimes 5 bars, sometimes 4 bars, sometimes 2 bars.

I'll make sure that the developers are aware (I think they already are).

Many thanks for that, the update 1104 didn't solve the problem but yes the "clear" button in the stylepicker window renders all the wav's plus doing the same in the Plugin stylepicker window works as expected. All we need now is a fix for the fix.

Following on from the "silent rendering of tracks" I still have to click on the clear button in the styles window before rendering.

Have updated to Build 1106 but still not fixed. Anyone?

It's all so easy now in the BBPlugin (in Reaper), I can have as many bars in a song as I like or change styles by using 2 or more BBPlugins. You can send the tracks from the Plugin to any bar so there is no 255 bar limit or 24 track limit. Any section on any track can be regenerated instantly. The tempo and time signature changes are obtained by dragging the C7 icon also giving the Chords as markers or regions as well as midi block chord for VST Instruments to follow:

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
