To clear the contents of a mixer slot in Band-in-a-Box, you can follow these steps: Open the Mixer window in Band-in-a-Box. Locate the mixer slot that you want to clear. Right-click on the mixer slot. From the contextual menu, select "Clear Slot" or "Erase Slot" option. The contents of the mixer slot will be cleared. You have to select Track Actions > Erase Track. BUT the first 7 tracks play by different rules (you cannot get them "empty") 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

So when a style is loaded, whatever tracks were gathered together to make that style will be the ones that cannot be erased. If you want to fully clear a track that's defined in the original style, it's necessary to edit the style (File >> Stylemaker >> Edit current style), clear the track, and save the style as a new one (unless you would prefer to overwrite the existing style). As with all computer files, when an existing style is overwritten, the original style will be lost and it will be replaced by the new version. If you want to stop a style-defined track from functioning, it's possible to disable it by unchecking "Track Settings >> Enabled". This is a toggle and will disable the track. It's also possible to uncheck which tracks are visible using the "eye" on the lower right of the mixer. This is a useful way of reducing what's visible. The "Show Active, Hide Inactive" option under the 'eye' is also useful for condensing the on-screen display. I hope this offers some insight. --Noel MY SONGS...

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
