OK thanks Matt I understand what you are doing now. smile

I have a few more questions.
With my current minimal installation, when I try out styles and also when I select many for my songs, I often get 'error messages' notifying me of things that are missing.

I assume that the styles expects to see all of the required instruments it needs to play the style correctly.
Is there an easy way to get around this?
Could I somehow set up BIAB so that when I am auditioning styles I can plug in a USB drive and have it look for the styles from there?
Then when I have found a good style (with its Real Tracks) I can copy the required tracks onto my main drive (somewhere) and have the style load without any complaints?
