I am just curious what the total style count if you have BIAB 2023 and its free PAK, and BIAB 2024 upgrade installed and UltraPak content installed? Currently I have 7372 items in the list without any filter. I do see styles from 2023, 2022, 2021 etc. The product page says 7,000+ so that sounds like I'm close or else I have everything?

In the purchase grid page it is suggested that Ultra Pak has 4700+ RealTracks. If I browse RealTracks I see 3886 RealTracks available.

How do I figure out what I own that's not installed if some stuff is not installed? I found the Help > what add ons window. Posting. It does show a few minor things that "might" be missing but it looks from the big pile of info here that I must have 99.9% or so of everything that comes in [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]UltraPak.

Image shows maybe 2 midi supertracks missing? Otherwise everything present?

Hi -

- To be absolutely sure, use the "Pickers". In the MultiPicker, RealTracks tab, click on the # button next to the filter string field and select the option to show N/A. This should show about 3926 items in the list. You can sort on the N/A column to see if you are missing any. Set 800 or 'bonus' is the Bonus 49PAK. Likewise for the RealDrums picker. In the StylePicker, you can use the 'Other' filter option to show / not show styles that are N/A, to see exactly which styles you have and do not have. Your install looks as expected for an UltraPAK. If you downloaded the 49PAK, you should install it. This includes MIDI set 89 and MST sets 41 and 42.

The count of 4700 that you saw is likely counting both RealTracks and Drums - sometimes if there aren't separate line items for RealTracks and RealDrums, we'll count them together.

Interesting. I'm about 100 less. 3896 real tracks in list. I don't see much change on screen when I click the N/A grid column. The N/A column is steadfastly blank all around. That's a good sign then?

I think the few midi things that were showing not present that were not part of paid add ons that you can get in the shop might have been part of that optional 49pak thing you can only buy at the time you buy the main product?

If you are in the MultiPicker RealTracks Picker, then click on the # button next to the filter string and show N/A there. If you are in the standalone (old) RealTracks Picker, then check the "show N/A" checkbox at the bottom of the screen. Either way, I think you will find that you are missing the RT instruments in the 49PAK.

Okay, that's the thing that I could have paid an additional $49 for when checking out? Or that's a thing I should have got installed and somehow did not?

That's right, it's an extra $49 bonus PAK that can be added to a Band-in-a-Box order at checkout. However if you contact us we can still send you a checkout link for it for it separately.

This is an interesting thread... I have BIAB 2024 UltraPak+ for Mac with every possible add-on that I believe to be available (including the 2024 Bonus 49Pak), and yet my RealTrack count (in the RealTracks tab on the MultiPicker, with N/A included) is just 3,351. The "what add-ons do I have?" screen says I have everything. So even though I've purchased every RealTracks product that money can buy (as far as I know, and as far as BIAB is telling me), I still have 545 fewer than Warren and 575 less than Andrew's official PG count. 😐

Does it make any difference at all whether using the BIAB Install Manager or installing the files manually (assuming you take care to install all the files)?

A lot of this is determined by what you bought over the years. Every year there are extra and bonus paks. Style paks etc. GXo to help/what do i have and see what comes up. If you think you are missing something you know you bought check in your account and see what is there for download.

The maximum available from PG is 11,131 styles, if you were to purchase the UltraPAK or higher, 49-PAK, all Xtra and XPro Styles, and all Loops-with-Style. You can see all possible styles by showing all found and not-found styles in the Stylepicker, using the "Other" filter.

Greatest number in the universe? Who knows. You'd have to either create your own styles or purchase third party styles.
