Looking up your account, it seems you have Band-in-a-Box 2022 Pro for Mac - is that what you're using?

I have the RealTracks installed on a separate drive. I have pointed BIAB to that location for both RealDrums and RealTracks. However, BIAB still does not pick it up. Says all the .ST2 files are missing. I literally just reinstalled the RealTracks... so what happened? Anyone have a solution to this?
It depends on what you mean by "installed" - did you use the Download & Install Manager, or manually install, or copy the RealTracks folders from a previous install? Using the Install Manager should get all the files installed to the correct places, however if you downloaded and installed manually then there's a little bit of a "procedure" to do a split install - here's a tutorial:


If you copied the RealTracks folder from a previous installation, then that wouldn't have installed the Soloists files which are necessary for BIAB to work (not to mention that the RealTrack installers also contain styles, demo files, and other necessary things). You would need to completely reinstall the RealTracks, either using the Install Manager or by following the tutorial video - but using the install manager is MUCH easier.

In your Band-in-a-Box folder (not in the Realtracks or Drums folders) there should be a folder called Soloists - for a 2022 Pro you should have 800 or so files in there (though if you've upgraded BIAB since 2022 there may be over 6000 files here). If you don't have those files, then that will cause the RealTracks to not work - please check that and let us know.
