Sounds like a potential permissions problem? What directory is your main BIAB program located in (not realtracks and realdrums)?

In other words, BIAB must not be installed in either of the C;/ Program Files folders.

Matt & MIke, my BIAB app is installed in: C:/bb/bbw.

Rusty & Noel, since Cubase and Kontakt also use that external drive and port (without problems), I hesitate to change the port or name because of this BIAB problem.

You mentioned previously that "the drive letter never changes".

Two questions:
1: What is the actual drive letter?
2: Have you been using RealBand in between times, and setting / adjusting any of these values (check-boxes, drive letters etc) while in RealBand?

...when I reload the song, they are reverted back to the standard location...

Exactly what are the standard location(s)? Can you attach screen capture?
Perhaps we are presuming something that is different to what you are witnessing.

1. Actual drive letter is G:, it is prefaced by an identifier: T7 Shield (G:)
2. I hadn't been using RealBand, so I tried doing so - it also couldn't find the G: drive RealDrums, but seemed to know where the RealTracks were.

But, after opening and closing RealBand, then opening BIAB....now BIAB is retaining the RealTracks and RealDrums G: drive preference settings!!!!!

Does RealBand just rely on the BIAB preferences for RealTrack locations? I can't find an option to change that in RealBand.

And thanks everyone for your input!

OK, this is the outcome you wanted. There is some kind of strange interaction with RealBand crazy. They both work differently (somehow). I got caught with that also during earlier testing and so when nothing else made sense for your BIAB sessions, I wondered if it might be related to the way RealBand handles this. Pleased that it works for you wink.
