Hey there,
I just purchased my Ultrapak upgrade for the 2025 version of Band In A Box and BIAB doesn't seem to be recognising my Realtracks. I do a rebuild and have the program pointed towards my USB that has the Realtracks folder, but it only pops up with 4% of the Realtracks found.
Previously I started with the 2023 UltraPak+, then upgraded to 2024, and ran the upgrades for the Realtracks pointed to the external drive. That went fine with no problems. When I purchased 2025 this morning I thought i'd do a fresh install to my Macbook so I de-registered and deleted the local copy of BIAB off my mac. Installed the 2025 BIAB program locally, and also installed the 449-467 Realtracks, Additional Content 2025 PlusPAK and the 2025 Bonus 0pak by changing the location of those to add them to my external drive.
I'm pretty sure doing this with 2024 worked fine and I didn't have any problems all year. Now BIAB doesn't seem to find any of my realtracks off my USB. All my RealDrum sets can be found on the USB, but the RealTracks don't seem to be showing up. The folder is the same as previously used, and is 178gig on the USB. I have done numerous slow and fast rebuilds.
When I am in the "confirming and set folder for real tracks and real drums" dialogue box it does mention the folder I have pointed it to on the external drive has "4,084 Realtracks are found in folder" and "4,106 RealDrums are found in the folder" both on my USB in the appropriate BIAB / Realtracks and BIAB / Drums folders.
Drums seem to pop up and be discovered with no problems according to the "What add-ons do I have" option, but the realtracks just don't seem to appear and it is telling me I only have 4% of the realtracks found, which are:
RealTracks sets in /Volumes/SandDisk 256gb/Applications/Band-in-a-Box/RealTracks/ : 226- Requested Drums 229- Great Pop Drums and Percussion 238- Danny Gottlieb Jazz Drums 247- Country Brushes and Percussion 251- Traditional Celtic Percussion 262- Great Country Drums with Shannon Forrest 275- Retro 60s Drums 276- Pop Percussion 277- Pop and Rock Drums with Shannon Forrest 288- Southern Pop Drums with Land Richards 290- More Pop Percussion Singles 308- Djembe and more with with Keita Ogawa 316- More Southern Pop Drums with Land Richards 396- Wes Little Singer-songwriter mallets & cajon 401- Modern Jazz Drums with Mike Clark: Fusion & Funk 402- Modern Jazz Drums with Mike Clark: Swing & more 443- Miscellaneous Modern Grooves
The Directory is correct and has all the other realtrack files there from the previous releases.
Anyone have any idea what is going on? Have I done something wrong, or could it be a bug in the new 2025 software? Any help would be appreciated. Thought i'd post here, as i'm in Australia and BIAB help is open from 11:00pm until early morning here. I'll try and get in early in the morning, but was hoping someone can point me in the right direction to hopefully solve this issue.
