Hi Joe,

There is a great option that I use when BiaB releases a new version.


This method KEEPS all your songfiles you have intact, does not take up very much space on the internal hard drive and has always worked well for me.

*leave your original older BB folder intact.

*Connect the new BB USB Hard Drive.

*Read the Readme file on there about how to install the programs, BB and RB, to your internal drive.

*You will have a chance to specify whether or not to also install the RealDrums and RealTracks to the internal drive as well, don't do that, just install the two programs plus the DX effects, fonts and soft synth if needed.

*install them to your old BB folder, riht overtop of whatever is there.

*The new versions will install, but they will NOT overwrite any of your songfiles, custom styles, etc.

*You will also retain any User Settings that you like from the old version.

*After the installer is done, open BiaB and then open the RealDrums Control Panel and use the Browse feature there to point the RealDrums finder to the external USB drive and the RealDrums stored there.

*Do the same with RealTracks, from the RealTracks control panel.

Now you can test the situation.

If all runs well, you can use Explorer to go into the BB folder, locate the Realtracks folder and delete it and all of its lare file contents.

Do the same with the RealTracks folder.

BiaB and RB will be installed onto the internal hard drive, not a large amount of data and they will be in a situation where things may run a tad better running from there.

To use the Realdrums/Realtracks, just make sure that your USB drive is connected to the same USB port on the com[puter as before and is recognized as the same drifve letter by the Operating System.

**I've done the version upgrades like this for over ten years, installing the new right overtop of the old in the same folder, and have never lost a single songfile or custom style or user setting or any addon that was a one-time bonus purchase. It is always all still there.
