Been dying to get this and today I finally did. However, after downloading (as I have all the other sets I've purchased) this one isn't working right. Frankly, I have not had a problem with any previous downloads until now.

For starters I can't find the "TexMex2Beat" style listed anywhere. And, yes, I've looked. I have tons of styles but went looking alphabetically and just can't find it. I can, however, find the individual instruments making up the set. Thus I can incorporate the "Bass, Electric, TexMex2Beat Ev 120", the guitars and the accordion into other styles but where is the "TexMex2Beat" style I purchased? The really stressful part comes when I try to incorporate the "TexMex2Beat" drums and I get a missing file message!

Quote:

"C:\bb\DrumsTEXMEX2BEAT\TEXMEX2BEAT_140_STYLE does not exist."


(I can't read ALL of what is in the yellow box as the screen cuts off the end).

Also shown is this:

Quote:

"C:\bb\Drums\TexMex2BeatEV\TexMex2BeatEV_140_Style.T file has error: Wave File doesn't exist in same folder as txt file or in another folder.
C:\\bb\Drums\TEXMEX2BEAT\TEXMEX2BEAT_140_STYLE.W"


(Again, I can't read everything in the box as the screen cuts off the ends).

I don't know what to do. Perhaps the file was corrupted on download? I've tried installing it twice.

Help...

Hi rokq,

You need to contact PG Music about this. They'll help you out. My experience is that PG Music's help is unparalleled. They fully stand behind all their products.

You'll find a number of ways to contact them listed under the "Support" link at the very top of this web page. If it was me, I'd try the toll-free number.

All the best,
Noel

P.S. When the problem is solved, could you please give an outline what the issue was so that if it arises again, we might be able to help others.

Thanks. Actually, I just came back to delete this as I had forgotten about Tech Support. I'll call Monday.

I spoke with Tech Support and they sent me a link to the download again. I kinda figured it COULD simply be that something happened to the first download. (Actually I HOPE that's all it was!!) I'll find out in a moment.

Damn, still doesn't work. Called TS back.

Well, it's a lead tech issue now as the problem couldn't be resolved. The file that is said to be "missing' is clearly THERE it's just that BIAB can't find it. (I can play the Drum WMA file so it IS in the bb folder even though BIAB says it's "missing")

Have to wait for another tech.

What sucks is that I just got back from vacation and have been really looking forward to getting this set for weeks.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
