Hi I have the Audiophile 2013 pack

Every time I go to load a midi supertrack I get an error unable to load this sound because sound is not found in folder: Band-in-a-Box ???

The files are in the folders! I can see them! Whats the problem?

Regards

Eddie the super midi tracks have no sound attached to them they are well midi files. In order to hear then you have to run them through a synth. The error you see is telling you that it can not find the Hi-Q piano sounds from sampletank.

Do you have sampletank installed, and if so, did you install the sample files, and if so do they show up in sampletank. The way this works in Biab is it automatically loads the sample patch for you, but first it has to be installed properly.

Hope that helps, and if i am not understanding you please clarify.

That's related to Band-in-a-Box not finding the Sample Tank installation where it is supposed to be, or that your Band-in-a-Box Sample Tank sounds are not where they are supposed to be.

Did you choose a non-default location?

1. The usual location for a key file is:
c:\program files (x86)\IK Multimedia\Sample Tank 2.5\Preferences\ST2Pref.txt

2. If you've got that file, then there is supposed to be a line in that file that tells you where the Instruments are:
ie this line....

InstrumentPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\IK Multimedia\SampleTank 2.5\Instruments\

So that message is telling you that it can't find either that file (St2Pref.txt) or the line in that file. Did you install SampleTank somewhere else?

It likely is a spurious message, if SampleTank sounds are working then it is for sure. If so, just ignore it. I'll surpress that message in future versions of BB, because it isn't needed.


Have Fun!

1. Have you installed Sample Tank
2. Have you installed the sound set
3. Have you set up sample tank or the VST instrument to look at those samples.
4. Have you got the .tgs files and the .info files in the same folder as the instruments?

Just a few Pointers

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."
