G'day. Problem is I am missing some Real Styles from the Style Picker. For example I can see that there is a certain piano folder in the directory but not in the style picker. I Real Styles address is correct. Also there are many ST2 files with nothing in them? Any ideas?

cheers

Soulagent,

I wonder if the style filter is filtering. To double-check this, click on the "showall" (see below) and the filter will be returned to its non-filtering state?

Noel

Please,

I got on _Category: "All Styles (1759)",
but on the top-right, is ("Total Style entries 3875")

What I have to do to increase my "1759" number ? (Number of available styles)

Thanks

Hi Jose,

What version of BIAB do you have? (for example: version 2011.5 UltraPlus Pak, etc.)

Regards,
Noel

Hello Soulagent,

You may as well install the Build 329 update:

Can you be more specific? We aren't sure what you mean...

Quote:

Also there are many ST2 files with nothing in them?



Do you mean that the ST2 files are missing?

Quote:

The total style entries is more than the "All Styles", because most styles have more than one entry - i.e. they are in more than one category.

The total number of styles you *should* have depends on which package you have. If you have the EverythingPAK hard drive, you will have more styles than if you have the MegaPAK, for example. The 2011.5 EverythingPAK version has around 2800 total. Do you have a hard drive version?

If you have a hard drive version, all of the files are preinstalled, if you have a download or disc version, you would need to install the files. The RealStyles (STY) files are installed with the RealTracks.
--------

From what I can tell, it sounds like your bb folder is missing ST2 files and RealStyles (.STY files). To get these files, reinstall your RealTracks, making sure to select the correct location of your Band-in-a-Box folder.

Please,
How do I have to proceed to "reinstall my RealTracks"?
(I have a lot of them on my Band-in-a-Box D:\bb\RealTracks folder)

Thanks

Hi,

If you had downloaded your RealTracks installers, or have them on DVD, then you would run those installers. If you tell us what exactly you have, we could give you better instructions...

Even though you have lots of folders in your D:\bb\RealTracks folder, that is just the audio files. You also need to also have the .ST2 and .STY files in your main D:\bb folder. You can get these files by running the installers. Or, you can copy them from an ultraplusPAK or EverythingPAK hard drive if you have one.

How many R*.ST2 files are in your bb folder, and are there some in another location? Try a search... for R*.st2

Jose,

Have a look at the link below and you'll see what Andrew and I are meaning in relation to the different "Paks" of BIAB.

http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.htm

These packages offer different collections of files. Some contain all the files some only contain some of the files. It depends on how much a person wishes to spend.

Regards,
Noel

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
