I have a problem that I've never had before. In v.2015, I try to change the RD track, and the Mixer window shows the change, but still plays the original drums. The Drum track is enabled, I haven't changed anything.
Any help? (Besides Return To Factory - been there)


Thanks,

Bob

I had that same problem this morning (with MIDI drums in BIAB2016). I ended up changing to a different MIDI style, selecting an RD, and it worked, then went back to the original style, selected an RD and it worked, so it appears to be somewhat intermittent. I didn't have automatic RD substitution on, but just tried to change the assigned MIDI drum track to a RealDrums track.

Thanks for responding John. It's weird. I did a RTF, re-booted, and I still can't change drum styles!
Very frustrating!

Just a quick "just in case", because you did not mention it as a condition...

You don't have the track frozen, do you?

Nope. I can replace all of the other tracks, just not the drums.

Seems a few of us have had the drummer a little worse for wear, after the new year.

Usually when I have exhausted all other options its return to factory settings, if that doesn't work I try the last update, if that fails, then just a reinstall of the basic program itself, only takes a few mins.

And if that fails.......well I'm totally stumped.

I seem to remember a similar type of problem

As far I can recall I may have found the answer then by changing the Realdrums patch and then saving it to version 2 before hitting play

Maybe worth a try

Same here. No matter which Real Drums patch I select it's always the same one. Right now I have RealDrums=JazzBebopDannySticks but it's brushes all the way through. Also, it doesn't go to Style B after the first chorus. Any ideas anybody?

What version/build of BiaB are you running? Windows or Mac?

I've had this happen in v 2022.
Can't remember the exact cause but it was related to the intro being 2 bars and possibly using holds etc.
If you have any kind of intro, try removing it and see if that does anything. Make sure song starts at bar 1.

Does the RealDrum change if you select a different Style that uses a different drum?

Since going to Options | Return to Factory Settings did not resolve the issue, please close Band-in-a-Box, go to your bb folder (usually c:\bb\preferences, but it can start with a different letter if you installed to an external drive), and delete the following two files:

Mysetup.dk
intrface.bbw

Next, please right click on your Band-in-a-Box shortcut and select Properties | Compatibility | check "Run program as administrator" and click apply. Then just double click on your Band-in-a-Box icon to launch the program.


Best,

Thanks,

What package type are you running for 2015? Pro, MegaPAK, UltraPAK, etc? Was it on an external HD? Did you happen to do a split install? Do any error messages pop up at all when you try and make the switch?

I've just updated my BIAB 2022 UltraPak to build 926, and easily reproduced the problem described in this post from seven years ago.

1. Open app to chord chart view with default style and C-major chord.
2. Pressed space-bar to play briefly then stop.
3. Right-click on Drums in Mixer pane and select Find Best Sub for...
4. Make RealDrums selection.
5. Press Ok.
6. Press space-bar to play and observe no change in drum track.

I want to restate that this post started SEVEN YEARS AGO.

Any thoughts out there among the Illuminati?

Is there some other more central place for bug/anomaly reports?

PS: I did delete the dot-bk and dot.bbw files and restarted the computer.
PPS: Retired computer programmer. Guilty as charged.

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.
