I have a SGU that I opened in RB from BiaB. If I recall correctly, this was originally a MIDI file I got from somewhere. Then I converted MIDI tracks to RealTracks in BiaB.

Now in RB I want to remove all of these unused tracks.

But I get a notice saying that isn't allowed.

Export all to wav, start a new song, import the ones you want, delete the old BIAB song. RB is much better anyway,


I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

I was afraid that was going to be the answer. Maybe I'll check the wish lists and if not already on there I'll add it. Seems like it should be pretty easy to delete unwanted tracks, if RB wants to be a DAW.

Make the BB tracks regular tracks (a menu choice) and then you can do whatever you want with then.

... that is the reason why you never, I repeat: NEVER!, work with the original version.

It takes a lot of disk space, but working with a "work copy" is the safety net to fall back to earlier stages of the work. If everything is o.k., then delete all the intermediate versions that you don't need anymore.

Once in RB this is not necessary.
Just make sure to save it as a SEQ file. Then the original SGU is safe, plus:

Now when you Save it in RB a backup copy of the previous version is stored in your RBBackup folder .. so you always have a 'working copy'.

To open the previous version use File - Open Special (or Open Backup, depending on version).


Make your sound your own!

And once you have saved as a SEQ file, opening that file again is nearly instant.

I was already saving the SEQ version just for that reason. However, I did not know that RB automatically makes a backup copy. Thanks for that tip.

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
