I purchased and downloaded the Xtra PAK 12 Style set for Blues. I was so proud when I finally got the styles to show up in the Style Picker. The Demos sound Great! But when I apply these styles to a song, I only get some basic tracks to play. Lots of error messages saying the Real Track or Soloist "not found". "This means that you do not have the Real Track that is required for this style or solo" I downloaded the latest update, thinking that might solve the problem. That did not help, if I downloaded correctly. From the RealTracks dialog box I ran the 'rebuild and fix' utility, but received a message that "There are no missing RealTracks XT2\ST2 files. Nothing to do!"
Thanks for the info, Pipeline. I have purchased the UltraPAK upgrade to 2022 version and will download this afternoon. I will post whether that solves my problem.
If you are using the Download and Install Manager program to install the RealTracks for the UltraPAK, please make sure that the box for Upgrade from Previous is unchecked. When the list is reset you can then download and install all files that are included in your Band-in-a-Box. When installation is complete, please open the Style Picker and click the Rebuild button at the bottom.
I just don't get it. I downloaded and installed UltraPAK and I don't see a difference. Still won't play RealTracks in Xtra PAK 12 Style set, and to tell the truth, there are other Styles that won't play all the RealTracks either. I am running BIAB 2022, build 922. I've downloaded and installed all these PAKs in drive c:bb What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help, Chantelle. I'm trying your suggestion now. The box was checked by default.
Once installation is complete, open the Style Picker and click the Rebuild button. You can then double check whether or not they installed properly by going to Help | What Add-ons do I have. In this window, if you have the UltraPAK or higher, you should have all RealTracks Sets and RealDrum Sets Found.
I'm baaack! update on the saga to include Style Set Xtra PAK 12: Blues to my toolkit. Ultra PAK would not fit on my C: drive, so I purchased, and have now received the accompanying external hard drive with BIAB ULTRA PAK 2022 pre-installed. I am now attempting to play my 'songs' with the hard drive, and I have the EXACT problem I had. The RealTracks are not found. I suspect I haven't got the Xtra PAK 12 installed correctly.
Under Help / What Band In a Box Add-Ons do I have? All the Xtra Style sets, along with many RealTracks and RealDrums are not found.

Any help?
This may sound silly, but I promise it's important to check - did you:
1) Run setup from the external HD and choose to run it from the external HD, or a different method? If you had the old C install still there, make sure you're not accidentally running it from the old C drive location, otherwise the same issue will likely persist. 2) When you tried to install XtraStyles PAK 12, did you install it to the external HD and not internal C?
Those are excellent questions, Ember, and I hope I can be sure of the answers. I ran setup from the external HD, and it shows up as UltraPAK (D:) This is where I run BIAB from. The C: install is still there, along with the Download Manager that holds my Style Set Xtra PAK 12. I wonder if I should uninstall that version?
I also wonder if the heart of my question is 'how do I install the Style Set XtraPAK 12 into the HD version. I changed the target to D: , and the XtraPAK styles show up in the stylepicker, but the Real Tracks aren't found.
The Xtra Styles uses RealTracks from the UltraPAK so it means either they are not installed, or your program is looking in the wrong directory for them. You can reset the folder path it is searching by following the steps in this video:
That's it!! Thanks so much for showing me this, Audio Track. Also, thanks to Chantelle for posting the video showing step by step. now I can make music!

Fantastic Simon, that for letting us know you resolved. I'm glad to be a bit of help in some small way.

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.

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."
