In an earlier post I mentioned RealBand pulls in .SGU files seamlessly. Well, mostly. Changed my mind lately. In v2022 64-bit I'm finding RealBand ignores simple BB .SGU bar settings (mute instruments, back to normal) and track settings (In BB I set audio and MIDI tracks at Rvb 0, RealBand sets it to 40, MIDI files come in at max vol 127 regardless of BB settings). While this is going on, RB obeys my BB pan settings. Is there a RB Option/Preference I'm missing, something that says 'RB keep BB bar and track settings when opening a .SGU'? I did a quick search in the Forum under "RB ignores settings" and "RB changes settings" but I did not come across a question/solution about this.

You're correct. RealBand is BIAB lite and doesn't recognize all BIAB.SGU settings. Ignoring MultiStyles is one RealBand doesn't use.
To use tracks created with advanced BIAB settings or made with MultiStyles, export them as audio files to a folder you choose, open the .SGU file in RealBand and import the saved audio tracks from BIAB.

Thanks! I can see that audio work-around and have used it, particularly for song-endings with a sustained/ held chord. Also, after creating an audio track file from BB, I suggest it's good to keep only the parts that need to make up for .SGU settings not reflected in RB. Saves considerable storage space. Nodes help too. Elastique is a pleasant surprise when it comes to stretching sound. All-in-all, very little time lost in matching up the intended effects.

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."
