I have the same problem with my socks.

Apparently there is a rift in the universe that inexorably draws socks and styles into its nether regions.

Its even worse for styles, because you can't tie them together.

Recent version lets you tie them together even if they don't match...

Bruno.

Does this happen with all styles, or just some? If it's just some, is it always the same ones? This will give us a clue as to what's going on.

Try Rebuild List button; might help.. it might remove some styles from the list, but that means they aren't in the right place to begin with.
The program looks in a specified folder and if they are not there, they aren't found .. even though your list may show them (from previous session)

Check the routing for Realtracks in the Options-Preferences-Song Generation area.

A quick chat with live help would likely solve it quickly.

I checked for folders and everything seems Ok. My Realband program from BIAB 2012 Pro works only with the following styles :

_JazzSwP
_JazFred
_AcCntry
_HankPS
_Elecrok
_DreamyP

Does this mean I don't have access to any more Realband styles without paying ?

If you only purchased the BIAB Pro version, then you only get a handful of RealTracks. That's why the other versions cost more, because you get so many additional RealTracks. The application program for both BIAB and RealBand are the same for all versions, so what you are paying for are additional styles, RealDrums, and RealTracks (as well as perhaps some additional add-ons).

With just the ProPack, these are the only RealTracks you receive:


If you want more RealTracks, then you need to upgrade to a higher level version. The chart on this page shows you what comes with which version.

thanks John,

It is quite clear. the page you mentioned doesn't show if it is possible to upgrade from Pro version to let's say Ultrapak or Everythingpak fot instance, and how much it would cost

I think it would cost you $279 to go to the UltraPlusPak or $379 to go to the EverythingPak, but I would give PGMusic a call or email or LivChat and ask them. Assuming you ordered from them, they'll know what you already purchased and can tell you exactly what it will cost.

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.

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."
