I was given BAIB/RealBand as a Christmas gift and I purchased and installed RealPAK: Country 6 but these tracks cannot be located or used on either program for some reason. Is there something I'm missing about getting them to BAIB???? This is very frustrating after I spent $79 for the Pak..... If anybody has an answer to this I'd like to know ASAP.... you can email me direct at: aceteleman77@yahoo.com Thanks

DAW mode means it's not going to do any generating of anything either midi or RT's. It's just acting as a regular DAW. It's when you click on "generate" for the first time it then goes into full generate mode and it can take 10 seconds or so and it appears it's locked up but it's only configuring itself. This was a wishlist item a couple versions back. There's lots of people who don't care about using RB to generate new tracks, they use Biab for that and then D&D the track into RB because RB is way slower at generation than Biab is. The complaint was "why do I have to wait for all this before RB first opens when I'm only going to do some audio editing and not planning on generating anything"?

Open the RealTracks Picker, sort by Set #, and see if the instruments from those sets show up there. If not, check the "Show N/A" box at the bottom of the RealTracks Picker window and see if they show up as N/A. If they DO show up as N/A, there may be additional text that tells you what the problem is - missing .ST2 (RealTracks database file), or missing RT folder. Another question, are they ANY RealTracks listed in your RealTracks Picker? Andrew PG Music Inc.

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.
