I went to look at Noel's thread on SampleTank and found out I a missing a lot of stuff. I don't have the Omnisynth_2 folder at all. I had a sampletank folder before I upgraded to 2014, but I guess it never installed correctly. I didn't use it in 2013 at all.

Where do I get those files???? If I get them from BIAB, I'll email support.

I have these files
sampletank_2.5_setup.exe (from 2013)
hi-q_instruments_sampletank_01.exe (2013)
hi-q_instruments_sampletank_02.exe (2014)

I guess I could uninstall all of sampletank and start over, but any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Kevin,

I double-checked my Sampletank instruments and I've highlighted those that I purchased from eSoundz when they were having a sale. Each one cost $15.



Presumably, the other unhighlighted folders are what should have come along with Sampletank and BIAB.

Also, I just double-checked the files I downloaded with 2013. They are below.



The first Hi-Q set is definitely part of 2013 (as you've already said). If you don't have this installation set in the either the download or on the USB drive, give PG Music and ring and ask if you can have a link to get it. They will have it on record that you purchased 2013 and so they are only supplying you with what you already should have.

Sampletank installation can cause a couple of issues. If you are on Win 7, you need to set the bbw.exe to "Administrator Permissions" to get Sampletank to work. On page two of THIS THREAD, I comprehensively go through checking to see that Sampletank works and possibilities why it might not. Mac, Larry Kehl and a couple of other forum members offer some great insights, too. It could be useful information for you.

Given the above, I find myself thinking that it might actually be easier to uninstall and then re-install Sampletank. That should help minimize any potential issue.

Hope this helps,
Noel

I am now trying to "authorize" my sampletank and it is asking for a serial number -- does anyone know what to put in there?

No wonder I didn't get it all installed the first time around (ha, ha).



*** Never mind, I found an old email!

Kevin,

What you need to do is to create an account at IK Multimedia (if you haven't already done so).

THIS LINK will help.

Regards,
Noel

EDIT: I know you don't need this anymore but I'll leave it in on the off-chance that someone stumbles across the thread when searching for what to do.

Kevin,

The Omnisynth_2 folder is a separate purchase from Sonic Reality so you won't have the folder after running the 3 installers you mentioned.

Hope that helps,
Ed

Well there you have it! If another big sale comes around, I will check it out.

Thanks.

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.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
