Hello everyone
I'm here for the first time and I hope to be in the right forum

I lost its .SGU file due to system crash.
I still have mp3 file.
Can I go back to the SGU file in some way?
Can I upload the song even though I do not have sgu file with

Thanks for helping.

If you want a quick fix; no the data from the BiaB file is not saved in the mp3 file so it can't 'go back to the sgu file' with a single click.
However, you can use the Audio Chord Wizard (in BiaB or RealBand) to determine the tempo and chords of the mp3 file .. and if you can remember the style you could easily set the A/B markers on the chords (after the ACW gets them for you) and have a pretty quick start to rebuilding it.
/only suggestion I have off the top of my head
Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Hi Sergio,
Welcome to the forums.
If the SGU file was wiped from the hard drive because of a system crash, it's not possible to retrieve it from an mp3.
However, if \bb folder was not affected by the crash, it's possible that the SGU file is in that directory. Also, if you run BIAB from the USB drive, it's possible that the file is in the \bb folder on the USB drive.
About posting ...
If you wrote the song (that is, it's not a cover of someone else's song), you own it and can do what you want to with it.
Hope this helps,
Noel

It's gone if it was on the drive that crashed and you reinstalled on that drive.
It's for this reason that I keep a system with 3 drives. C drive has the OS and the main program apps...D drive is a storage drive and E drive is a USB external backup.
Once a song is finished, I move the project off of the C drive and into the D drive..... then mirror that drive to E.
Crashes of the main C drive rarely affect the secondary drives in adverse ways. More than one time, I have simply installed the D drive into a new machine and been able to read the data......
ALSO..... depending on the level of damage to the C drive in the "so-called" crash..... I have also taken a C drive, (back in the days of jumpers on the drives) and set it up as a secondary drive for grins..... and I was able to see all my directories and even copy the data and folders I needed off the damaged drive into a new clean drive.

Hi Guitarhacker
I heard some of your songs.
Really compliments.
I love country music but it's very difficult for me.
I bought some internet courses but I have not had great results
Your recordings seems perfect.
Compliments for the studio too.

Hallo. Thank you. It's all done here in this humble little work space I call a studio.... 90% of the instruments are from PG music software and the guitars are mostly me playing. Although, I have been known to use BB/RB guitars when I get lazy, from time to time.

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."
