95 percent of the time when I load a song demo, Midi tracks (yellow) appear in Soloist and then disappear within a second or so. Why is this?

I have the 2017 Band-in-a-Box UltraPlusPAK Upgrade with RealBand, so I should pretty much have every MIDI track available, from what I understand....

TIA!

When you load the song demo, do you load it from the StylePicker? If so, can you suggest some of the songs that give this problem?

Can you advise one or more of the songs that you load, so that we can verify and try to identify the issue here?

Is there already data in the Soloist track? Perhaps you have some music in the Soloist track already, and this is not part of the song demo. After you load the Demo, and when you generate, this data is deleted.

There will be plenty of support from the forum members if we can just have a few more clues.

Thanks for being so helpful!

Yes, it happens when I load them from the Stylpicker as a "song demo".

Can you advise one or more of the songs that you load, so that we can verify and try to identify the issue here?

Example track: _GYPSYFS (Set # RT 109) The instrument Ocarina appears in the soloist slot and then disappeared as soon as the track finished generating.

Is there already data in the Soloist track? Perhaps you have some music in the Soloist track already, and this is not part of the song demo. After you load the Demo, and when you generate, this data is deleted.

I'm not sure what you mean when you ask "Is there already data in the Soloist track?, or perhaps you have some music in the Soloist track already, and this is not part of the song demo." [/i][i][i][/i]

If it's not part of the demo, why would it pop up in the first place?

Thanks again!

OK, thanks, with that extra information, I have been able to repeat the situation you describe.

Incidentally, when you selected 'Load Song Demo' from the StylePicker, were there two (2) choices available?

I'll report this to the developers for assistance.

The _GYPSYFS is an all RealTracks Style, so the MIDI on the Soloist is probably not supposed to be there. Others may know more however. It seems though that this is not unique behavior to that particular style.

Thanks again!

No, there was only one style available. As an additional note in reference to it being a Real Track, the drums for that track appear to be MIDI, and load properly in the demo.

Yes, I understand that there are no substitute RealDrums for that style, so MIDI drums are not substituted. Hence MIDI drums are used.

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? 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."
