I recently bought xtra styles 1-3. I have 5,470 styles before purchase and after rebuilding the style list it got down to 5,362. What could be the cause and how do I resolve it?

Thanks.

although this may not resolve your problem try the " slow build "

Yup, I did that but the number did not change. I was expecting that the number would increase after installing the xtra packs but it got fewer instead. frown

Thanks.

In Stylepicker, I wonder if the setting to show styles that are not available (N/A) was active prior to installing the XTRA Styles Paks?

This setting is found other the "Other" filter in Stylepicker.

Also, make sure that you click on "Clear" in Stylepicker to ensure that no filters are active.

The setting is "Show only Styles that are FOUND" There are also no filters when I re-gererated the Styles.

I re-generated the Styles again just to ensure that everything is clear before doing so and the number is still the same. One thing I noticed, though, is that when the yellow message appear, it says that it is processing 5,702 Styles. Does it mean that all the rest are not found? I just don't get it.

Thanks.

I tried changing the setting to show Styles that are not found and I saw that there are 109 styles not found. These are from the BonusPAK and MST 21-24. Where do I get this? I thought that I already have everything in the UltraPlusPAK. If need to reinstall some items, what are these?

The missing midi supertracks might be included in the +++ 2017 Bonus 49-PAK +++ available as an add-on purchase for $49.

+++ This forum thread +++ has additional links and information about the 2017 Bonus 49-PAK.

The UltraPlus PAK does not include materials released on bonus PAKs or Extra styles.

Oh, I see. I thought It's just the same as the 2016 49PAK - Full? I should have bought the 2017 49PAK. frown

If you change the BBWIN in the URL to BBMAC, you get the corresponding Mac version of the paks.

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."
