I m using Band in a Box 2017 Audiophile for Mac and I have noticed that I am missing a lot of the Real Tracks. My request to have a way to search for only the Real Tracks that are N/A so I can find out which ones I need to buy or which ones have yet to be released?
Computer: Macbook Pro, 16 inch 2021 DAWs: Pro Tools, Logic, and Maschine plays drums, percussion, bass, steel pan, keyboard, music producer/engineer
If you check "Show RealTracks that are N/A" it should show them in order at the bottom of the list. The DEFAULT.SOL file has all the 2017 tracks in it bb/Data check that it is the same version that is on the 2017 Audiophile drive that is on the main drive (if BB is run from the main drive.)
That being said if you have the 2017 Mac Audiophile Edition you should have "Everything", as it comes with the Bonus 49-Pak:
Band-in-a-Box® 2017 Over 2,200 RealTracks AIFF files. 2017 49-PAK: 24 Bonus UNRELEASED RealTracks, 22 Instrumental Studies, 30 MIDI SuperTracks, and 59 Styles for Rediscovered RealTracks/MIDI SuperTracks!

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."
