So, a few times, I've picked a realtrack from the list, and it says it can't find it.
Since it says it's building the list from what you have after you install, and it did it again after I installed the mega pack, I assumed the RealTracks in the picker matches what I have.
I shook it off for now and went about getting familiar with the product.
And I'm thumbing through RealTracks in the mixer, because I want a simple bass.
I picked one, "Bass, Acoustic, Bowed HeldSimple Ev 085" .... and it played ... nothing.
So I went out to the folder it's supposed to be in. The folder is there, but all that's in the folder is a text file that's called "AlternateFolderNames.txt
On that topic, if you pick a realtrack in the mixer, one of the track options is to "Erase Track". I assume that means from your song and not from your hard drive.
Firstly, I don't know too much about the MegaPak. I suspect that the best people to help you with that version of BIAB are PG Music staff.
That's said, the below might assist.... it's worth trying.
Enter into Realtrack Picker as follows...
1. Rightclick on the Realtrack name in the Mixer.
2. Choose "Select Realtracks" -- this is the top option -- from the menu that pops up.
3. When in Realtrack Picker, deactivate the "Show Realtracks that are N/A" (#1 on the below image).
4. Click on "Show all" (#2).
Hopefully this will only let you see those Realtracks that you have and not all the available Realtracks (which will include those that you do not have).
There's a similar setting in Style Picker under the "Other" filter menu that will allow you to only see the styles that are present with the MegaPak.
For reference, the first BIAB package that contains all currently available Realtracks (not including BonusPaks) is the UltraPak.
Looking closer, I noticed that a lot of them said "UltraPak" right there. So that probably explains it. I probably have it showing me all that should be available.
So I've sent a message to sales to see what they can do as far as upgrading.

Phil,
If you get the chance to upgrade, you won't be sorry.
In 2006, I started out with the MegaPak because I was unsure if BIAB would do what I wanted. Then, when the first sale came around, I upgraded to the UltraPak.
The first purchase of the UltraPak will be the most expensive. After that, the top-up that keeps the package up-to-date usually costs around US$100 yearly (that's what it has been for the last few years). PG Music has December sales for Windows and mid-year sales for Mac.
These days I use the Audiophile edition of the software. This is the UltraPak-equivalent but with uncompressed files.
The UltraPak is the most popularly used package on these forums.

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.

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."
