I'm having a problem playing back songs. When I select a song, no matter which I choose, I only hear the drums.
I can see in the mixer that there is audio meant to be playing on other instruments, but there is no sound, despite nothing being muted. If I solo individual instruments, I don't hear anything - only the drums will play if soloed.
On the mixer, the drums are green, but all other instruments are yellow - does this indicate missing files?
When I check the track settings for the other instruments, all tracks are enabled.
I have version 2018 UltraPlus Pak for Mac.
Can anyone help?

More info please - is it only midi drums you hear, or is that true for a style with RealDrums and Realtracks.
What happens if you run an all midi style?

Thanks for the reply Ian.
I can swap out the drums for different styles, both RealDrums and MIDI, and I hear both.
Regarding an all midi style - I'm not sure how to select this: I go to the Song Selection window, and the categories I have include Name, File Name, Melody and Style. I can't select MIDI/Real from here.
However, if I select any song and load it, I hear only drums. If I then change the style, and choose only MIDI styles, still I hear only drums. However, if I then change to a RealTracks style, now I hear all instruments, and all instruments are green.
Hmm... ok, something to do with the MIDI settings. I think this is related to CoreMIDI setup, because if I instead select Apple DLS, then it works (but sounds very basic). I use MIDI a lot in Logic Pro, and have a large number of sample libraries that I use there, so MIDI seems to be working fine, but clearly something wrong with my MIDI settings in BIAB. I've tried different ports, but nothing works when I have CoreMIDI selected.
Thanks again,
Garry

Hi, Ian (Sixchannel) is on the money here. Generally, nearly all styles have replaced MIDI drums with RealDrums as the new default.
Look at the mixer, and if the instruments appear in yellow, they are MIDI and if they appear in green, they are Real Tracks (or Real Drums)
I suspect most of the instruments (except for Drums) are in yellow for the problem songs you have encountered, which suggests that there is a problem with your MIDI output device. I don't use Mac so this may be slightly different on your system, but check two things:
1: Change a style to one that is all RealTracks (green) - do all the instruments play correctly?
2: Check under Menu Options > MIDI/Audio driver setup. What is the MIDI Output driver you are using, and if you check "Use VSTi/DXi Synth" and "Route MIDI Thru to MIDI driver" and select a DXi synth, do you now get MIDI sounds?
Please let us know the outcome.

Ok, thanks guys - we nailed it! I went into MIDI/Core Audio (choose ports), and set MIDI In to Port 1, and everything else to BIAB Virtual Output.
Now everything works - thanks for the quick replies, much appreciated.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! Holiday Hours
Monday, October 14th is Canadian Thanksgiving!
Our Holiday schedule that day is:
Customer Service: 8:00AM to 4:00PM PDT

We will be back to our regular schedule Tuesday, October 15th.
RealBand 2019 Build 5 Update Available!
All RealBand 2019 for Windows customers can download the latest FREE patch update (build 5) here.
Summary of Changes in Build 5 (Oct 10)
Fixed: Sometimes the position of the VST/DX plugs window (even if not visible) would prevent a drop, such as into the drop station, from occurring.
Fixed: When batch converting files, the volume of some file types such as wav/mp3/wma/mp4, etc. would be too low.
Fixed: In Chords Window, you could not enter held chords on Piano track.
Fixed: LeadSheet might not display tied notes on the last bar of a track.
Fixed: Pressing "M" key in Editable Notation to insert a new note at the current time location on the Staff was inserting a duplicate note rather than inserting it above an existing note.
Notation Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64-bit for macOS Catalina
With Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64-bit for Mac we added Drum Notation Support, and we didn't stop there! Other Notation Enhancements added in this new version are:
-A new track type (Drums) is available for the Melody and Soloist tracks.
-Clicking close to a stave line will put a note on the stave line instead of between stave lines. Previously, you had to click extremely close to a stave line to insert a note on it.
-Holding down the control key and pressing the zoom in/out buttons results in finest possible incremental adjustment in size.
-In the Notation Window Options dialog, the clefs split point asterisk indicates that C5* is middle C.
-Notation is much clearer, not jagged, on retina screens.
-The clefs split point can be set by the spin controls.
-The right-click menu in the Editable or Staff Roll mode Notation window has an option to change the current beat resolution. Previously, the only way to do this was to right-click on the time line.
-There is a keystroke entry mode, which lets you enter a melody entirely using keystrokes. The keystrokes are N to enter a note, M to enter a third note, up/down cursor to change the pitch of the highlighted note, and left/right cursor to move the time line.
-You can quickly enter forced accidentals from the right-click menu.
