BIAB 2018, When I replace a midi track in a midi style with a real track, save a song, close BIAB app. Run Biab, reload the song, real track won't play .

Have you tried hitting the "return to factory settings" button. It cures a world of pain in BIAB.

Hi Vincente,

In addition to Dan's excellent suggestions, just to clarify.... When you reload the song, do you then press the "Generate" button?

Regards,
Noel

After, reload the song with a real track which I replaced from a midi track, click 'Generate' button/icon. It won't work.
I must reload the midi track, then replace with a real track again and (Re)-generate, it'll work. It's pain. cry

I’m not an expert on this one.

But isn’t the MIDI track being reloaded by the style? I would do this by creating a new style from scratch, simply choosing what I want on each track.

No doubt there is probably a way to edit the style, but my way doesn’t take much effort.

Hi again, Vincente,

This is worth a try as it sometimes makes a difference...

1. Close BIAB if it is open.

2. Right-click on the BIAB start-up icon and select "Run as administrator".

3. Open your saved style and see if BIAB works correctly.

Regards,
Noel

Thank you Noel96,

I always run BIAB with Admin. account. It won't work.
But the Drums track is no problem when you replace MIDI to real drum track

Hi Vincente.

Just to clarify in case it is useful information... "Run as administrator" is not the same as logging into Windows as administrator. So, if you didn't try "Run as admin", it is still worth a try.

Also, have you excluded your \bb folder from being checked by your anti-virus software? Not doing this can cause issues sometimes.

That said, when Windows starts doing something that it never used to, "Return to factory" is always a good thing to try. This is found under the "Options" menu on the uppermost menu bar. Use the "MOST" settings to begin with.

(It's a good idea to save your current settings before returning to factory settings. The option to do this is also under the Options menu.)

Lastly, have you tried changing MIDI to Realtracks in two or three different songs? It could be that the songfile you are working from has some kind of glitch.

Regards,
Noel

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."
