I just installed 2019 Ultrapak and when I choose Style Picker, "show all categories", I get this: "Everything Jazz (UltraPak - 2,213) (Found - 1,910)" Seems like it isn't seeing about 303 Jazz Styles. I went to Options/Preferences/RealTracks and my folder is pointed to the correct location, (same for Drums). Also, I went to StylePicker and then clicked on "Rebuild". The first time I did that I got from about 600 up to the 1,910. Any ideas? Thanks.
Did you upgrade from an earlier version (before 2018)? If so, there is a Cleanup routine you could run to make sure the files are all properly reorganized.
BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus Studio 192, Presonus Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors
The "total" # is more because it's including some special purpose .STY files that are not supposed to actually appear in the StylePicker. Instead, here is how you should determine what's available, what you have, and what you are missing.
1 - Press Rebuild in the StylePicker (Fast rebuild is ok). If you did a slow rebuild, BB will also look for User and third party styles (i.e. ones that PG Music didn't make) and add them to the StylePicker. 2 - Click the Clear button so that there are no filters. 3 - Click on the the Other drop-down | Show styles that are found/not found --> select "Show ALL styles".
The number at top left is now the total number of styles available from PG Music regardless of which package you have, as of the date of the latest version/build you have installed, and they are shown in the StylePicker whether you have them or not. Styles that you don't have show as N/A (not available). You can't load and use these styles in your song, but you can demo them by double-clicking, and a pre-made demo will play from our servers as long as your PC is online.
If you want to only show styles that you don't have, click on Other | Show styles that are found/not found --> select "Show ONLY N/A styles".
Now you will see only those styles that you don't have. Once again you can get the total count from the number at the top left of the StylePicker. It is often useful to sort by date or Set# and this will give you an idea of where these styles came from.
Similarly, you can select a specific Category / Genre from the Category menu -- if you are using this as a method to count styles, you will also want to UNCHECK the "Include Similar" checkbox.

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.

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
