RB does not record:
I open an SGU file in RB, plays good.
In Tracks view I select an empty channel and change the button from M to P to activate and
click red record button.
I play and record, but when I select Save the take option the recording fails with error message:
"Could not open the file: c:\users\Jay Lee\AppData\Local\Temp|^0.WAV."
I am using Win 10 and RB 2018 version and Focusrite 2i2. I worked perfectly in 2017 version.
Please help. Thanks.

Are you logged into the machine as Jay Lee?
Kind of sounds like a permissions issue.
Do you know how to check the file permissions for that file?
Does it exist? Or was the program not able to save it there?
If it does exist can you play it in Media Player or such?
I'd try creating a New Folder on your C: drive (or a different drive if available), then going into RB Preferences and changing the Temp Audio Directory to the new folder. Then try recording again.
If you create the folder you should have rights to the folder so it may eliminate a permissions issue if that's what it is.
The Temp Audio directory is where these temporary recordings are written to.
They are kept available for use by the program while it is running so you can 'Undo' etc. but once you save the file, or exit RB, they get cleaned up. So you will have to try recording again and then look for the resulting file in the error message while RB is still open. If you closed RB afterwards I wouldn't expect to be able to find that file now; it should have been cleaned up. You have to create it and check it before RB cleans it up (deletes it).
The other thing I noticed in your post; clicking the button to 'unmute' doesn't arm a track, simply highlighting the track by clicking on the track name/number area selects it to record to.
You also didn't mention whether you changed the track type to Audio. You would need an Audio track if recording audio (unless you have your preferences set to 'always record audio too' for a MIDI track).
But from your posted error message somehow audio recording took place, so that's not a likely solution, but worth mentioning.
Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Hi rhav thanks for advice.
I just figured it out: I had to download and update focusrite 2i2 driver and RB now created ^0.WAV file.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
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.

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."
