Realband 2020 is all messed up

I just loaded a Band In The Box file or sgu file that sounds good and opened it in Realband 2020 only to find out that at bar 236 is a blank spot for the realtracks except the drums.....?????? I can't figure out why. also the tempo map in Band in the box works good but have a problem at the end of the song....Why???

Would you like me to send you these files so you can figure it out?

Hi horsthartung,

Even though you're experiencing the issue at bar 236 I'm wondering if you may not be experiencing what some call the "255 bar limitation". There was a big discussion over multiple threads a few months ago. +++ HERE +++ is one of the most viewed.

Hello: I am using Real Band 2020 and having difficulty recording a bass line over a series of chords. My ASIO device is a Focusrite Scarlett Solo Second Generation. Real Band recognizes this and I can see recognizes the input as I pluck the bass strings. I click on record and all indications are my playing is recorded. I then click on playback after saving the take, but there is nothing recorded. What am I missing, and why is there no clear instructions on how to record a simple bass, guitar or instrument part anywhere on the web?

Help, I would appreciate it!

Callie,
I wish I had bought this new 2020 BIAB earlier and Especially Real Band, I'm lovin' it. The Real Tracks are amazing. I've been redoing all of my songs. I've put some 'Brent Mason' and 'Jason Roller' guitar, which has transformed my songs, so they sound like recorded in a studio. I would not use any other recording software, absolutely sold on it.You know what they say; KEEP IT COUNTRY! Burton Trent

Check me out and my songs on Reverbnation - BURTON TRENT all done with your software. I have not even touched the surface yet!

Via con dios tienes una bueno dia und haben sie eine guten tag.

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."
