I get this error every time I open a Seq file for the first time. So I have to open it again.....but after I do and try to save it with the same file name I get another error message saying it couldn't save the file cause of some kind of TMP error in the folder I was trying to save it in.

AND it destroys the sound of the file and it's totally usless.

the only way it works is if I save the file with a different file name....so whats up with this?

I'm running RealBand on a USB Hard Drive and I told RealBand Audio page where I wanted my Temp files to be stored:

example: F:\Seq Files Horst\Temp

it doesn't store the there.....it stores them in F:\Seq Files Horst

This problem is driving me crazy and I need someone to help me fix this...

Are you running RB as an administrator?

I assume you used the Temp Audio Directory setting in Preferences to set the folder, right?
Does the folder exist?
Does your user have the necessary rights (permissions) to that folder?
Have your tried a different folder name, or using a path that does not contain spaces just to rule out some weird path issue?
Like Maybe create an F:\TempAudio folder and point it to there, see if anything changes.

Lastly, is this F: drive an internal hard drive?

Does your user have the necessary rights (permissions) to that folder?.....YES.....I am the user

Have your tried a different folder name, or using a path that does not contain spaces just to rule out some weird path issue?.....Like I said I created my own folder called F:\Seq Files Horst\Temp

Like Maybe create an F:\TempAudio folder and point it to there, see if anything changes.....See above...already tried that....

Lastly, is this F: drive an internal hard drive?....No...the F Drive is the USB Hard Drive BIAB\RealBand 2020

What else you got?

If you are using the USB external drive as a Temp directory I suspect that is the problem.

I don't think I've ever thought to do that. Not sure why you would ever want to use a USB drive for this purpose.
For one thing, when you record a track, the data gets written to the Temp Audio Directory. If this is a USB external drive it's going to be much slower than an internal drive 99% of the time.

Try changing your Temp Audio Directory to an internal drive.
See if that helps; I'm guessing it does.

If you're worried about space; it is indeed 'temporary' storage and RB cleans up after itself when you close out.
This is simply where any new audio chunks get stored during your session. You get that space back when you close.
Your specs imply you have a TB C; drive. Why not use that?

I'm not here to challenge you, just trying to help.
I don't have to.

Try changing the text to show a Full Path, by adding a trailing backslash, like this:

F:\Seq Files Horst\Temp\

That might make a difference. Worth a try.

1. Is this ONE specific .SEQ that this is happening with? Or is this ANY .SEQ that you open?

2. If it's ANY .SEQ, does the error happen when you load Listen.SEQ from the RealBand\Samples folder?

3. What is the exact text of the error message? Also, is a crash report generated when you OK the message box? Screenshot would be ideal. You can attach a screenshot to a forum post by clicking the File Manager link.

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."
