Hello,
A yellow message about sample rates would at bootup would typically be notifying you that the input and output sample rates are different, so recording will not work. You can review the text of the message by going to help | Show log of messages. You can fix this problem by following the advice in the message.
Style not found messages are typically caused by not selecting the correct folder locations for Band-in-a-Box, RealTracks, and RealDrums. To fix this, review folder locations in the Preferences --> Song Generation --> Paths... Also, click Rebuild in the StylePicker. If you have the UltraPAK on an external drive, make sure that you have the correct drive letter specified.

Andrew, thanks for the information. Sometimes I do not get the bottom of the message and it is gone. Glad to know where I can find it, if necessary.

sorry to hear you are having problems. did you install everything to the default locations?
i've never used a version on an external hard drive, just downloaded and installed to the default locations.
you shouldn't be having this trouble if everything was downloaded to the default locations.
the sample rates - when i got it - was due to my windows sound set up not matching BIAB's so i fixed it by changing the default windows sound playback to the 16 bit 44.1 setting
if you bought direct from PG and you've had these problems right from the start, if you didn't buy on a separate hard drive, your installation files will be in your account at PG.. maybe a complete fresh installation using default settings would be a last resort

To expand on this: It is common when using Windows Audio (WASAPI) to see a message that "input and output devices are set to different sample rates". This is a message informing you that for audio recording to work, you will need to set your input and output devices to the same sample rate. This is done in the Windows control panel. For example: Here we can see that Windows Audio is selected as the audio driver format:  In the Windows control panel - sound settings, locate the input and output devices in turn and view Properties -> advanced settings:   Here you can see that the playback (output) sample rate is 44.1 khz, and the recording (input) sample rate is 48 khz. This is the source of the problem. Matching the sample rates will solve it and allow you to record audio.

Thanks. Useful to know. I get the message if I plug in my USB mic / headphones to do work for school as it seems to change the sample rate. Once I unplug it, the audio unit seems to put it back again.

Band-in-a-Box® - What People Are Saying...
Wow, check out the latest feedback from Band-in-a-Box® users!
"I have one song I've been torturing over to get the sound right for quite some time and I merely keyed in the chords and what BB generated is awesome. Just what I hoped that song would sound like. What had taken me months to get right (and couldn't), the program could do in about an hour - AMAZING!"
"Great Ear Training Exercises! And I love that that you can set the tempo to whatever you choose. It's great for learning a tune!"
"A very good and easy to use musical program!"
"It's amazingly easy to use! Write a song? No problem! Add background sound track to a video? No problem! Put notes on a staff and have BB make up a chord progression and tell what key you are in? No problem! Start with a chord progression and have BB make a melody line? No problem!"
"Still the best practice tool I have found, great for running lines, improvising over and really helpful for working on song writing ideas as well! Good for beginners, and the more musical skill and knowledge you have the more you will get out of the software."
"I create demo songs with Band-in-a-Box, it helps me to get my ideas across to my engineer!"
"Been using Band-in-a-Box for years. Outstanding product from a great company!"
"It's like buying a Musical History Jukebox. It comes with probably 3000 styles and is like hiring session musicians to play rhythm with you, they even have soloists! It introduces you to so many types of rhythms that you other wise would know nothing about. "
"Paul McCartney said you gotta have a great band behind you. Well, Band-in-a-Box is my band."
"It's as easy as typing in the chords, choosing your style, instruments, etc., and off you go! Learning the tune? You can slow it down while you work on it then speed it up. My favorite analogy is a good chess program, which will play at your speed and level and is eternally patient!"
"I love my Band in a box, it does so much! Besides all the RealTracks and song ideas, it's a great tool to stay sharp with your licks. Social distancing got you down? Can't jam with friends? Pick out any song and go to the mixer button, there you can mute any instrument that's playing so you can jump right in and play along!"
"I love it. I'm a drummer, and Band-in-a-Box really keeps me on my toes!"
"The DAW plugin is really great. Trust me on this. I use it with Studio One.
"This is how I've been able to gig solo for the past 20 years. Band-in-a-Box is the great equalizer for us none rhythm players."
"Wouldn't want to be without it! One of the best things I bought in my life. Simple as that."
"As a songwriter I really love to work with Band-in-a-Box. The only limitation is your own creativity."
"I've used Band-in-a-Box for 25 years and thanks to this program and the advice of PG Music staff I've written over 100 songs. It's great software and amazing help to me as a musician. CONGRATS!!!"
Thank you for all the amazing feedback!
