All:

Brand new user with the UltraPAK. I've used the PG Music Download Manager to download and install all UltraPAK content. The issue is that no matter how many times I click Install, or even if I go directly to the installer on my hard drive, the Download Manager *does not* think RealTracks Sets 315-319 is installed. I'm at a loss. I'm running the program and installer as Administrator on Windows 10.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hey rmg471,

Could you go to Help | About Band-in-a-Box and check the 3 digits in brackets beside the year version? This will be the build you are running.

Presuming you are on a 2020 Band-in-a-Box, if you're build is below 724 you'll want to update to that. Below is the link you can use to download. Do this, and then check again in your Download Manager. Does this rectify the issue?

Cheers,
Deryk

I'm looking forward to the outcome on this one. I had the exact same problem with the same set of RealTracks with the UltraPack back in 2019 after upgrading from the Pro version, and I had tried repeatedly to get it installed and showing in the download manager without success but I had tried it again about a month ago by manually running the installer for that set (which I had before), and it finally showed up. It was not a cosmetic error either - the RealTracks really weren't there.

I have not been able to determine why it does not think 315-319 are installed yet, but I *have* determined that on build 724, Windows 10, the file "realtracks324-328.exe" does not install properly. It causes the following errors in the RealTracks Preferences -> Verify button:

This is fixed now.

There were some conflicts with older st2's that are fixed in the Band-in-a-Box patch - install the build 724 patch. You don't need to re-download/install realtracks324-328.

Re: RichOnStage,

I think I understand what happened. Could you please download individual Realtracks set 328 again, and this should fix it the problem. Also, to be complete you could also delete RVoc0011 through RVoc0016 from the bb/Soloists folder

Andrew, I did what you suggested. I thank you for replying. The problem still exists. Now it pops up with an error that the files are no longer in the "Soloist" folder. Specifically RV0010st2

It sounds like you may have accidentally deleted RVoc0010.st2. You can run the realtracks328 installer again to get it back...

OK...I will give it a try. Will let you know. Should I be removing the ST2 or the XT2 files or both from Soloists?
Thanks so much!

ST2 and XT2 of the same name. Just 11-16.

Now it states, "There are 8 sets of xt2/st2 missing from your bb/soloist folder. You should look elsewhere for these missing files. UGH!

What is an example of one of the eight? Sort by name in the RT Picker, it will say something like "N/A (xxx.st2 not found)"

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."
