Hi, I am a newbie to BIAB and RB. 1. I have a song in RB containing MIDI and Real Tracks 2. Was intending to save as .mp4 3. the Rendering pop-up shows up, and the rendering seems to complete 4. No .mp4 file is generated
What version of the programs and what Operating System? Some Windows machines won't write mp4 and just read them
You may need to install a codec that can 'write' mp4 format. Quiktime or K-Lite would likely work as a guess /as always, scan any download before installing and watch every screen during the install to make sure you don't unintentionally install something else with it
I recently built a new machine and when I try to save as MP4 I get a yellow warning box during the process (see below)
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Would appreciate the help, Thank you, Martin
Do you (or did you) mean to say Mp3? Mp4 is a video/audio container. Unless you wanted a video (doesn't sound like you did), it would be an odd choice. That MIGHT be why no .mp4 file was made, but I can't hazard a guess as to why exactly.
I'm a Windows user myself but I believe the native compressed audio file format for Mac is MP4. It is the equivalent of a wma file in the Windows world. I'm pretty sure the compressed Band-in-a-Box for Mac RealTracks are saved in the MP4 file format and the uncompressed RealTracks are AIF.
I'm sure a Mac user will chime in to confirm or deny.
I kinda thought that was the case, Jim. Seems like I've heard that along the way about Mac files. But he ID'd as using Windows 8.1. New to BIAB and RB...maybe new to encoding audio period? Worth a shot.
But we can dream my friend. What could be better than introducing another person to Band-in-a-Box? If not before then after such a kind gesture you would surely have a friend for life!

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.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
