Problem loading BB. C is solid state, D is hard drive. I want to load all into D and I can't get it to work, errors for everything, what do I need to do? Solid state is only 225 gigs, D is 2 terobytes. I have tried different things but can't get the program to work, any and all tips would be great.
You didn't mention what steps you actually took, so this is only a guess.
Presumably you are installing from a download, by running the setup program? If so, you should be able to nominate what drives you want everything installed to, something similar to this:
BIAB & RB2024 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones
That didn't work I keep getting exception errors. I have the 2020 hard drive, never had a problem before, this solid state hard drive screws everything up. With only 225 gigs on it you can't do crap. I even tried just the option one, same crap. Read all manual stuff but can't find what to do. I have always downloaded the whole thing every year with no problems, wish there wasn't a solid state drive!!!!!!!!!!
Seems like the issue is somewhere on top... Like permissions of some of kind.
Did you try a full factory reset? I would start there.
I do not suggest that you do, but if "reset to factory" did not work, I would do this:
1)Backup personal projects 3)Uninstall everything PG from internal drives. 4)Restart computer. 5) Install BIAB to the drive of of your choice. Not by copy+paste copying files, but installing them. Disconnect external drive(if that is what you use to install BIAB) Test. 6)to save some time for testing purposes, I would just install bare BIAB without RTs
The future may not look good with a small SSD C drive. I had a 250 Gig Samsung Pro ssd that I got fed up with and installed a one TB in it place.
There have been many programs that would not let me change drive numbers when downloading. Other than the space issue the SSD drive was super.
I don't have much download experience with BB but what I have has been without issue. All my computers have SSD drives.
Before more pulling you hair out, get someone who knows some stuff to remotely log on to your machine. Down Team Viewer for free. It is very easy to use.
PG Music has always been very helpful for me. Give them a call.
Best of luck,
Billy
New location, new environment, new music coming soon
Seize the moo-ment If you feel like you’ve herd all these cow puns before, you probably have deja-moo
I have built all my own computers since 1983 and I currently have two production machines running 256 GB SSD boot drives with no issues. I have other internal drives, so if you are careful where you install software and spend a little time every so often doing housekeeping, that size boot drive is fine for Windows 10.
BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus Studio 192, Presonus Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors
With a small ssd I would install the basic BIAB on it C: this is just a small install a few windows fonts and things. But chose D your 2Tb hard drive for your realdrums realstyles as this is the big bit of the programme .
Hey there critter! If you're still having issues, can you provide some examples of the error messages that you're getting during the install process and sharing them with us here so we can investigate this? You could also send screenshots in to support@pgmusic.com with a detailed description of the issue if that's easier for you than typing them out!

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
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."
