Problem Using Utility tracks and RealTrack substitution.... #635519 01/10/21 06:30 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

I took a finished song that I had and moved a RealTrack from the Strings track (MIDI ch.6) to Utility Track #1. No problem there as the program converted the RT to audio on the Utility track. The song plays fine using the audio on Utility #1. Then I went back to the original Strings track (MIDI ch.6) and tried to substitute a new RealTrack on that track. The new RT shows on the track and it looks like I can regenerate it. It's not frozen or muted but there is no sound, even when soloed, and the description is grayed out on the mixer. What am I doing wrong?

I think it was something about the style overriding my substitution. This was long before Utility Tracks. I have no idea if my guess is correct but if it helps someone who might be able to test it, very good. I plan to try your experiment tonight if no one else has solved it by then.

Rather than leaving all tracks selected in the transfer dropdown, it appears that you have to be very specific as to the track you want to move in the "include channels" even if the other tracks are grayed out.

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.
