Hello,

I recently upgraded from BIAB 2018 to 2021 (Windows 10). I've noticed the several styles in the selector that start with [RT n/a]. After trying several of them and being disappointed I think I understand correctly that:

[RT n/a] = RealTrack not available

Do I have that right? Did I miss an installation step? If not is there a way to hide these [RT n/a] styles?

Thank you,

Joe

Joe,

When you upgraded, which packaged did you go from and go to?

For example: ProPak 2018 to UltraPak 2021, etc.

Also, did you get any of the add-ons at purchase time such as the 49Pak?

Regards,
Noel

Hi Noel,

My original package was:

2018 BBP-I Band-in-a-Box Pro with RealBand Windows

The upgrade package I installed was:

2021 BUPS-I Band-in-a-Box Pro Upgrade with RealBand

These are the only two BIAB products I own and/or have installed.

Thank you,

Joe

Hi JustJoe.

The Pro-Pak is the absolute beginner Pak, but it perhaps could be more appropriately named.

The ProPak has 500+ Real Tracks
The Mega Pak has 800+ Real Tracks
The Ultra, Ultra+ and Audiophile have 3,100+ RealTracks

If you have the ProPak, then you definitely will be missing many RealTracks.

More info at this link.

There are many more Styles available in the larger Paks.

Thank you VideoTrack.

I understand that I have the intro package but I don't recall seeing styles that I couldn't use in the style picker until I upgraded to 2021 a couple days ago.

Is there a way to hide these unusable styles in the picker? Or quickly ID which ones are inappropriate for my installation and delete them from the C:\bb\Styles folder on the hard drive altogether? It seems they shouldn't have been installed in the first place.

I’m not at a computer but I thought there is a checkbox to not show N/A tracks.

Thanks. I found the filter settings Matt mentions in the OTHER pull down filter of the style picker.

> Show Styles with RealTracks** that are Found/Not Found [RT n/a]

This filter allows you to hide unusable styles from the list.

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.

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.

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."
