Hello everybody,

I bought BIAB 3 days ago and I am completely lost.

The software tells me I have the realtracks "6 - All metal" set installed, but when I want to load the guitar realtracks from this set (RealTracks -> RealTrack Pickers), I am unable to find the guitars, there is only 2 bass #387 and #388 from set 6!

Help / tutorial did not allow me to find the solution

Thank you for your help.

Maxime

Welcome to the forums.

Which BiaB Pak did you purchase (Pro, Mega, Ultra etc)?

Try two things:

In the RealTracks picker make sure you press the Show All button and also the Rebuild and Fix button.

Thanks for the interest.

Yes I've done it, it tells me "no files RealTracks XT2/ST2 missing. No action" (my translate!)

Maybe your computer is not looking in the correct location (?)
In your Preferences area you may need to select the correct folder where they can be found.
Are you using the external drive, or did you install the Realtracks to an internal drive?

Sorry,

I haven't seen the 2 answers! So:

I bought the pro pack, but the soft himself tells me the RealPAck6 has been found!

Wait... There is a button on the corner down left: "display unavailable realtracks" (my transltate). When I click on it, I see all the realtracks from the realtracks "6 - All metal".. So I have not it? Why do I have 2 tracks on the 12 form the set??

I think that you will find that the pro Pak only has two metal tracks.
Unfortunately the name 'Pro' is a little misleading, it is actually the 'entry level' or 'Essentials' Pak.

According to PG Music web site, the 'Pro' Pak has these two metal tracks:

OK I knew Pro was an entry Level, this is a test for me.

So the 2 bass realtracks include in the pro version are from the realtracks "6 - All metal". BIAB see them, that's why he tells me they are installed, but he doesn't kknow (me neither!!!) that the set is not complet!!!

We could admit that it is confusing when we do not know the software!

Thanks to all of you.

Hi there Xime78!

The Pro comes with something we refer to as RealCombos. RealCombos are included in the Pro and MegaPAK packages, because those packages don't have the complete set of currently available RealTracks instruments. Essentially, RealCombos allow you to hear SOME full bands of RealTracks without having to get the largest Band-in-a-Box package. For example, the "Jazz Swing 140" RealCombo includes 5 instruments (Bass, Piano, Guitar, Sax, and Drums) from various RealTracks Sets that all play at a medium swing tempo.

You can find the full list of what comes in the Pro version at the links below:

Windows: https://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.pro.htm
Mac: https://www.pgmusic.com/bbmac.packages.pro.htm

We hope this clarifies!


Cheers,
Ember

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!

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."
