So far I'm loving it. As a multi-genre musician, this thing is PERFECT!
I am wondering a couple of thing though.
1. I got the UltraPak but when I place the arrow over Category/Jazz and so on I get this
UltraPak=1,919 Found=1,799
Other categories show similar messages.
2. Is there a comprehensive course somewhere that I can take since we're still in a hybrid lockdown mode here in NYC? So far I'm picking it up pretty well but I feel like I might be missing some great handy feature just because nobody's pointed them out to me.
Thank you all.
Pete
Tolerance is just not enough. Love is the only thing that will defeat hatred.
I’m not at a computer, but I wonder if the maximum number might include separate purchase items that are offered every so often. These are called Bonus and Xtra Paks
We will figure it out.

Hola Pete,
I also have the same UltraPak as you, however after 20+ years I have accumulated lots of the Bonus and Xtra Paks that Matt referred to. One can drive them selves crazy trying to reconcile all these thousands of styles. One think you can do... Go onto the main screen, select - "Help-What add-ons do I have" and see if that identifies any problems with your install. My guess is everything is as it should be.
NOTE: Just for full transparency, I did not update my styles with version 2021 so none of them at included. But that is another story.
wow. i had a feeling this would be a welcoming and helpful community. Welp. I have a little homework to do. I can't tell you how many hours of work BiaB has saved me.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!

You solved it before I could check. Your results are normal. The Andy Laverne materials were a one-time special purchase.
Actually, although I have almost everything from almost thirty years, I don’t have that, either. Let me find out if perhaps we can fix this. But for now, you have far more than enough to have a lot of fun!

Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!
Download and install this to your RealBand 2024 for updated print options, streamlined loading and saving of .SGU & MGU (BB) files, and to add a number of program adjustments that address user-reported bugs and concerns.
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.
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."
