Ok, the new styles are labelled Xtra Pack 10 - found _INDIEHH, _TEXAS, etc after playing around some more.

Not quite resolved, I'd like to see them labelled correctly :-)




----------

Hi,

I purchased and installed XPAK11 - but the styles are not showing up in the Style Picker. Rebuild indexes slow/fast, resinstalled etc.

What I have:
- Ultrapack 2021, latest updates
- styles exist in the Styles folder
- 2 updates to RealTracks, dates 28/4
- I don't see any updates to RealDrums (the latest ones are all dates 14/4)
- XPAK11 is displayed in 'What updates do I have'

Even if I search in the Style picker for _TEXAS, it doesn't appear.

Have I missed something? Never happened before, I have all XPAKS and used BIAB for many many years....

Thanks
Paul

Paul,

You need to install the latest update

https://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm#833

If you don’t, xtra styles set 11 will still show up and work fine, but be labelled as xtra set 10.


Have Fun!

Hi Peter,

many thanks for the prompt reply. I was on version 832 which I downloaded on 27/4, completely missed 833 which was available on 29/4. Ok, should have checked!!

I did check: The latest release update on the website is from 26/4.... that's probably why I missed it, the 29/4 update is only about XPAK11. No news about the v833 update.

All good now, I can see the styles.

Cheers, Paul

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."
