The messages indicate the RealDrums are on drive letter "F", which is generally an external drive. When you open Windows File Explorer, is the RealDrums storage drive still labeled "F"? Sometime Windows will assign a different drive letter to an external drive. This happens most often when you plug the storage drive into a different USB port than you have used in the past. +++ HERE +++ is an article that describes 3 different ways to permantly assign a drive letter to a removable storage on a computer using Windows 10.

thank you the suggestion Jim, but that is not likely the problem.
Drive C: is an SSD and I didn't want to fill it with the RT & RD (Audiophile)
hence Drive F: and it is an internal 3.5 inch HD
also this trouble is just detected with some styles that I was trying today.
thanks
RrR

Hello Roy,
In your program, if you go to RealDrums | RealDrums Preferences, under the custom folder location, what does it say for "Custom Drums folder [instead of ...]"? If the checkbox for "use a custom folder location for RealDrums" is checked, what's the path that has been specified? Also, which package for 2021 are you utilizing? On the F drive, can you tell us what the exact path is for bb? As well as the Drums folder?
Cheers,
Ember

Hello Ember, thanks for the help. custom folder location for RealDrums" is "F:\bb_Real\Drums\" RealDrum Picker after Rebuild reports = 723 items the (What do I Have) reports = RealDrums sets in F:\bb_Real\Drums\ : You have all of the RealDrums. (unless we've made some new ones) This is BIAB Win Version2021(835) Audiophile install the program path is C:\bb\ To recreate this error I load Style _CREAM.STY. Cream Slow Folk Ballad, followed by Generate and Play the error reported is Cannot load drum style, because this folder does not exist: F:\bb_Real\Drums\Silence [2021.835.0, 2021-07-14 7:38:48 AM] I cannot see where Silence is referenced. The style doesn't appear to include it. RrR Hello Roy,

Something that stands out to me is that it is in F:\bb_Real\Drums. Had you changed the names of your folders, or moved your folders around? Usually the folder path would be called F:\bb\Drums instead.
Best,
Chantelle

Hi thanks, I believe that I installed this in Jan 2021, I definitely made a choice to use C:\bb for the program and F:\bb_Real for the Real Tracks. I wanted to keep the 1.5 Tbyte off of Drive C:(the SSD). the name bb_Real was intentional as well to avoid confusion with the program folder. I am pretty sure that I have Not moved stuff around. It is a challenge to confirm when I installed Win 2021. Oh I have moved Songs around in another folder. This issue can be recreated with a new song. I have installed updates V814, v818, v822, v825, v829, v832 & v835 since January. Also purchased and installed xtra_styles_pak_11 & xpro_styles_pak_1 Most Styles have No problem. A few cough this error Cannot load drum style, because this folder does not exist: F:\bb_Real\Drums\Silence [2021.835.0, 2021-07-14 7:43:09 AM] What is a mystery to me is the Folder Silence. It is not listed on the Style in the Drum field and does not exist on drive F:\ Is there a configuration diagnostic that I could run against my systeM? I thought that Drums/ReBuild would identify config issues. thanks folks RrR Something that stands out to me is that it is in F:\bb_Real\Drums. Had you changed the names of your folders, or moved your folders around? Usually the folder path would be called F:\bb\Drums instead.

Update I have installed Win 2021 v838 and I am unable to reproduce this error.
Let's mark this resolved. Yes, I have installed Win 2021 v838 and find that the behaviour still remains with this error message. Odd however, the first try yielded no message, in the next session it has returned on a repeatable basis. Make a new song, enter 16 chords, change the style to _Cream, F4 to generate and play the song. Cannot load drum style, because this folder does not exist: F:\bb_Real\Drums\Silence [2021.838.0, 2021-07-17 10:46:27 AM]

Roy, you could open your original post, and mark it as Resolved (there's a button for that). This may assist others in the future, too.

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."
