Hi!
I have much more Real Tacks on my hard drive than I can see in the real tracks picker window. Any idea? I pressed update and rebuild several times. Files are stored in a different location but I set the path correctly. I use BiaB Mac 2009.5
Any idea?
Thanks a lot
Elm

Hi Elm,
Check to see if there is another Real Tracks folder nested in your original RT folder. It will have the same name as your Real Tracks Folder. "Real Tracks". I keep my RT's on an external drive. When installing my RT's, the installer created another folder within my designated RT folder. All of my additional files went there. If they are there, drag them out to your original RT folder. Rebuild and you're done.
Hope this helps.
TakeCare
Bill

Hi all!
Pretty much the same problem, but my tracks ARE in the RT folder. Yet they does not appear in the RT picker window. And what´s more; when I enable the box "Show Real Tracks that are N/A" some of them appear but when I pick one I get this message; Real Tracks #(then a number) not found. Applications Band in a Box/(the name of the track) not found.
What is happening?!

For a RealTracks to work, there needs to be 2 things present:
#1. The folder in the RealTracks folder, e.g. /Applications/Band-in-a-Box/RealTracks/Sax, Tenor Jazz Swing 140 folder
#2. The ST2 file in the Soloists folder. e.g. /Applications/Band-in-a-Box/Soloists/RSax.st2
if the message is #1 not found, then you either don't have the RealTracks installed, or you haven't pointed correctly to the RealTracks folder in RealTracks - Settings dialog.
if #2, then the ST2 file must not be in your folder, and something went wrong with the install, and you should look on the hard drive for ST2 and XT2 files, and move them the Soloists folder.
Have Fun!

Hi Peter and thanks for helping me. Svar till:

Well, as I said; everything is there! About 10 GB of real tracks are in the real tracks folder, but BIAB do not find them. With real drums there isn´t a problem, all works fine.
Svar till:
if the message is #1 not found, then you either don't have the RealTracks installed, or you haven't pointed correctly to the RealTracks folder in RealTracks - Settings dialog.
And how do I "point correctly" to the real tracks folder?! Is it not enough just to choose a real track?!

- If your RealTracks folder is contained within the BB folder (the default), then it will be found automatically. If that is the case, you should delete (or rename) your /Band-in-a-Box/Preferences folder, and see if the problem is corrected.
- If you are using a custom RealTracks folder, on another drive for example, then you need to tell BB where it is, by pressing RealTracks button, then choosing RealTracks Settings. In that dialog, enter the folder location that yo uare using.
- If you are still haaving problerms, press the Rebuild button in the RealTracks Assign dialog, and you will see information about any errors in RealTracks installation. Copy and paste them here in this thread if that is the case.
Have Fun!

>>> About 10 GB of real tracks are in the real tracks folder, but BIAB do not find them.
If you have all of the RealTrascks installed, this would be sbout 90GB. So you have about 10% of the total RealTracks that are available. BB should find those 10% of course, but the other 90% are not present.
Have Fun!

Hi again, Peter! Well, the problem is solved, thank goodness! And that was an easy one...  I got confused about Real Tracks and Styles. Sorry about that! Sadly it took me a few days to discover that. In the window "Select Style Prototype Style", the drop-down menu at "Disk #" showed for some reason "#10 Rock/Pop". So all the styles I saw in the window were from disk #10, and that ain´t too many. When I turned it to "Show all styles disk" I got a whole bunch of styles and Real Tracks  The "missing" ones... Now, I`ve been fooling around a bit with BIAB, and must say that I`m highly impressed with it. In a few seconds I get a full orchestral accompaniment to my songs - and it sounds wonderful! It annoys me that I didn´t purchase BIAB 10 years ago. Thanks for all your efforts; I really appreciated that! Best Regards Amissima

Hi, Peter!
Thanks for your tips, but no relief :-(
Now I found out, it's just the real tracks of the brand new sets 72-77 I just purchased that do not appear in the real tracks picker. I even re-installed the files without any result. Are these sets 72-77 somehow incompatible with BiaB 2009.5 build 8?
Any other tip?
Thanks
Elm

Copy and paste them here in this thread if that is the case. The last statement fixed my brand new Pro setup, BIAB was auto-started before I had installed all the real tracks, so they weren't all showing in the style picker (less than 20 were showing, the bonus registration ones I think). I was trying to follow a tutorial and BLUGRAS style wasn't showing, I googled around a bit and finally found this solution. After rebuilding it's all good, 200 odd real styles showing including BLUGRAS. So thanks! And maybe my reply here helps someone else.

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."
