Hello,
I'm pretty new to BiB 2021 and experimenting a lot to learn. I am using both the stand alone version and the vst plugin in Cubase. I have tried to find a solution for this, but so far without success.

I have a song that I made using a style after that I've added some extra Realtracks and changed some. Now I want to "reset" the song back to the original style without the added/changed tracks. I haven't found a way to do this. Anyone know how to do this in the best way?

If you click on the first chord then ctrl+c
File > New
ctrl+shift+v
should revert to the style tracks.

Firstly, Welcome.

To go back to the original style, can't you just open the StylePicker and choose the original style? Or did you modify and save the modified style?

No, If I go to the style picker and choose the style, added and changed tracks in the song remains. The style is not changed. I have tried to erase the tracks, but when i generate the song the tracks reappears int the tracklist.

<< I haven't found a way to do this. Anyone know how to do this in the best way? >>

Welcome to the forum. There is a 'best way' but it may not help you with this particular project at this point.

The best way to move back to an earlier rendition of a BIAB project is to do 'Save as' saves of your project every stage prior to making big additions, edits, chord changes, adding additional tracks, etc. This will create multiple SGU files of your project at the specific stage of the song project at that moment. SGU files are very small so disk space will never be an issue and clearly naming these saves in a manner where they are organized so you will instantly know by the descriptive name, where they fit into your main project.

Do these tracks still contain the instrument data or are they just blank tracks?

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!

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.

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."
