I check my "What add-ons do I have" option now and then and recently saw that I didn't have Extra Styles PAK 12, so I went ahead and bought it and installed it. When I check the add-ons now, BIAB tells me that there's absolutely nothing that I don't have (I have everything in every section, including Realtracks). And yet, when I select some of those PAK 12 styles, BIAB fails to find some of the Realtracks.

Are the style PAKs released ahead of their corresponding Realtrack sets or something like that? It seems odd that I should be sold style PAK sets that require Realtracks that don't even exist yet.

Example, style _OXEYE and _SHASTRA are both missing Realtrack 3096, and _TUNDRA is missing Realtrack 3093.

Maybe reinstall the latest update because for me everything is there.

For the 1st problem see below:

Hi dr_t, what size PAK do you have? The Xtra Styles PAKs are only compatible with the UltraPAK or higher because they need RealTracks that are in these PAKs. If you do have the UltraPAK or higher, then re-installing your RealTracks would fix this issue.

Hi Chantelle,

I have UltraPAK+... I'll re-install them all and let you know if that fixes it.

Thanks

Hi Chantelle,

Re-downloading and re-installing the RealTracks 206-328 package has completely resolved this for me.

Many thanks!

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."
