much as i love RB it seems to have occasional hissy fits when it will crash a couple of times in quick succession and then behave for months.
i know i can save prefences in BIAB but can i do the same in RB? can't find an option. resetting takes seconds as its so simple but just wondered.............

Bob. I use realband/biab/reaper combo to do songs. Frankly i dont bother with save preferences features built into a piece of software.. i save my prefs as custom templates i create.
THUS in rb i create new…then set up my settings then save as template.seq ie.. For example names i might use might be ROCKER.SEQ or BALLAD.SEQ..cos a rocker might have different settings to a ballad.
Or TEMPLATE.SEQ or whatever i want. ..thus in your case you could call BOBSTEMPLATE1.SEQ. or TWVMIDITENAUD.SEQ meaning a special Template you created with …basically twelve midi and ten audio traks...whatever floats your boat naming Convention as allowed by win.
above gives me control over settings etc. essentially my custom templates are blank seq's containing only settings/prefs.
Best/hth om

In the event of an RB crash, when it reboots it asks if you want to reset settings (usually) .. simply saying no to this one step means you don't have to redo them.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Hi: My RB is temperamental at times too. (Half the time I think it's not purely RB at fault, but partly because Windows is trying to keep track of every breath I take). After a few mishaps, I built and saved a .SEQ file called RB Prefs with completely blank tracks and my Options/Prefs settings as selected in RB, not BiaB. As suggested above, after a crash I ignore the 'safely open / reset' suggestion. First thing I do is open my RB Prefs.SEQ file, save it again (despite having done nothing to change it). RB then seems happy enough, so I get back to the composition I was working on when the crash happened. Seems to pacify the beast and only takes 5 seconds to perform after reopening RB on the heels of a technical hiccup or belch.

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."
