Are you running Band-in-a-Box from your computer internal drive or from the external Band-in-a-Box drive?
If you're using the external Band-in-a-Box drive do you always plug it into the same USB port of your computer? The external hard drive should be assigned a permanent drive letter. Here's how to assign a drive letter in Disk Management:
Right-click the drive you would like to change. Click Change Drive Letter and Paths. Click Add. Click the letter you want to use. Click OK.
In the plugin, click on the "Preferences" button or navigate to File > Preferences to open the Preferences window. Select "Folder Locations" Visually verify the folder locations are correct or select the "Find Folders" button.
In addition to Jim's instructions, after changing the folder paths you will need to open the Style Picker and click the Rebuild button at the bottom. A Fast rebuild should be okay. If the folder paths are already correct then a Rebuild may still help as well.
Glad to read your issue is solved. What fix worked?

Hi all. The fix for me was:Run the BIAB Vst app in your DAW .Select any style then do a rebuild wait untill completed then press OK. I thought having run a rebuild when running BIAB for the first time would have worked for the Vst plugin,but not for me. BTW Im running BIAB direct from the Audiophile harddrive which shows up as my D:drive which I never change and the Vst plugin preferences recognised and verified this. So the rebuild within the Vst plugin solved my problem. Hope this all makes sense. Back to making music.
Thx All

The plugin version and the main version are two separate programs once installed, so they require their own Rebuilds. It is the same with RealBand if you use that too.
Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!

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.

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
