However When I execute this option in BIAB it stomps all over the existing "band" basically loading the new performances from Track 1 on down the mixer. My conga player is now a bassist My B3 player is now a bassist. My Drummer is a bassist. You get it
I expected it would perhaps use the unused utility tracks? Better yet allow me to save the wav files to the file system.
Any comments/workarounds to a more tedious 2-3 step generation process
You may want to consider posting in +++ Band-in-a-Box for Mac +++ forum section where your post will be viewed by more Mac users. A Mac user may be able to provide better feedback.
This forum section is more for PG Music's use. They use it to provide responses to frequently asked Sales questions.

I think that was all made before the Utility tracks were implemented. If you render the song down to a stereo wav less the bass then you can open another instance of Biab generate up the 7 bass tracks and load the stereo wav into the Audio track. You can then solo the Audio track and then solo each Bass track one at a time to find the one that fits best.
Right. A number of workaround exits. Tedious but doable. Might require saving multiple sgu's for multiple instruments. I could see the current implementation becoming increasingly annoying the more you use it.
Seems like PG Music might regard this "feature" as more of a bug. I can imagine other users might not want this behavior either. Actually, I can't think of anyone (perhaps a bassist in my example) who would want it to work in this manner.
Any PG Music officialdom monitoring this thread that might chime in?
Maybe not many users need the feature
As a programmer(C,C++,C#) for decades I chuckle that it only creates 6 tracks vice 7.
Yes, it all needs moving to the Utility tracks now, so if you have 7 empty Util tracks it will generate there. The other way is load the BBPlugin into an empty track and select multiriff then drag the chosen Plugin track into Biab, or manually generate the tracks in the Utilities.
That is the old version of the MultiRiffs feature, which was before Utility tracks were added to Band-in-a-Box. Here is a demonstration video on the feature: https://youtu.be/1akkEAxVy2o
But if you have the 2022 version, you can use the new MultiRiffs feature, which makes the new generations on the same track, and you can listen through them before deciding which on you wish to choose. This video goes over the new MultiRiffs feature, at 37:10: https://youtu.be/VlAyMFUAW2M
Thanks for the explanation. I do have the most current Mac version.
I watched the video. I'm after something a little different than what is presented.
I would like to generate multiple performances of an entire real track, create .wav files and save to the file system. I then use the 7 wav tracks to build a composite performance in my DAW. I use Logic Pro but I assume most DAW's support this comp folder metaphor.
Where I'm at now with BIAB to accomplish this objective: I use an N+1 step render,save process. N refers to the number of instruments you wish to render 7 performances for
First first create the basic band (Style + any additional instruments). Save the sgu. Render the wav & export to my daw Basically the "1" of the N+1 iteration.
I then use the generate7 feature and then create 7 performances. I render them to the file system en masse. Add to my Logic Project & off we go

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.

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."
