Know this has been covered before however,,,,

Have set pathways; Options>Preferences>Song Generation>Paths for Band-in-a-box & RealBand.

Have latest updates

Do not have ASIO but I do have MME

Have 2010 version.

Last time RB it crashed and I reopened it said "do you want your default settings reinstalled" however there is no input driver listed ???
Could this be the problem and how do I get an input driver.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Larry,

You'll only have a MIDI input driver if you have a MIDI device like a keyboard that inputs MIDI. If you don't have a device like this, you don't need a driver for one, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Are you actually importing the Band-in-a-Box song, or just opening it in RealBand through File - Open?

Do you get any error messages?

Hi Kent:

Opening the MGU file in Real Band. After I end the progam (Crtl, atl, delete, there is no error message.) If I convert the same file to wave, it opens just fine in RB.

Do you have this problem with every song, or just one in particular?

If it's one specific tune, can you send it to support@pgmusic.com so I can check it out?

Thanks

Hi again, Larry,

Could we please have details on your computer? Some questions that spring to mind are...

1. Is your computer a laptop or desktop?
2. What is its processing power?
3. How much RAM do you have?
4. What is your operating system?
5. What soundcard do you use?
6. Are you running BIAB/RB from the external hard-drive or an internal hard-drive?
7. If using an internal hard-drive, What size is it and how much available space does it have?

I know that you said that you have all the latest updates, but one other thing I'd double-check in Realband is Help>>About Realband to verify that you have version 2010 (4). The reason that I suggest this is because it might be that the update didn't take. The problem that you're experiencing reminds me of some posts a few months back with Realband ver. 2010 (2) isssues.

Regards,
Noel

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."
