I’m trying to resolve my problem of Band-in-a-Box 2023 upgrade not finding all the RealTracks on an external drive. Even when using the Rebuild function several times and setting the location preferences manually, the “n/a” keeps popping up.
Even though 3373 RealTracks are there according to the Rebuild pop-up window, the Help function claims that only 14% of available RealTracks are found.
I didn’t have this problem with my versions from 2021 and 2019, so what am I missing?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Unless you install new styles or change your folder locations, you only need to rebuild one time from the StylePicker window (Fast rebuild) - this rebuilds everything - Styles, Drums, RealTracks, etc. Additional rebuilds will not change anything.
If you get a 'RealTracks not found' message, look at the RT# in the message. Most likely if you determine why one RT is missing, it will be the same reason for all of them. If you want to check a flash message that happened previously, you can see it in the flash message log file (type 'log' and press Enter as a shortcut).
For example, say you play _TANGO.STY and the message says that RT #2642 is not found, which is "Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Tango Ev 100". Open the RealTracks Picker (not StylePicker), and select the checkbox at the bottom "Show N/A..." Locate RT#2642 and you can determine what is causing it not to be found.
- If it says "N/A [RT Folder]" that means that it can't find the "Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Tango Ev 100" folder in your RealTracks folder. This is most likely a problem with a custom RealTracks folder location pointing to the wrong folder.
- If it says "N/A [ST2...]" that means that it can't find the .ST2 file for RT2642 in the /Applications/Band-in-a-Box/Soloists folder. This means you must be running Band-in-a-Box from a different Band-in-a-Box folder than you installed that RT to.
- If it just says "N/A" then neither .ST2 or RT folder can be found, which means the RT isn't installed at all.
You might find that all the RealTracks have the same problem, or if it's just some, sort by Set# in the RT Picker to see if there's a range of RT Sets that is affected
Let us know what you find and we could suggest the best solution. Also, I'm assuming this is a 2023 UltraPAK download install but you are using an external BiaB hard drive from a previous version?

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
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.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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.

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."
