Hello people.

I've just bought UltraPak 2024. I've been a customer since 2013 and have collected a huge amount of tracks. PG Music do a good job of showing off all their different styles they add each year including the Extra Styles Paks etc. However, once installed they seem to get lost in an ever increasing collection of tracks and I never seem to be able to find them. I know if I use the style picker and search through - say country tracks - on the right you can see which pack they come from but if I just wanted to list the realtracks from #426 onwards how can I do that? Say I wanted to just list the "2024 Free Bonus PAK" or the "2024 49-PAK" where would I go just to listen to them only?

Thanks in advance.

[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]You needto use the "pickers" with filtering to find all that stuff and more. For example here are the styles form the V2024. You need to be creative at times to get the right filtering. For example show me the Styles which have only specific RTs. It should be doable.

Hi Paul,

To find the Realtracks specific to 2024, go to the Realtrack Picker or Multilibrary Picker (Realtracks) and sort by "Set". RTs will then be listed according to which set they belong to. If you want a spreadsheet of that list, below is an Excel document that I've just created. Realtracks listed as being from set 800 are from bonus packs. I don't know for sure but I'm guessing that the RTs with numbers in the 4000s apply to this year.

I also find the Realtracks section of PG Music's sales site useful for reference material.

https://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.222newrealtracks.htm

In Stylepicker If you are looking for what styles came with 2024, simply go to the filter "Other | Show 2024 (newest styles only". There is also another filter under the "Other" menu that allows a user to filter styles by specific Realtrack Set number.

Hope this helps.

Paul, just clarifying. You said you just bought UltraPak 2023. Did you mean to say 2024? Makes all the difference in the above answers.

Edit menu Multipicker, or F7. That will give you the multipicker window shown above in 2024. It is not accessed with the Style button.


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

Thanks, you've answered my query. I was clicking the style picker and getting the usual layout, not the one pictured.

Dispite my pleas to remove the old pickers once the new MultiPicker was introduced, that is just not how PGM operates. So the old stays right there. You fell into its trap. You may have been the first but you won't be the last.

Paul,

I don't know if you've watched the below video. If you haven't, it's worthwhile taking 8 minutes to have a look through. The video was created by PG Music and covers the new features of 2024.

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."
