** Completely redid this thread and post, because I have solved the initial issue, but realized there is a bigger problem. **
I have the RealTracks installed on a separate drive. I have pointed BIAB to that location for both RealDrums and RealTracks. However, BIAB still does not pick it up. Says all the .ST2 files are missing. I literally just reinstalled the RealTracks... so what happened? Anyone have a solution to this?

When you pointed BIAB to the location for the Realtracks and Realdrums, did you use the full path for each for the folders? For example, the image below shows the full path for the Realtracks on my USB drive. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=28570&filename=realtracks path setting 2024.jpg) For my system, the full path for the Realdrums is "f:\bb\Drums". Also, after you updated the paths, did you "Rebuild" Stylepicker to check that all the Realtracks and Realdrums are located? If you have BIAB 2024, the Rebuild function is found in Stylepicker just beneath the "Clear" button. In older versions of BIAB, Rebuild is down the bottom of the Stylepicker window. --Noel

I'll try fully reinstalling BIAB next, because that did not work.

For a RealTracks to be "found" it needs to have the folder in the "RealTracks" folder location with the audio (.wma) files, and it also needs to have an .ST2 file in the Soloists folder in your Band-in-a-Box folder. If you installed from a download, each RealTracks installer includes both the .ST2 files and the RealTracks audio files.
You said you just installed the RealTracks. Run one of the installers again and look at what the folder locations are at the beginning of the installer wizard. Or, if you used the Install Manager just run the install manager and look at what the folders are there. Find the "Band-in-a-Box folder" This is where the .ST2 files are installed. If the Band-in-a-Box folder is C:\bb, then the .ST2 files will be in C:\bb\Soloists\. The Band-in-a-Box executable will be C:\bb\bbw64.exe.

Looking up your account, it seems you have Band-in-a-Box 2022 Pro for Mac - is that what you're using? ** Completely redid this thread and post, because I have solved the initial issue, but realized there is a bigger problem. **
I have the RealTracks installed on a separate drive. I have pointed BIAB to that location for both RealDrums and RealTracks. However, BIAB still does not pick it up. Says all the .ST2 files are missing. I literally just reinstalled the RealTracks... so what happened? Anyone have a solution to this? It depends on what you mean by "installed" - did you use the Download & Install Manager, or manually install, or copy the RealTracks folders from a previous install? Using the Install Manager should get all the files installed to the correct places, however if you downloaded and installed manually then there's a little bit of a "procedure" to do a split install - here's a tutorial: If you copied the RealTracks folder from a previous installation, then that wouldn't have installed the Soloists files which are necessary for BIAB to work (not to mention that the RealTrack installers also contain styles, demo files, and other necessary things). You would need to completely reinstall the RealTracks, either using the Install Manager or by following the tutorial video - but using the install manager is MUCH easier. In your Band-in-a-Box folder (not in the Realtracks or Drums folders) there should be a folder called Soloists - for a 2022 Pro you should have 800 or so files in there (though if you've upgraded BIAB since 2022 there may be over 6000 files here). If you don't have those files, then that will cause the RealTracks to not work - please check that and let us know.
