TDay Newbie Joined: Jul 2022 Posts: 2 Minnesota	I recently bought BIAB Pro for my Windows computer and MegaPAK for my Mac Pro. I'm having problems finding and using Real Tracks on both machines, especially the Mac. I'm wondering what the "What Band in a Box Add-ons Do I have?" information is supposed to mean. The list of "These add-ons are not found" in the RealTracks, RealDrums, and MIDI SuperTracks window is considerably larger than the "found" windows. Is that supposed to be useful information or is it just telling me what I didn't buy? If it's the 2nd, is there some kind of feature that would check what I should have against what I actually have? T.W Day BIAB 2022 MegaPAK running on a Mac Pro 5.1 (OSX 10.13.6, Logic Pro 10.4.8, and Pro Tools 11) & BIAB Pro running on an HP laptop (Windows 11 Pro)

It is not specific to the kind of PAK you have because you could have the Pro or MegaPAK and have purchased additional add-ons to go with it. We suggest contacting us directly either through live chat or email and we can then look into your account and check if you have everything that you should installed. Best, Chantelle

User Video: Band-in-a-Box® + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!

Since AI is now readily available online as a resource for many things, we recently put together and shared a video where we demonstrated how to create a song using Band-in-a-Box®, ChatGPT, and Synth V; we've also shared a Bob Doyle Media video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band in A Box, showing how they utilize AI for their song projects. Now it's time to share Henry's video, Band-in-a-Box + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!, where he demonstrates how to use ChatGPT and Band-in-a-Box to whip a song project together in only 3-4 hours.

The Bob Doyle Media YouTube channel is known for demonstrating how you can creatively incorporate AI into your projects - from your song projects to avatar building to face swapping, and more!

His latest video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box, he explains in detail how you can use the Melodist feature in Band-in-a-Box with ACE Studio. Follow along as he goes from "nothing" to "something" with his Band-in-a-Box MIDI Melodist track, using ACE Studio to turn it into a vocal track (or tracks, you'll see) by adding lyrics for those notes that will trigger some amazing AI vocals!
