OP Brian Cadoret Journeyman Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 417 Jersey Channel Islands	Hi, I've added a RealDrums style which includes 7 drum stems onto a utility track. They show up as individual tracks in the VST plugin. I render the tracks and transfer the tracks into my DAW so I can mix the levels. Each track unfortunately is playing the full kit not the individual stems. Is this a bug? Brian Cadoret BIAB 2024 Pro with BIAB2023 UltraPAK build 1111. Samplitude Pro X4 Suite.

However, if you are hearing identical tracks of all stems at full volume then that is indeed a bug. Could you provide a few more details like which RealDrums you are using and the style that you are generating? It would be great if you could provide exact steps for me to follow to reproduce this problem. Thank you! Adar

The second track has been rendered to a new wav file stored in C:\bb\BBPlugin\SavedTracks that can be moved to your Reaper project folder. The first way on the top track is the best way as you will never loose the files and they are always in \bb\Drums and \bb\RealTracks, no wav files are created to fill up the hard drive or get lost. https://stash.reaper.fm/u/ReaTrak (Scripts for Biab Reaper) Open SGU in Reaper Instantly

OP Brian Cadoret Journeyman Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 417 Jersey Channel Islands	Hi Adar, Update to this bug. I've opened the standalone BBPlugin and added various RealDrum stems onto a Utility Track. I render the utility track wav's in the plugin and then play, all tracks in the standalone plugin play the full mix rather than individual stems. The same happens when I drag the separate wav's from the utilty tracks to the DAW. Each track in the DAW is playing the full mix of the drums.

I was just opening a new instance of the BBPlugin going straight to the Utility section, adding drum stems and generating only the Utiility tracks. All good now thanks.

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

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
