I've been using Band In A Box since the beginning. I think it's an amazing program for musicians, teachers and students. I teach music at a university and require my students to have it.
My issue with PG music is that BIAB does not feel like a Mac program. The transport and various function buttons are in un-Mac like places. The look of the program is un-Mac-like. The user interface is very clumsy and not smooth as opposed to most Mac music programs. There hasn't been a Mac upgrade for a few years. I know that there are many Mac users of BIAB who feel the same way I do. Please do a Mac overhaul to this fantastic program!

Peter has told us that they are working hard on the new Mac BIAB version and to expect a release sometime in the first quarter of 2008, so stay tuned.
That's about all we know at this point in time, other than Mac users have also been promised as many of the PC features as possible to implement.
Stay tuned to this website and forum for more info as it comes in.

excellent news
- of particular interest would be easy export to Garageband, and the ability to use garageband instruments

I'd also love to see midi importing capability, something available in the Windows versions for many years now!
Also, it's well into the first quarter of 2008, and am still awaiting word of an upcoming BIG Mac update.....

The previous entry was 3/10/08 and now " 'Tis Autumn". "Early Autumn". I had to switch to the Mac for stability problems 3 1/2 years ago and continually rue that day regarding BIAB. . The face of the PC program is better. Although I have electronic tuners, it was nice to have one on the screen. I would like to be able to edit the "favorites" window" . There was so much, I have suppressed much of what was not included in the Mac X OS.
Please, Good Doctor Peter, a really new and improved Mac version would be such a pleasant surprise for (the Holidays) the almost annual end-of year update.

I agree that an easy export MIDI to GarageBand or Logic would attract a lot of Mac users. GarageBand is good, but it can't do what BB does, i.e. generate chord progressions and solos in a matter of seconds. Then from GarageBand > MP3 or ACC > iTunes > iMovie or iPhoto. Would be a great way to make background music for home videos in iMovie or slide shows in iPhoto.

I´m using BIAB 2008 on a Mac with Windows XP and Parallels virtualisation software. Works a dream. Admittedly it´s the only application I still need Windows for, but the improvements that have gone into BIAB on Windows over BIAB 12 makes it worth it.
humbug; I do exactly what you want: generate midi files in BIAB 2008 that I import into GarageBand or Logic Pro for further development.

Hello, T. Tenmann,
I'm a mac user and really want to get BIAB, but with RealTracks, because am not too keen on midi. I have a macbook with 2GB of ram, yet have never tried Parrelles or Fusion, my question is do you need to have Windows as well as either of these to run a BIAB 2009 for example? Sorry if that seems a stupid question, but have no idea concerning non mac stuff. That would mean having to buy windows xp as well I take it, I ask because that's becoming a pricey option for only one program, though I just can't get my mind around using midi tracks, my purpose is just practicing jazz. Thanks a heap for any input

Hey Scottelwood
Yes - you will need to have a copy of Windows as well as Parallels or Fusion to run BIAB 2009.
Just so you know, I know other people have reported success with the windows emulating programs like Fusion and Parallels but I found BIAB to be really 'glitchy' when using these programs.
I'm still weighing up whether to just BOotcamp my Macbook or wait for the new Mac version.
Hope that helps.
