This has been a pet peeve of mine for a number of years now so I thought I would bring it up again. When working in BiaB the track labels may be something like harp, guitar 1, guitar 2, vibes, etc, but when I drag and drop them into my DAW the track labels return to their original names, i.e. bass, guitar, strings, etc. I would like to have the BiaB track labels transfer to the DAW.

Note I work on the MIDI side of BiaB.


I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

It has been a long conversation I have had with them over the last few years and in general the BIAB developers have ignored the request. I have shown them examples of file names that are 120 characters long. 90% of it is superfluous to the DAW.

The plugin (Adar) has embraced the request several years ago and transfers the short name or actual name of the label track with an RT #

+1 again and again
maybe if they create a folder for current Biab session in Drag n Drop folder this will allow for simple names same as SavedTracks does for the BBPlugin as at the moment the names are way to long and complexed.

I seem to recall that Jeff Pettit created a video demonstration of this annoying problem.

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.
