Re: Current Fixes Needed for 6.0.13 (Reaper) musocity 5 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box VST and Pro Tools/AAX DAW Plugin (Windows) Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Is this waiting for the mac version to be finished first before these fixes can be implemented ?? If things were all in one crossplatform these would be fixed by now and released on both versions at the same time, ... and maybe even a Linux version: Band in a Box for linux

The same here, Mario. The Arcturus library seems to be missing a lot of the common controls for sound design like ADSR, Filter freq/resonance, etc., but the samples are long and complex and the macros that are provided do a good job of altering the character or tenor of the sound. I'm going through a RIDICULOUSLY long Batch Resave for the Kirk Hunter Kinetic Percussion library at the moment so I can't tell you if the back end (spanner) of Kontakt is available to access additional deep tweaking. Arcturus is niche but I like the fact that the patches generally have a melodic component or undertone. It needs Kontakt 7. The fact that you have to hold down a key or keys for a while to get the whole sound reminds me of, among others, the Soundethers and Atom Hub libraries. Paj 8^)

Re: Falling Ezekiel's Storm 6 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Stunning production. I love the sound of that opening flute, which serves as a precursor for such a lovely tune. Once again, the synth voices are magnificent. I would think the voice is real if I didn't know.

Re: Fat Guy, a song done by Marty and me Bass Thumper Yesterday at 11:23 PM Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
A humorous treatment of a serious subject. But I can understand why this wouldn't be generally popular in our societies; due to an obesity epidemic going on. Sadly, and for obvious reasons, I can't say that I've ever seen an old fat person. Marty's bass was big and fat if I do say so and I liked the vocals. Overall, well done.

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."
