Hello PG Music Forums! Today I have a great tip I want to share with you in Band-in-a-Box. It comes up a fair bit during technical support hours and I figured I would share this simple trick that resolves a reasonable amount of issues. Sometimes when working on projects it is quite common for settings to be changed and forgotten about, which can cause some undesirable behavior in your session. If you ever encounter this, you can use a simple feature called "Return to Factory settings" Found under Options>Return to Factory settings. Then you want to select "Most". Before it changes it will ask you to save a backup, so you can always revert back to your previous settings. You can view a screenshot of the feature here: http://imgur.com/a/X7dtwHope this helps!
Cheers, Joe

Hope this helps! Indeed, cool.That is a great share. There are so many fantastic features in Mac's 2016 BinaB that to some extent they are rather overwhelming. So for me it's very helpful when you post a heads up info. And of course the screen shot shows what to look for.

You're welcome!
Another great trick is if you ever run Band-in-a-Box and you come across error messages that say "Access violation" try running the program with admin privileges
In the Band-in-a-Box folder (C:\Band-in-a-Box), right-click on bbw.exe and select Properties. In the window that appears, click on the Compatibility tab, check the box marked "Run this program as an administrator", and click Ok.
Cheers, Joe

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."
