Placed order for the UltraPlusPAK April 1 at 17.00 CEST. UPS just came by today April 6. That´s less than TWO business-days (we´ve had four days easter-holidays) delivery US to SWE!!! I´m impressed, to say the least! Only downside - swedish toll/tax took $40, but then Sweden is woldleading when it comes to taxes.


BTW: What happens if I, for some reason, lose the contens on my BiaB-harddrive
Can I make a backup on another HD?

I always install it to my main drive C:\

Then I park the hard drive that it came on on the shelf.

Another plan would be to buy a bigger drive and copy it there and use that for songs etc.

There are issues with many computers having poor power to the device, so you have a double headed cable. On two of my computers that cable won't charge my blackberry, but will run the hard drive.

As nothing writes to the registry, the only part of the software that needs to be installed on your system are the fonts and plugins.

If I remember correctly from a previous thread, there are a couple of hidden files on the USB hard drive. Make sure you have enabled Windows to see hidden files before you copy everything over.

I found that if you copy the contents of the USB drive to a different drive and put it under its own sub-folder, then you can't install from that sub-folder. However, with XP and Vista, you can use the "subst" command to substitute a drive letter for that sub-folder and then install it. For Windows 7, the "subst" command wouldn't work for me, however. So instead I just "shared" the subfolder and then mapped a network drive to that sharename.

Thanks Carl,
Yes, you can backup the HD any way that you want - its not copy protected.


Have Fun!

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.

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."
