Band-in-a-Box 2010.5 and 101 New RealTracks are here! (July 2010)

There were over 50 cool new features added to Band-in-a-Box 2010, and now version 2010.5 adds 30 more! Band-in-a-Box 2010.5 has great new RealTracks features like enhanced pushes, the option to have Jazz chords play as triads or 7ths, and half-time / double-time settings. There are also enhancements to audio rendering and song entry.

Hi,

I got the BIAB 2010 MAC Ultra PlusPAK 160GB HD Version. I´ve upgraded to the new 2010.5 bb2010_5_update_build19, the RealDrums update realdrums1-29_update_july08-2010 and the RealTracks update realtracks1-82_update_july08-2010

Why must I get an extra HD-version in order to have all the new Styles, RealDrums and RealTrack. Can´t just get the downloadversion 2010 Summer PlusPAK in order to get all the new stuff?

Carl, same with me ....

In addition, I just ordered
UltraPlusPAK Upgrade from 2010 UltraPlusPAK
ELECTRONIC DELIVERY
but no download-links for the new realtracks are provided ... ??

Then noticed cheaper
2010 Summer PlusPAK for Mac here in the forum

Asked to change order to Summer PlusPAK - no reply yet ....

As you say, all we would need is a downloadable version of the 2010 Summer PlusPAK.

Please!

Best regards

Hi Carl,

You don't have to buy a new hard drive, the $99 SummerPlusPAK will get you the new RealTracks.

Robert, your links have been sent. Thanks for your patience.

Thanks

OK, thx. Just did. Guess the advantage getting the HD-version is you save downloadingtime which is considerable :-)

Attention!!! Problems downloading realtracks94 and realtracks97!!!!

I totaly agree with Robert. PGmusic handles all issues with GREAT support. I compare to Avid and Pro Tools which is a complete mess. Recently I order and paid via PayPal for an upgrage using theire webstore. All went well until I was going to recieve the new serialnember. Now my €221,15 are pending at PayPal and Avid can´t or wont do anything about it. Also this bloody iLok-contraption.....

http://www.airusersblog.com/home-page/2010/7/8/avid-store-take-care.html

I written on several FaceBooks and Twitter how well BIAB and PGmusic handles theire customers. I just can´t express how pleased I am with PGmusic!!!! Great job, guys!!!!

PS. Now please make these last two realtracks downloadable ;-)

...and I be your obedient server forever.

I see the link to purchase the new RealTracks, but I have the 1010.00 Audiophile external hard drive. Are these downloadable RealPAKs the lossless AIFF files? Otherwise, I'm back to having to upgrade.

Secondly, the page indicates that the requirements are BIAB 1010.5 or higher. Wouldn't that mean that I would have to upgrade to the new BIAB to purchase the additional RealTracks that already come with it?

Slightly confused, but what's new?

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."
