I bought it, haven't figured out how it works yet. Anyone using it, and could you provide clear instructions on what's needed to get it to work?

There are video tutorials. I'm trying to get my system to make the M4A files, and run the 'server' without the phone or pad but not able to get the files to generate.

I get wav files in the BB2go directory but no 'apple' files despite the latest Quicktime download.

I got it working on my iPhone on both my Intranet and over the Internet. In the BB2Go folder on my PC the song that was created shows as "Alabama2_Render.mP4" (style selected on iPhone). The videos were helpful to me on the setup plus I got some help from a post here. See my post "Question about iOS version of BiaB" last replied to on December 5th. Good luck.

Hi Sam,
This may help you but I don't know what sort of Router you are using.

You first have to set up your Router to allow Band-in-a-Box to "speak" to your computer.

There is a video tutorial here: Setup Network

Your Router may be different (mine was) but if you can follow the instructions it is pretty easy
(the worst part for me was finding out where my Router held the information, I found it under Application Sharing)

You then need to go to your Band-in-a-Box on your computer, select Window and at the bottom is the BB2Go folder selection.

This will open a new Window that will allow you to start the Band-in-a-Box Server.
Once you have set your Server to be on line you can test it with the Iphone,itouch,ipad App.

Go to the Iphone App and select File/Server and there you can connect. If all is well, you will be able to connect to the Server(my App connected without any problems, so if you have trouble you may have to call PG)

NOTE: You have to install the latest version of Apple Quicktime on your Computer to get the ability for Band-in-a-box to create MP4 files (I am talking using a PC here)

Then you can save some songs into the bb2go folder (it resides in your BB folder) then when you use your App on your iphone,itouch,ipad, and you are connected to the Band-in-a-Box Server you can Get the songs.

Now to save some time you can get Band-in-a-Box to generate the MP4 files prior to getting the song.

Just go to your Computers Band-in-a-Box select Window/BB2Go (prepare MP4 Files for the iphone)

In there you will be able to generate the MP4 file for your song/s.

The iphone,itouch,ipad App will now gust download the song (rather than having to generate it, which can take a little while)

Sorry for the long winded reply but there isn't an easy way to describe it..

Hope this helps

Best regards
Michee

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."
