Lots of problems with this release. In fact, many more then with the 2012.5 release.

OK Here we go. Time to get ready for patches so soon after the release.

1. Pick midi supertracks MST05 - Entire middle area is blank, no text shows up at all.
2. Pick realtrack set RT175 and click Load Song Demo on _tblzras - I get realdrums not found (style) [BluesRockEv8ths^1-SDStk,snr].
3. Also there are no memo's available for all 4 substyles for RT175. Had this problem in 2012-5 and PG had to send out a quick patch to fix it.
4. Pick realtrack set RT176 - No memo's available.
5. Pick realtrack set RT177 - No memo's available. Also the title on song _guarpsh is _GUARPSH where as the firt 2 have normal titles showing in the title box.
6. Pick realtrack set RT182 - No memo's available.
7. Pick realtrack set RT183 - No memo's available.
8. Pick realtrack set RT184 - No memo's available. Some songs show as UNTITLED
9. Pick realtrack set RT185 - No memo's available. Some songs show as UNTITLED
10. Pick realtrack set RT186 - _cpopsaj says it is All Realtracks but the song title box shows Solo-Acc. CountryPopJohn Piano MIDI SuperTracks Demo BUT when you play the song, the BASS and DRUM midi buttons are YELLOW indicating these are NOT Realmidi.
11. On the 16 PAK Addon which is extra, the bonus RT Bonus 2 [Cntry Shuf} [0] - the entire text area is blank.
12. At the bottom of my style picker, I also have Country [Campfire] which to no have any load demo song choices. These would be from the Band Realstyles update?
13. At the bottom of my style picker, I also have Country [EeesntialCountryRS] which to no have any load demo song choices. These would be from the Band Realstyles update?

Hi jc,

Thanks.

It looks like most of those are referring to some memos missing on some song demos (or a song demo being called "Untitled". As you know, that doesn't affect playback of the song, just doesn't give you a memo describing the demo.

We are aware of that, and will of course add a patch for that. BTW, there are about 80,000 files in the UltraPAK.


Have Fun!

Supplementing a few little things yet in the style- list :
14. the TITLE "new real tracks 170-187" displays zero and accordingly there is nothing
15. filtering the new real tracks sets doesn't work

Thanks for cleanup, regards, Rainer

For some RealTracks styles such as CBOLRHS, Guajira, and others Bass comes in with Reverb set to 127

Also Guajira, Smokin Blue Sax, R&BHorns and manyothers say Memo not available.

When you Re-build styles, some styles (135) go to Other Styles instead of where they belong.

Sounds like Quality Control really slipped up. I've never seen an update with so many problems.

These are not for DEMO songs but Styles themselves.

Another reverb warning...

I found that picking a number of styles changes the reverb settings. Also, when manually selecting RTs, the reverb gets changed on the selected track. Check your reverb settings until this is fixed.

Yes, we're aware of that, and it will be fixed in a patch tomorrow.

Keep in mind that no orders have shipped yet (just downloaded), and any order will get shipped the latest version, with those fixes present, so thanks for reporting that.

What do we do if we've already downloaded? Download again? Or will there be a fully effective update?

I'm sure there'll be a patch available soon. That's what normally happens.

Is anyone else experiencing the Audio Reverb setting being changed on parts when changing a style. I'm using custom styles and BIAB is still changing the settings. Today it is 8 on Bass, 48 on Piano, and 58 on Drums. To my knowledge, my styles don't do this nor have they ever done so. It seems to be limited to the Supertracks. Even using the built-in Supertrack styles, the problem occurs.

I'm using build 362

Audio Reverb has no effect on MIDI SuperTracks, since they are MIDI (not audio). No MIDI (or audio) Reverb is getting added to MIDI SuperTracks.

Audio Reverb does get applied to RealTracks (when you select them or they are used in a style). If it didn't, everything would be dry (no reverb). You can turn this feature off if you want everything dry (prefs-RealTracks- Add Reverb to RealTracks, or adjust the amount of reverb that gets added.

More reverb gets added at slower tempos.

I understand the difference between audio and MIDI reverb depending on the track. I often change a song style from RTs to STs and am used to seeing the audio and Midi reverb set the same for all of my songs. With 2013, I was surprised to find that those values changed depending on the style, tempo, and/or instrument chosen. Perhaps it was always there and I never noticed it.

I'm sure a lot of thought went into the reverb settings and I don't wish to disable this. As long as I can change a song style and not have any surprises, all will be fine. I'll play around with it now that you explained it.

Thanks

Artist Performance Set #1 only has 3 songs. I assume there should be more.
Artist Performance Set #2 has 14 songs.
Artist Performance Set #3 only has 7 songs.

Anybody else with this issue. Or do I need to reinstall?

Also, notation only shows for the original chorus, not for the improve choruses (2 and 3).

This is not a new problem -- it's several years old. It's a "still not fixed" problem.

The Midi keyboard input to the Conductor controls doesn't work properly.

Kent, Peter and others know about this and it has been "passed on" to the programmers. Clearly not a priority item.... this is just a reminder.... Please pass it on. It's a potentially useful feature for both practice and live playing.

Thank you.

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.

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."
