Has anyone managed to get this to work? Col WIN 10, BIAB WIN2022, Studio One 5, Audient iD4

Then click on the note and the system will show the correct fret on the string you clicked on. b) Just click on the string/fret on the guitar neck and the tab will show and the note. Both work fine for me. HTH Den Den 'Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they are NOT after you........' Win 10 , BIAB 2017, and that's all folks !!!

Method a) Doesn't work ie Can't get "C5" onto string 3 by first clicking on string 3 on the TAB (Edit Mode), always goes on string 2 Method b) Well, the Guitar fret board display puts "C5" onto string 3, (or anywhere) if that's were I click, but without needing to click on the TAB. Also noticed that even when the guitar fret board display is "hidden", notes in notation mode get inserted where you last positioned them for Fret board display.

I have a vague memory that method a) didn't work for me at first, but now does....maybe since I did the updates. Den Den 'Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they are NOT after you........'

However, PG support can't get it to work either and have referred it to development. Hopefully, it will be fixed in a future patch. Col WIN 10, BIAB WIN2022, Studio One 5, Audient iD4

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."
