I'm looking for some better piano accompaniment from BIAB. I play guitar and use BIAB to create bass/drum/piano backing tracks. Anything out there? I like to keep everything Midi and I'm not using Realtracks.

Stevebol, what version of BIAB do you have? MIDI SuperTracks were introduced with version 2013 a year ago, and there are some fine piano tracks in there. I just used one last night instead of a RealTrack; it sounds great.

I'm on 2012. Are there a lot more choices with 2013 0r 2014? I'll have to look into Midi Supertracks and possibly upgrading.

Steve,

FWIW, today is the last day of the "Annual" upgrades sales.
You might want to jump on this if you have few extra $$$.

You're missing out on some backing tracks by not using some of the Real Tracks. The Evans Real Track sounds good. 2014 has some very good Real Tracks and Super Midi Tracks. The Real Tracks by Kenny Barron, Ron Carter and Lewis Nash beat most of the midi tracks hands down. Later, Ray

Does BIAB 2014 contain all the Midi Supertracks listed here?

The 2014 Plus Pak contains the Midi super Tracks 10-17. Later, Ray

I'm on 2012 Pro and I took the basic upgrade. Looks like I'll have to get the Midi Supertracks I wanted separately. No big deal.

I would give PG Music Sales a shout to be sure, since sometimes a few of these come in Bonus Paks offered only with a particular version.

To answer your first question, which I think you already know by now, yes, 2014 would have more MIDI Supertracks than 2012, because if I recall correctly, 2012 had none at all!

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.
