>>>...and one of the columns indicated if all realtracks and real drums are present or not for the song....>>>


Really? I dont see it. I remade the songpicker in a couple of different folders and I dont see any column to inidicate miising parts as described.

There is a bright side (if you need ammo for significant other) - after you use it, and like it as much as a lot of us then NEXT YEARS update, to get everything to make you current, will be significantly cheaper!

Not to mention that now you are empowered to experiment with Celtic Blues, or Disco Reels, or Bossa Jigs, or Rockabilly Hornpipes!

Actually, I have found playing around with the vast variety of styles that I don't ordinarily appreciate (and mashing them together) to be the most enjoyable feature of BIAB.

Happy New Year!

I like mixing up the Realtracks with various styles too. It's a lot of fun.


Make your sound your own!

EPILOGUE.
Once again folks, thanks for your guidance.
I bought/downloaded/installed the UltraPlusPAK - I'M SO HAPPY!
I contacted PG Music and they cheerfully refunded me the amount for the RealTracks 104 purchase that I made - no questions asked. I did tell them how happy I was with the crossgrade option.
After a look through the UltraPlusPAK, I think that I'll ask them to do the same for the 49Pak that I purchased - I've got enough Celtic styles with the UltraPlusPak to keep me busy for a long time.

So after all is said and done, it breaks down like this ($CAD - taxes, currency exchange/fees in)
$123.17 Band In A Box 2015 Pro
$213.91 UltraPlusPAK CrossGrade
$13.00 jBridge
$350.08 TOTAL
The total is almost 3 times the price of my original Pro purchase, but for about 1000 times the musical functionality!

Hi Dave,

Welcome to the club smile The UltraPlusPak is fantastic! You won't be sorry.

As rharv and Joel have pointed out, don't let yourself be restricted to a style simply by the Realtrack name. Experiment. Some of my best arrangements have come along because I mixed in a Realtrack whose name suggested that it wouldn't fit (but it did!).

All the best for 2015,
Noel

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."
