Upgraded to 2019 on my low spec Lenova Yoga Windows 10 64 bit.
32 bit biab works fine with Real tracks and midi thru Forte.
Processor peaking around 85%.
64 bit biab stutters and produces noise with same realtrack songs.
CPU solid at 100%.
Midi thru cakewalk vst seems ok.Have set all power options to max.

Desktop Win 10 32 bit runs 2019 biab fine with all files.

A bridge too far for my little travel laptop.

Garth,

As a test, try activating "This song has playback problems, disable fast generation" and see if that helps.

Song settings can be accessed by right-clicking on a blank spot in the chordsheet and selecting "Song Settings" from the menu that appears.

Let us know how you go.

Regards,
Noel

Noel,

Disabling fast generation of real tracks for this song has now enabled correct output in biab 2019 64 bit on my basic laptop.
Found a global version of this setting in options/realtracks.
However this appears to affect both 64 and 32 bit executables.
Is the biab settings file common to both?
If so, should there be a file unique to each version?

Why is there a difference between biab 32 and 64 when loading and playing realtracks on my low power laptop?

Another can of worms!!

Garth

It should run but will be slow 4 gig might be light and the processor is a bit slow. I use a Lenovo think pad 500 A10 processor and 8 gigs of ram and it will struggle under a heavy load of tracks and effects.

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."
