Hello,
I tried to search for previous posts regarding my questions but found none; sorry if this has been previously covered.

My aim is to create my original songs with BIAB and then use them in a live show situation as back up to my vocals and acoustic. I will be using a laptop so I will need some sort of external (usb) sound card?, that will allow audio out to my PA system. Also what cabling will I need to go from the external sound card (if needed) to the PA system?
Is it even possible?
Any product tips appreciated.

Thanks...Earl

You could go from the computer headphone jack out to a PA now, just get the correct adapters.

1/8" stereo 'Y' adapter with RCA ends, a long good heavy RCA cable, and RCA-to-1/4" adapters at the other end into the PA .. good to go.

Hey, Earl:

Since BIAB will render either to WAV or MP3 format, you might consider ditching the computer entirely, at least for the tunes you KNOW you'll be playing most of the time. I just have BIAB create MP3's for the tunes I want and can play them back from my Ipad, Iphone, or any other MP3-compatible device. I usually have at least 3 copies of my tunes available when I play, just in case my main device craps out.

MP3 players are very simple, and incredibly cheap compared to a laptop, and since BIAB will create them for you, you might want to give it a try. You can also look up my earlier post about the new Iphone/Ipad app called BackTrax, which lets you control your entire act from one of those devices. Probably works on an Ipod Touch, too, but I haven't tried it. On the other hand, those devices can cost as much as a cheap laptop; however, they're much less volatile, since they have no moving parts.

Good luck!

- DR

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.
