Howdy folks, I just purchased the Band-in-a-Box Video Tutorial PAK from a local vendor, and after installing the videos, I noticed that the videos are showing tutorials for using BIAB 2009? Is this right? Shouldn't the videos be showing how to use BIAB 2011? Are the videos meant to be showing how to use BIAB 2009 or did I get an old version of the Video Tutorial PAK?
During installation, this is the info given:

Hi Jonah, I just checked out the Tutorial PAK that I have and it agrees with what you listed. There are additional "new features" videos available for BIAB 2009.5, 2010, 2010.5 at on the PG site at this link http://www.pgmusic.com/bbdemovideos1.htm and for 2011 at this link http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.new.htm. Hope that helps, Ed

Hi Ed, Thanks for checking. I got this response from PG Music support:
===
Hello,
That looks correct. Our Video Tutorial PAK has not been altered since 2009, the videos are sufficient to demonstrate using the 2011 version as the program mechanics and layout have not changed substantially since that date. If you watch the 2010, 2010.5 and 2011 New Features Videos on our website in addition to the ones you have, you will be all set. Sorry for the confusion that may have caused.
Thank you,
PG Music Inc.
===
I know PG Music is hard at work improving BIAB for everyone, but please, to avoid confusion for future customers, please make time to add the latest 2010-2011 tutorial videos into the video tutorial pak that is being sold, and add a note:
"Our Video Tutorial PAK has not been altered since 2009, the videos are sufficient to demonstrate using the 2011 version as the program mechanics and layout have not changed substantially since that date."
A newbie like me who has bought a 2011 version of BIAB would be expecting video tutorials for BIAB 2011. This confusion could cause unnecessary friction, I almost returned this to the vendor. Please don't put your customers through these kinds of situations.
Thanks, J.

Agreed - I want to download all the tutorials so that I can watch them while I am on a trip (I am doing this for Reaper.) Not having them with the package that was purchased is a serious detractor and doesn't look good. Most of all, you have tutorials on different pages and this isn't organized. The largest frustration comes when you start using it.

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."
