I just talked to PG sales. You may want to get the $99 upgrade AND the Bonus 12 Pack for $25. The 12 pack includes the FREE 6 pack, but also 6 more goodies.

Thanks Peter, I was able to view the video on Youtube.
This was a bitrate issue then.

History says YES, unless PG should choose to extend the sale, which none of us would be able to predict unless and until that happens.

Historically, you save $$ bigtime by purchasing before New Year's Day.

Peter -

Wow, just wanted to say thanks for the fast delivery of my BIAB 2014 hard drive. I ordered it Monday evening and the FedEx man delivered it Tuesday morning - you blew Amazon Prime out of the water!

Give those guy and gals that work behind the scenes in shipping a raise!

Take care!

Hello,

at first I wish you a good and blessed New Year 2014!
Then I want to say thanks to Peter and staff for your great work with BIAB in it's new version 2014!
I was reluctant this time to uprade. But since I got to experience with it yesterday I can say: it was good for me upgrade. The workflow in finding suitable styles and realtracks alone makes version 2014 worth for me. But there other items, too, that are fine.

But there is one thing in the new GUI that I'm missing: the Combo-Boxes for the melody and the thru harmonies.
I'm working a lot with these harmonies, and that is difficult now. When I open a song, I no longer see whether there are harmonies in it or not. Well, the Memo-button reveals the melody harmony - somewhere ;-) - and I seee that there are "Short cuts" like "Alt F10", Alt F11", "Ctrl F10" and "Ctrl F11".
But these solutions are not really short ways to find and change these harmonies.

There is so much empty space in the new GUI on the right hand side of the song parameter section . Could you please fill in the good old Harmony Combo Boxes there? That would be great for a even better workflow.
Thank you!

Best greetings from germany

Addendum:

if these Combo Boxes for the harmnies aren't useful for the majority of the BIAB-users, it might be a fine solution for all to add an option in the Preferences menu to show / hide these boxes.

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."
