When using the app I don't seem to get the correct tempo sent to the Android app.
If I change it from either the app or the desktop they seem to work (talk), but not when I first load a song. The tempo in the app defaults to 140.
Anyone else notice this?

Just noticed, if I hit rewind (even if I haven't hit play yet) the tempo loads to the app.

Does the RB app come with BIAB or do you need to download from the app store?

The server function that drives it comes with BiaB, but I think I installed the app from the app store.

I just went to the Google Play store (on my phone) and searched Realband remote, I don't think it cost me anything this way .. but it may have been a buck. Honestly don't remember.

Download and install the app to Android device.
Start the Server function from (normally) the C:\bb\bbhelper\ folder
Launch the app on your android and this triggers the server function to launch RB on my system.

You can load a file from either the computer or the app, but the tempo seems to default to 140 and not match the seq file tempo on my phone. Hitting the rewind button on the app seems to make it grab the correct tempo from the file.
Then you can use the phone app as a remote control for RB. Play, record, mixer volumes and panning, etc.
Otherwise it works pretty dang well here.

I'll download and try it out. I tried the Android BIAB app a few months ago but ran into some issues with it. When comparing it to the ios version app shown in the video on PG's website it seemed to be lacking some key functionality such as: swiping over to additional screens and functions, adjusting to a new tempo while a song is playing, switching out one guitar/drums/keyboard part for an alternative, access to the mixer for adjusting the various track volumes and pans, conductor capabilities for jamming, etc. With the large and growing Android user base, hopefully they can improve it.

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."
