We have a RealBand 2014 Build 7 update patch:
http://www.pgmusic.com/support.realband.htm#2014_7

Note: This update also incorporates the previous 2014 updates.

Summary of Changes for 2014 Build 7 (Feb 27, 2014)

Fixed: Nodes weren't working with ASIO.

Summary of Changes for 2014 Build 6 (Feb 24, 2014)

Fixed: Moving volume control for a track did not change the audio level unless playback was restarted.

Fixed: Clicking on the node overview in tracks window, for a track without nodes, would sometimes insert nodes, even if not clicking on the horizontal line.

Fixed: Copy/Cut/Paste as well as Ctrl-Drag/Drop now default to not including nodes.


==================


Summary of Changes for 2014 Build 5 (Feb 21, 2014)

Fixed: After loading a style with the StylePicker, chord entry in the Chords Window stopped working for most chords.

Fixed: Double-clicking to insert a node did not work if there was a track with nodes displayed below the track you double-clicked on.

Fixed: Delete, in the Tracks Window, was causing nodes to get created on the sides of the deleted area.

Fixed: Nodes checkbox in the Paste window.

Added: Cut/Paste, as well as Ctrl-Drag/Drop, was creating nodes on the sides of a region even if nodes didn't already exist

==================

Summary of Changes for 2014 Build 4 (Feb 17, 2014)


Added: Adjust volume of nodes in track volume right-click dialog, and in the node popup menu.

Improved: Faster bootup time.

Added: FlashMessage to let user know that there isn't a marker close to the current time, instead of deleting a far away marker, if the Delete Marker button was pressed.

Fixed: Various drag/drop issues involving the DropStation, etc. For example, dragging a MIDI track to DropStation and then to desktop did not work.

Fixed: Paste with crossfade enabled had artifacts.

Fixed: Flashmessage instead of error message box if there is problem creating wave in header.

Fixed: Spurious "file too big to load completely" error.

Fixed: Volume control not always correctly reflecting node change when song was started from new location.

Fixed: Hi-Q MIDI instrument name not being shown in the menu after being loaded in.

Fixed: Hi-Q MIDI instrument not being loaded from MGU or SGU.

Fixed: Dropping a file onto the Tracks Window would sometimes result in TempLoad1234.WAV showing up in the track name.

Fixed: Ending checkbox in the Song Panel was not reflecting the setting in an MGU or SGU.

Fixed: Weird problem in which pressing Alt-F and choosing Open Next File would result in menu flickering.

Fixed: Could not add a .WAV to the jukebox.

Fixed: RBERROR.LOG file showing a beta version.

Fixed: Drum grid would remain silent due to all the blank tracks defaulting to audio tracks, and expression therefore being set to zero by default.

Fixed: Range check or access violation if the next chord was way beyond end of current screen in audio edit window.

Fixed: Volume automation had an "echo" issue on audio track(s) where the volume changes occurred again after they already happened.

Fixed: Snap/Lock Selection button issue in Tracks Window where they interfered with each other. (e.g. Snap released Lock Button).

Fixed: Vocal synth not working in some cases.

==================

Summary of Changes for 2014 Build 3 (Dec 13, 2013)

Added: Options | Hide Toolbar menu item has been revived with Ctrl+T as the shortcut (hides the TOP toolbar). Message added to bottom status bar, "press Ctrl+t to exit fullscreen".

Fixed: Lockup when changing Metronome playback setting during playback with the Metronome button.

Fixed: CPU usage meter didn't change colors in response to moderate or heavy usage.

Fixed: Potential access violation after clicking/dragging a range of nodes.

Fixed: Cutting/pasting a range of nodes didn't always result in the nodes looking correct afterward.

Added: Nodes are automatically added when loading in a .MID.

Updated: Help file.

==================

Summary of Changes for 2014 Build 2 (Dec 4, 2013)

Fixed: Node entry locked up RealBand in Windows XP.

Fixed: If RB was booted up with the Guitar Window already set to a Bass fretboard, then, if you switched to guitar, the zero fret note names for 2 of the strings would not be visible.

Fixed: Choose Font dialog, when launched from Notation Options Window, would not always stay on top of other windows.

Fixed: Double-clicking can now work for entering a node directly on the line (in addition to outside of the line).

Fixed: Node editing caused the numbers on time-line to be bold.

Fixed: Hover for big clock in the time panel didn't work.

Added: Double-clicking on an existing node will erase the node.

Fixed: Help menu item didn't opening 2014 features guide.

Yes it's great to get these Updates/Fixes regularly please don't stop ! it's great support !

The nodes don't seem to be working still, but by default the node check box is not ticked, I'm happy with that, now I don't have to use Volume Automation nodes until you get the clip base ones in RB & BB smile .

Regret that Build 6 still has a bug. I selected a guitar track and down the length of the track entered Nodes at intervals as 127 and 0 successively to obtain a sawtooth effect. Although the Volumn slider moved the sound level remaine constant after the first node. Can anyone duplicated this funny????

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."
