Kaylen,

The link Flatfoot provided is excellent, had not seen it before and there are a goodly number of song files there.

Another good source is the Band-In-A-Box user group on Yahoo. The group has two additional groups just for storing files. You must join the main group and request to join the archive groups to gain access to the files. Here are the links:

Hi Flatfoot,
By fuss, I meant that I had seen some controversy in other posts over sharing things like cover songs. Maybe I misunderstood.

Hi Marty!

I am a long timer on this forum (and in real life, I suppose). One of the topics that keeps coming up is the copyright issues that do or do not apply when someone uses BiaB to create a song of their own. The topic is discussed a lot, but I do not see the discussion as being particularly contentious or argumentative.


Maybe I am not really paying attention...

thanks again, that list will keep me busy a while , I did figure out about the transposing key,but is there a way to transpose say an octave up or down?


Music is as useless and unimportant as life itself

Yes, if what you want to change an octave (either direction) is MIDI, which you normally have on the Melody and/or Soloist tracks, and may have on others. For the Melody, you can do it in Melody, Edit Melody, Transpose. Similar for the Soloist. Or, for a global change, go to Opt., Preferences, Channels. Change the second column, Octave.

The website mentioned by Flatfoot is great. It is really a good learning tool to download a song and see how someone else uses the program to build a song. I downloaded a few and was amazed at what was done. I had to dig to find out "how did they do that". When I listen to some do the creations posted on the User Showcase, I never imagined what went into these creations. This is getting additive!

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."
