Build 384 update patch for Band-in-a-Box 2014 is available.http://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm#384There is a Build 384 update available. Note: This update patch incorporates the previous 2014 updates. A separate audiophile patch is not required. Summary of changes for Build 384- Fixed: Guitar glitch when changing fret positions (redraw took a long time).
- Fixed: Guitar fretboard drawing glitch for the open position.
- Changed: Notation, editable notation, when TrackType is Guitar: when entering notes using guitar tab, notes get entered on the last guitar tab string clicked on. Now if you want to stop that mode, actions like changing the track, or the notation mode will reset it so that clicking a note isn't in the guitar tab mode still.
Summary of changes for the previous build 383- Improved: Guitar Tab notation entry improved. Clicking on tab in editable notation (after setting tracktype to guitar), will then set the next note to be inserted on that string.
- Fixed: Tab font was too big on leadsheet.
- Fixed: && was displaying for some styles with & in the name, such as R&B.sty.
- Fixed: F5 Bar report was missing bar numbers sometimes.
- Fixed: Updating old mixer sliders wasn't updating the new mixer sliders.
- Fixed: RealTracks auditioning issue if your home folder was named with "band" in it.
- Fixed: If usertracks was chosen, loop dialog referred to the usertracks (and vice versa).
- Fixed: Instrument radio button menu showing usertracks was showing for loops.
- Fixed: Acid info file had wrong acid name sometimes.
- Fixed: User Memo in RealTracks picker wasn't allowing spaces in memos.
- Fixed: In notation, sometimes after pressing stop, the up/down arrows were causing notes to change in the notation window.
- Improved: In lyric editing more, going to the next lyric now highlights the text of the lyric.
- Fixed: Audio button on mixer was resulting in wrong notation windows width.
- Improved: Notation window, when note names are displayed, and there are blue lines shown for durations, now more visible note names.
- Improved: For the audition play controls in the RealTracks picker and other dialogs, the play button now stays pressed in.
- Fixed: Chords with 16th note pushes like ^^C weren't showing correctly using BigBand font.
- Fixed: Drums demos with # in the name were not playing from the internet.
- Fixed: Audio play from bar 1 offset fixed, on songs without tempo changes.
- Fixed: Audio track, option in Render dialog to include/exclude audio track in render wasn't working in all cases.
- Fixed: Audio Track volume not being saved with the song.
- Fixed: When the option to show the Channel Numbers for the note names is selected, and you are in Staff Roll notation mode, the channel numbers appear behind the blue lines. This makes it difficult to see the numbers in this format.
- Fixed: If I have all MIDI tracks in the song then changing the "THIS SONG" volume setting works ok within BiaB but makes no difference to the exported ".wav" file. That is you can have it all the way up or down but the exported ".wav" is still the same volume.
- Fixed: Audition file for styles was looking for a RealDrums demo for some songs that already had RealDrums in them.
- Fixed: Mute audio function doesn't cause a glitch now - happens immediately.
- Updated: Full Band-in-a-Box manual.
- Fixed: When adding styles with StylePicker editor, the styles weren't being added to the new categories.

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."
