From what I understand of these, they are more related to notation than anything else. 1st and 2nd endings Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

Product development should be tracking the disparity and resolving. We're paying the same money as windows users. Last edited by housemannh; 10/26/14 03:45 PM.

New mac BIAB user I'm sure it wasn't this hard on BIAB for PC at my music school.... :-/ Atlantis https://soundcloud.com/atlantisz Ä-nē-cha Dē Feels Like Alice www.soundcloud.com/feelslikealice

Here you can designate the order of play using "ABABC..." type direction. You designate your various choruses as Part A or B or C or D, etc and the "form" then plays them back in the order you designate effectively giving you control of first and 2nd ending, codas etc. Ron95 As a teacher, Experience often begins the first lesson with the final exam.

Couldn't help noticing the slice at me, heh.... in my 'defence' (as if I need one), I'll just say: 1. I'm a long time Mac user of BBox and as such I've had years of growing frustrations with the many, many things we Mac users keep getting shorth changed on, if not missing out on altogether. 2. This 'feature' you you offered as solution is one I cannot even use on my BBox, because it's only available via a button (i.e. no menu command) and it's off screen on my display (honestly, when are they ever going to add standard mac SCROLL BARS to all windows sigh).

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."
