There is a Band-in-a-Box 2015 build 413 update available (Dec 17) (BETA)

Download the build 413 Update. (140 MB)

This is a currently a BETA update. This patch will update Band-in-a-Box 2015 to Build 413 from any previous 2015 build.

Audiophile users can download this larger Audiophile update instead, which has some .wav specific updates.

If you have build 410 or earlier, you may wish to download the full 2015 update patch (includes some additional RealTracks updates that were in the previous patch).

The patch installs many RealTracks updates; make sure to select the correct RealTracks and Drums folders so those files can be updated.

Summary of Changes for Version 2015 Build 413 (Dec 17, 2014)

  • Improved: Enhancements to Save as Video (for upload to YouTube etc.) function. Updates include better sizing of video, video artifacts issue on non-Aero themes fixed.
    We have made a video tutorial about the Save as Video feature, here:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMstMeW6QbA&feature=youtu.be
  • Fixed: New features button links to proper webpages.
  • Added: Some additional Shots and Holds for the most recent instruments.
  • Fixed: Some demos songs with incorrect Hi-Q assignments.
  • Fixed: Audiophile version crash when some specific holds files were used.


Summary of Changes for Version 2015 Build 412 (Dec 15, 2014)

  • ** Major feature added **:
    Save as Video. Now you can save your Band-in-a-Box song composition as a video, that you can upload to YouTube or work with in video programs. Just press the [Save as] button and choose 'Save as Video'. The 'video' portion is the chordsheet in Band-in-a-Box that shows the chords and a highlighted bar moving as the song plays. Song title and song info displays at the top of the window. For example, you can make a backing track for a cool chord progression, and upload it to YouTube for others to play along to. Do a visual transpose and upload a second version for Bb tenor sax players.
  • Fixed: When no mp3 codecs were available and render was chosen to mp3, program was sometimes locking up.
  • Fixed: Icon changed for 2015 new features in some menus.
  • Fixed: Most HiQ instruments have been updated - fixed tuning problems and one sustained note problem.

Hi Andrew,

I have emailed a final list of issues after testing all demo songs and styles in RT 206 to 227 on version 413.

The formatting is lost by pasting here but some folks might find it useful...

RT208, 209, 211, 214, 215, 216, 218, 219, 221, 222, 223, 224
All ok

RT206
No string tracks generated:
violin[2337]
string quartet [2334 & 2335]
viola[2336 & 2338]
All demo songs load without error

RT207
_ELPJHSS and _JHRNSSS - Load Demo Song - Message - Not Found

RT210
^_BOOGL01 gives error loading first demo from the two that popup (demo2 is ok)
Attenzione PART 2: Instrument not found
but seems to play ok.
^_BOOGL02 is OK.

RT212
*_KOTOCLD gives error loading demo - Attenzione PART 7: Instrument not found
but seems to play ok.
*_NASHAKU gives error loading demo - Attenzione PART 6 & PART 7: Instrument not found
but seems to play ok.

RT213
^_CELAIRP gives error loading demo - Attenzione PART 7: Instrument not found

N.B. this uses a string track which works but it's MIDI using SampleTank rather than a RT.

but seems to play ok.
Note: The following styles with RT strings play fine
_SWPOPST strings RT 2370
_SWSTWLZ strings RT 2371
^=STPOPCT gives error loading demo - Attenzione PART 6 and PART 2: Instrument not found
but seems to play ok and uses strings RT 2369.

How do you use the patch installer with a USB everything version? Install over the USB files? I guess I have the same question with regard to the 49-pack bonus files... do they get installed on the USB, or am I supposed to have a duplicate install path on my hard drive (which would defeat the purpose of the USB IMO).

Yes, you can install on the USB drive. For example if has the drive letter H: (for example) on your system then you select H:\bb for your Band-in-a-Box folder and RT folder locations.

If you went the route of installing everything onto your computer's internal HD (one of the installation options), then you can install the patch etc. there as well.
