Dear sirs,
I would find it really useful if band in a box could be configured to be used as a client (or as a slave) to an another DAW. ether though Rewire, VST or even midi clock. (thou any of these options would be fine, Rewire would be my top choose, VST my second).
My issue it this. I do Scores, and I have come up with the perfect set up for this purpose. I use my DAW as the master and load a segment of the video and audio from a movie that needed to be scored into it as a guide. I then proceed to plug in VST and direct x devices into that DAW as needed and wire up several midi channels to outside hardware. I also synchronize a couple of other DAWs and sequencers to this set up. I tend to Rewire to Reason, plug NI machine into my system as a VST, and send midi clock out to my Yamaha QY-70. One of the reasons that I approach this in this way is because some of these DAWs can do things that I can do in any other way, so I relent of all of them for my work, and that includes my Master DAW.
I would really really like to be able to add Band in a box to this configuration as anther DAW synced to my master DAW. So I am hopping that you will highly consider my suggestion for your 2016 release of Band in a box.

I became a big proponent of Rewire as soon as I found out about it. At the time I was running Reason 3 and Nuendo 1. What a moment when I got them running together! I recommended Rewire to PG Music shortly after that, probably in the late 2000s.
Later on I found a page on Propellerheads' web site which detailed the benefits, as well as the fact that it was free to developers and came with free technical support. I copied and pasted this in another post a few years ago.
Shortly thereafter PG said that they were "looking into it." As a new user, you have no idea how momentous that is. AFAIK that is the ONLY time they have commented on a process that might be in progress. However, that was years ago and we have heard nothing since.
I don't actually know whether BIAB is a good candidate for Rewire--but RealBand and Power Tracks Pro Audio would be, and I could certainly "settle" for that. Keep up the racket and maybe we'll hear something more. I'm with you 1,000%.
Regards,
Richard

This would be huge! As stated there is no form of sync not even the most basic MMC (MIDI Machine Control) for start control though that could be done other ways. With OSC or Keyboard Maestro or QuicKeys. Keeping them both synced with tempo changes would be huge! So disappointed there is no communication from BIAB about this after years of posts. This is not fully proof read but thought it might be helpful to someone and gives the general idea of what I have done to sync things with a steady tempo. http://reference.StudioPrime.com/forums/pgmusic/Band-in-a-Box_-_Transport_Control_with_Keyboard_Maestro.pdf

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."
