RealBand 2011 doesn't seem to be very intuitive for editing midi. Does anyone have a better recommendation? Ex; I would like to use Piano Roll View and insert a note via right click/insert note and also be able to hold down left mouse and drag note to a high note/pitch. (for examples). I used to use nTrack Studio to do this very easily but no longer have that program. I'm hoping I can avoid buying another program if I can figure out how to do this in one of my current programs.
I Have; BIAB 2011. RealBand 2011 and Powertracks 10.

2015 PowerTracks is $29 for upgrade. Don't know if it
serves your purposes tho. It has been improved quite a bit.

Good Luck!

In Notation Mode, does this technique work with 2011 version (I think it should)
Left click on the Stave where you want to add a note, Hold control-key down and click drag it to required position. Very quick and easy.

In piano Roll view, press-hold <Control><Shift>, mouse cursor changes to a pencil, draw the note where you require.

Thanks for your tips. After understanding the Help Topic a little better I'm able to insert notes and edit things quite easily in RealBand 2011. Not as easily as I remember nTrack Studio was. nTrack had all the edits in a menu with a right mouse click and several keyboard short cuts. But, RB 2011 Piano Roll works well enough for what I need.

BiaB notation has a couple of features in its notation engine that other programs dont. Before you master them, you might think they compare poorly with what you are used to. After you learn them I think you wil see that they are pure genius.

One is that each time you mouse in a new note, BiaB enters a duration of six beats. If you insert a new note in the middle of existing notes, BiaB computes the available time left in that measure and give the new note an appropriate duration. This makes entering notation super fast - once you learn how it works.

Another feature is "Staff Roll" notation. It is a hybrid of piano roll view and staff view. It takes a while to learn, but once you get it I think you will agree that is it brilliant. No other program has anything like it. Well suited to your original question. Look up "Staff Roll Notation" in the help files and practice a little.

Staff Roll can also be selected from the notation window with this button:

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!

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."
