Hi Marketing, you should send a questioner to those who have purchased MacBB/WinBB/RB every now and then to get feedback for development. Not everyone who buys BB/RB comes to the forum or emails PG with feedback. I have never received an email from PG ever asking for product feedback. You could have a list or an an optional multiple choice checkbox questioner that is easy : - What style of music do you prefer?
- How do you use Band-in-a-Box/Realband?
- Do you use just Band-in-a-Box or just Realband or both?
- Do you use just Band-in-a-Box or with a DAW?
- Would you use a Plugin version of Band-in-a-Box in your DAW?
- How did you hear about the program?
- How long have you been using the program for?
- Do you use the Windows or the Mac version or both?
- What are you favorite features of Band-in-a-Box/Realband?
- Which Band-in-a-Box/Realband features do you use the most?
- What Features would you like to see added?
- What . . .
- What . . .
Thanks, SR.

That's a great idea solidrock! It's something we've looked into in the past. As a purchaser of the product, do you think that having these types of questions in the order confirmation email would work, or would you prefer to see a follow-up email about 4-6 weeks after a purchase?

I think you would have to give them some time with it, as I said every now and then so you are getting regular feedback. First time purchases I think give them a few months with it. Those of us who purchase around the release date send it out to get feedback before you get started on the next version. It should be like a courtesy call "We value your opinion" "We listen" "We care" "How can we improve it". You can have a link that goes to a webpage with the feedback form. Try to include RealBand in there rather than "it's all about Band in a Box" It will be great to see a Mac version of RealBand DAW ! That's why I made www.realband.org to promote the DAW version of Band in a Box (that does not seem to get too much of a mention or promotion) so people use to using DAWs will find the transition a lot easier than straight into the learning curve of Band in a Box.

Here's a little addendum to that as well, if you're interested in sending us material for videos:
It can be pretty raw video, and we can edit it all up ourselves here.
A few things to keep in mind if you are interested in this:
1. If you're doing it in an "interview style", it's best to answer your questions with the question as PART of the answer. For example, if you're answering the question "What's your favorite feature in Band-in-a-Box", rather than launching into it saying something like "The guitar window, because...", for the purpose of the video it would be better to say "I think my favorite feature is the guitar window, because..."
2. Any audio you have is great. For example, if you were filming yourself recording a guitar solo into Band-in-a-Box, rather than just including the video file with the audio from that, it would be great to also include the actual recorded tracks and Band-in-a-Box files. That way we can sync them up and use the better recorded audio along with the video rather than using the audio recorded by the camera.
3. If you're able to shine a lamp or two directly at yourself when filming yourself talking, that makes for a much nicer looking resulting video.
That all being said, anything at all you send would be great, and we'd love to hear your stories and share them with the world!
Tobin

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."
