maybe i'm an idiot but i want and need a metronome function. a metronome is basic. it's shocking to me this program, that is so sophisticated, does not have a metronome! i want a metronome that is easy to use, prominent in the User Interface. all teachers recommend a metronome. why doesn't this program have one that is decent? the metronome should be able to be used by itself, with play back, with recording, everything. it's a real drawback not having a useable metronome.

thanks for the screen shot. i still consider what you sent/showed me to be a primitive form of a metronome. the other issue is that i use a mac, and the "metronome" function you have on windows is better than the pitiful, basically non-existent metronome function on the mac version; i will attach a screen shot of the "metronome" function on my mac:

/Users/stewlyons/Desktop/Screen Shot 2015-10-09 at 5.54.26 PM.png

but the essential difference is that the windows "metronome" works during playback, while on the mac version the "metronome" only works during recording.

but overall, PG should create a robust helpful, useful, accessible metronome right on the main screen, it should not be buried in menus.

it's incredible that a music program like BIAB does not offer this type of metronome! just incredible! it would be SO helpful!

sorry, looks like the screen shot didn't work; or at least i can't see it as i type.

thanks, again.

ps-i just figured out how to add the screen shot.

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.
