I want to upgrade to the Audiophile Edition, but it makes little sense to do so until 2016 is released. Is there an approximate date?

PG Music does not announce new editions in advance however, for the last few years the Windows edition has been released AROUND December 1 + or - a few days.

I strongly suggest you contact Sales. They might be able to suggest a solution that will work for you now.

David,

As long as I've been a member of these forums, there's always been a new release of the Windows version in December and before Christmas.

Based on past experience, I'd imagine it's not too far away.

Regards,
Noel

I do look forward to the new releases of biab, but at the time time, I intend to buy it only if there are new features, new real tracks or other content that make it really worthwhile.

Hope they only release it though when its ready and not a pile of fixes that have to be applied within a few days.

Last year, I've purchased the upgrade from 2014 to 2015 on 11/30. If that's an indication, we're getting close smile


Cheers,
Mike

Rumor is; release is scheduled for the second Tuesday of next week.
Wonder how many milliseconds that is ..

It'll be here the minute it's ready and not a millisecond before!

These annual threads crack me up. Nobody knows the time/day until it is here. I've been here a long time, and I know this time of year the anticipation grows due to past history, but we never know until we see the announcement on the site ... PGMusic should offer pre-ordering (grin).
But then they'd have to tell us how many new Features/RT's were included ahead of time.

I have a prediction:

Someday, likely within my limited remaining lifetime, the new version will be released in time for the USA Black Friday frenzy <grin>.

Until then, I'm content to jump to the upgrade sometime after the first week or two, when all the users get a chance to try it out and find any minor bugs that pop up.

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."
