It looks like Miroslav Philharmonik is getting ready to come out with a new version- I found the original one on eBay for cheap!

I have listened to samples of the new version and I can't really tell if they are that much better than the originals. Which causes me to question whether it's worth the upgrade.

The original samples are pretty decent and since I only use them occasionally I will probably hold off. I will upgrade to the new BIAB version first since I skipped last years upgrade.

That being said I just recently started exporting some of the Classical fake book midi songs into Reaper after opening in BIAB and applied the Philharmonic samples. I can say I'm pretty impressed with the samples and from my untrained ear It sounds like an orchestra. I added some eq, compression and reverb and viola!

If you haven't picked it up yet and don't want to spend a fortune for LA Strings or some of the other pricier samples this one has value. Perhaps I'll upload one of the classical songs I added samples to Sound Cloud and post a link if anyone is interested.

As an enthusiastic owner of the library, I was also underwhelmed by the demos of the newest version.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Even the original MP1 had initial mediocre "demos" by IK (actually IK's demos are still not very good)
so current MP2 demos are probably not a good indicator of actual goodness, badness, mediocrity, or usability unfortunately.

EDIT: But I will probably pull trigger since (as I mentioned in another post) I can get it with both Jam Points and upgrade pricing for ~$112

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.

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."
