Two days ago this article appeared debunking a rumor that was circulating on social media that The Artist Formerly known as Prince had died. The story cites a Facebook post that claimed Prince had died on the morning of April 19th. The story was a complete hoax; However, today there is this:


Pop Music Super Star Prince is dead at 57

RIP Prince

He passed today. He had an emergency plane stop with flu symptoms a couple of days ago. RIP Prince.

Way Too Soon, so sorry. I loved his music, he was such a musical innovator.

RIP Prince.

I grew up with his music, movies and MTV Videos. He was a true musician and took on the record labels before many else did. He owns the rights to all of his music and was a true pioneer in that field.

Purple Rain is a great flick, even today. The music and dialogue was perfect, IMO. "That's not Lake Minnentonka!" - Prince.

RIP Legend.

Very sad and unexpected. I loved his work and had to miss his concert in Hong Kong as I had family visiting that night. Now I'll never see him live. Too young. RIP.

I saw that too! When I first heard or Prince's death, I googled for confirmation and also found posts from a few days earlier claiming his death was a hoax. Now I can no longer find those stories. And the post in your link is updated- no longer saying April 19 but corresponding with the April 21 date the major media began reporting his death. Why are they now gone- scrubbed? It's all quite odd, but your post shows I'm not the only one in the world who saw those posts from a few days before the major media began reporting he died. Someone must have saved them.

I imagine that the websites that posted the false information were too embarrassed to leave it up. You might try looking on the Wayback Machine to see if they archived that particular date for the website I cited.

Considering the current ramifications, I'll vouch for the fact that you are his long lost brother. :-)

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."
