The existing BBW Open G tuning works for other guitars, however it would be nice to have traditional tuning available for Dobro as listed below :(ordered 6th to 1st string):

Open G: G2 B2 D3 G3 B3 D4

Open D: D2 A2 D3 F#3 A3 D4

In addition to the above, allow the user to define the notes for each string at at the open (nut) position for additional flexibility.

Have you tried all the Real Track Dobros and cannot find what you are looking for? I don't play Dobro but have used the RT dobros a lot and have not noticed anything missing.

Thanks for replying. It's not the Realtracks, but rather the fretboard/instrument tuning for notation/tablature (that I would use creating a melody or solo). While BBW has predefined alternate tunings, none are available for Open G or Open D Dobro. If there is not enough interest in pre-defined Dobro (Resophonic) tuning for Open G and Open D, than an alternate solution would be user-defined tuning tunings for a stringed instrument (guitar, mandolin, etc.). That way, one can just define the open string note for each string within a song and give it a custom label, if not within the application itself, at least as a text description in the notation view. SONAR, Notion and Guitar Pro 6 has this feature.

Thanks for restating your wish. That is clearly something to wish for. I agree.

+1.

It would assist resonator players and students.

This is exactly what I was going to post. Either Dobro tunings, or (even better) user defined open strings. Please, Please.

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!

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."
