Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkSorrow Ev16 (2548) sounds like a banjo when using a hold (either .. or ...) is this some sort of fault? It really wrecks the mood of a song when you get this real banjo "twang" on a hold.

Thanks

I wonder if the hold for that guitar is pointing to the wrong "holds" file> Perhaps there's a banjo hold that sounds like a guiar.

After someone else can verify this (I'm not at my music machine at the moment, otherwise, I would), you should report this to PGMusic for resolution.

Have a look in the RealTrack picker Holds column for some similar Acoustic Holds numbers to try, you can change the Holds Here:

I think I'll wait for PG to fix it, rather than setup songs with "workarounds", but thanks for the suggestion it is a good one!

Kent, will PG post something here when it is fixed, or do I need to contact them more directly?

Hi Joden,

When it's fixed, it'll be included in an update patch, either an update for BIAB itself or a RealTracks update.

So just make sure you install any patches that are released, and you'll get it.

Thanks

Kent I was just re-thinking this. The last RT glitch I reported, the team there released a couple of small files to replace those in the RT folder... http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=362239#Post362239

This from that thread:
We looked into that issue, and found an instance where an Ebm chord would get played as a Ebmajor. This just affects that RealTracks #372
The fix will appear in the next patch, but if you want to get the fix now, download these tw files to your c:\BB folder

So as it now seems an update might be some time ( I was going to wait for the update, but I am needing the guitar in another project) is it possible to get patches like was possible in that last case?

That's why I mentioned the fix above, just try some other Acoustic guitar Holds. Look at the other holds of the same Artist, 171, 64, 298,, if not try some other Acoustic Guitar Holds.

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."
