Are these the same ones I just bought or are there now MORE tracks in the pack I just bought?

Looks like PAK 1 was the earlier release & PAK 2 is new. Can you confirm Callie

I can help our Callie here ... the Xtra Pak 2 is new, full of great stuff to get your musical juices flowing. Pak 1 came our in August (bought it then) and I did not hesitate to get X-Pak 2!

You're exactly right! Volume 1 was released this past summer, and Volume 2 was JUST released with 2017

No - these are not included in ANY upgrade Pak. Separate purchases.

That is correct - the Xtra Styles PAKs are an extra purchase.

Good to have this confirmed, wouldn't want to rush in and get something twice over, you know. Looks like I'll be having another look at these, then

Quick question about the Xtra Styles paks, these are not realtracks (audio files), so size wise they are relatively small, correct? The reason I ask, I am out in the country with a very poor internet connection so I always buy my BIAB upgrade on disk instead of download. I already ordered my 2017 upgrade (should be here tomorrow ) so too late to get the style paks with it, but if they are relatively small I shouldn't have a problem downloading.

The Xtra Styles PAKs trigger existing RealTracks in your UltraPlusPAK, EverythingPAK, or Audiophile package.
Because of this, the download size is pretty small:
146 MB for Xtra Styles PAK 1
154 BM for Xtra Styles PAK 2

Hi Earl, These are a separate purchase, and not included in any Band-in-a-Box package. If you didn't purchase them with your 2017 order, you can find them here: http://www.pgmusic.com/xtrastyles.php?os=winThanks, Callie

Strange, the Xtra Styles 1 zip file I got is roughly 300Mb in size. Any idea what counts for this difference?

Btw, I hate that I you can't delete a post if another post has been made after. Monumentally stupid arrangement!

Icelander,
Since this is the Band-in-a-Box for Windows forum, I was quoting Windows Xtra Styles sizes. The Mac ones are:
Xtra Styles PAK 1: 314 MB
Xtra Styles PAK 2: 150 MB
Thanks,
Callie

Btw, I hate that I you can't delete a post if another post has been made after. Monumentally stupid arrangement! At the very bottom of the Edit window, far right, it says Delete Post (as long as, like edit, it's within about one day). Are you saying an intervening post makes that not available? EDIT: I just posted two more useless posts and deleted the earliest one then the later one. Everything worked.

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."
