Hi I'm currently trying to drag a midi file into Logic Pro having successfully dragged all the aiff files across in the usual way. The midi file just won't budge. The 'drop' section doesn't want to recognise it. I've done it a thousand times before using previous versions of BIAB (I have 2017). Am I missing something?

So you can't drag it to the MIDI drop box?

I had an issue dragging over MIDI also. No problem dragging to the MIDI drop box, I then dragged it to the desktop from MIDI drop box, then in to DP(DAW) and it was fine. Cannot drag directly from MIDI drop box to DAW or Garageband at all.

Hmmm you too. Only in my case exporting to desktop as an interim step didn't work either. I've put in a ticket with support. I'll let you know what they say.

I found I needed to freeze the track then drag to drop zone when using a "custom midi" track, you could try that.

Cool thanks! Worked. It is a custom midi track. At least that'll keep the project progressing while the PG peeps sort it out.

Wait, Wait, Wait, had the same problem. Strange thing is - it did not occur on the drums but on the Cello/String and Bass. No problem to drop midi into midi-box but could not drop it into Logic.

So, I´ll have to freeze the track in Logic? .. have to try this smile

Yep try it. But freeze the track in BIAB, not Logic. Look for the snowflake symbol in Mixer view.

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."
