Hello
So long request (4 years or more?). Rewire could make possible to use band in a box live in our DAW . And Rewire is so common used. I wait for it to update my 2011 version, and i'm sure i'm not the only one. Would be great, even you could explain why you dont do it already.
Thanks

Up to now, usually PG Music don't explain why they don't implement a requested feature. That is the rule. But what is true today may be not true some months/years later.

John-Luke is correct about the "usual" pattern, and there have been exceptions. For example, after a lot of speculation on the need for a 64-bit version of BIAB, Dr. Gannon did give an explanation. He first posted a query about exactly what people were requesting and why they needed it, and then an explanation of why he went in a different direction (JBridge). Interestingly, Dr. Gannon also posted about wanting to implement Rewire in the thread with your (Armand) only other post from late last November, so you know he is aware of it.
There have been no new versions since that time. At the time of that thread, BIAB 2017 was just days before release.
There also exists a group of experienced users who regularly do beta testing, and sometimes we can go more into depth about something in a smaller group. PG Music offers a unique product with proprietary technology, and I respect their decisions about what to make public and when. Armand, just keep doing what you are doing: make your requests in the Wishlist, where we can clarify and/or support them.
For the request to implement Rewire, +1

Why would you want to rewire BIAB when you can drag and drop the files to your DAW. The only reason to use Rewire is for the ability to be able to use instruments found in one DAW have them work in another DAW. For example, if I wanted to use Ableton Live synthesizers in Logic, I would need to use Rewire to sync those synthesizers. This would not work with BIAB as BIAB is solely designed to help backup your song, it provides you with real players playing real instruments in a style or allows you to insert your own virtual instrument(s) within a MIDI style, and not act as a standalone virtual instrument. If you want standalone instruments, you will need to check out websites such as 8Dio, Native Instruments, East West and other like those.

Why would you want to rewire BIAB when you can drag and drop the files to your DAW Syncing. One example is you have a recorded session in a DAW, now you want to add some PG RealTracks to it, you want to play the RealTrack along with the DAW session to see what fits best, so you use ReWire to sync both the DAW and Biab together, you can have 7 of the same instrument track/section in Biab, and by soloing each one you pick the one that fits best to the DAW session, now you use drag n drop to your DAW.

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."
