Hello. New here, and I have a simple question that I hope has an answer. I received a "Yellow Alert" upon restarting BB 2017. It was gone before I could read it all, but it involved deleting some file on my system and restarting the program to scan for plug-ins. Are these alerts archived in my system somewhere so I can go back and read them? If not, what might this one have said, if anyone knows?

I have other questions, but am working my way through the pdf manual with hopes of finding answers. The Yellow Alert issue is not referenced there, however. Thanks.

In your BIAB folder you should find a sub-folder called "data" (e.g. C:\bb\data). Loog for a file called "FlashMessageLog.txt". This file should contain the Yellow/Green messages with a date-time stamp.

By the way, it's on about page 617 of the PDF user manual (I say about, because I don't know if I was looking at the most recent version; sometimes the page numbers change).

In addition to the good advice above, you can locate it through a menu option.
(Note that the order is from latest to oldest in the display though.)
Also, welcome to the forums.

jford and VideoTrack,

Thanks for the information. The message was:

C:\bb\MaxPluginsToScan.txt file limited the number of counted plugins, likely because of a previous crash. Rename this file and reboot to try to scan plugins again [2017.467.2, 9/26/2017 6:14:58 AM]

Glad to be here. I used BB about 13 years ago, and the re-learning curve will be steep!

Yellow alerts require a full knowledge of Star Trek protocol, covered on page 47,018 in the PDF manual (not).

Welcome back. I think you'll find more similarity than difference, with many evolutionary improvements. The huge change will be in the sound, using the RealTracks and RealDrums, but apart from selecting them, actually constructing a song is similar to what you know. Every new version, I look at every menu and pull-down option. You'll find many new options, and a few have relocated. Worth the time to review.

The other thing that may help you most to get up to speed is to bring up the 'classic' interface, which should be more familiar to you at first. Near the upper left corner is a box under the word, Master. Click on the center of the bottom row, for 'Normal Screen Mode'; it's just left of the little word 'DAW'.

Maybe I should have said 'Welcome back the the forums'. You'll have noticed that this great program just got a little better during your absence.

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!

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."
