That will be a "HUGE" upgrade. Enjoy! Lots of new content since 2011.

Yes. I haven't gotten even half of it installed yet. I opened up the program to register it and was like "Wow!" Everything looks so different.

Fully agree. You make some real nice music, Samuel. I'm looking forward to upgrading in the near future.

Congrats. I won't be able to upgrade until six months from now because I am a Mac user, but I will get it when it comes out. I won't be expecting to get all of the features that Windows users get because PG music does not care about Mac users. Just post in the forum about Real Band for Mac, the iOS app for iPad ( Isn't the iPad an APPLE product?). I don't get PG Music's logic. If someone from the company could give a fully detailed explanation as to why the center BIAB Real Band, Power Tracks etc around Windows users and leave the Mac users with the basics, that would be great. Seriously, I talked to one of the tech support people about BIAB and she told me that they purposely postpone the Mac edition with no explanation as to why. All you get with BIAB for Mac is BIAB, no Real Band not Power Tracks, just BIAB!

Awwww....did someone get up in a grumpy mood? sleep

Grab a used windows laptop for $100-200 and enjoy. I mean it will more than likley be more powerful than the newest mac pad (or whatever it is called) AND you will be able to upgrade it yourself for pennies! laugh cool

I live in a Mac Family. Just had to get my 12 year old daughter a power mac notebook for school. My gosh. $1300 US. A notebook PC would be about $2-400 US here in Hong Kong. I can't get on with MACs, but I do feel the MAC users get a raw deal.

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."
