Some export issues I wish to be fixed. I can live with them, but I would rather compose than do manual work every time :-)
Export as wav files: when rendering one WAV file per track, I would like to see the realtracks saved by meaningful names, containing at least the realtrack number and instrument name. I usually export realtracks from several styles or individually selected for the mixing process where I make the final selection which RTs to use. Unfortunately it is later difficult to find the RT I have used. And many times I accidentally forget to change the render name and the old files are gone... Especially now when the instrument parts on the screen follow the real instrument names, but the saved files use the old fixed names (bass, piano, drums, guitar, strings), it is difficult to keep up what is going on. Currently after each render phase I manually rename the files, but if BIAB could do it automatically I would avoid that tedious task :-) Realband can do it so why not BIAB?
When I export song as MIDI file, the 2 bar lead in is included in the file even if the setting is off. This setting seems to work sometimes, but usually it doesn't. And when I open the Midi File Options dialog by clicking the Options... button to make sure that the setting is off and close the dialog, BIAB re-generates all realtracks even if I have clicked Cancel. Quite annoying and time consuming. This setting is part of my usual workflow because I open the MIDI file in my Vocaloid editor and when I import the produced audio file back to BIAB, many times I have noticed that there are two extra bars of audio and unfortunately it is not possible to put -2 bars in the import audio file dialog.

Hi jannesan, In relation to your last point about importing audio, if you use the "Import" option found under "Audio" on the very top menu, you can off-set the import.  Simply use a negative setting in the 'Bar' box (i.e. the left-most box). For example: instead of the 1, 1, 0 shown above, try -2, 1, 0; this says load the audio in bar -2 and begin on beat 1, tick 0. Hope this helps, Noel

Three years ago I wrote this:

And last year:
+100! Almost two years ago I wrote this request and I was disappointed once more with 2017 version. I calculated that I rendered and manually renamed more than 400 files during this year. If each rename takes about 30 seconds, then I did more than 3 hours of manual work, I wish I could spend that time for making music instead...
This is an important feature to me, but still not available in BIAB 2018. Or actually, it is working now even worse than before - now all exported wav file names start with temp_wav, previously they contained the song title. This means I have to add also the song title to each file. Janne

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."
