Hi Callie. I was wondering what Synth is used to generate the midi tracks in the demo? Is one Synth chosen and all sounds generated from the one source or are multiple Synths used? They sound pretty good. Thanks.


BIAB Ultra Pak+ 2024:RB 2024, Latest builds: Dell Optiplex 7040 Desktop; Windows-10-64 bit, Intel Core i7-6700 3.4GHz CPU and 16 GB Ram Memory.

It would be nice if you could provide us information about the 40 unreleased real tracks before I plunk down an extra $20 USD on the full package.

There is a 100% certainty that I will purchase the full package but why was this information not put on the website before the offer was made public. If not the demos, at lest some text verbiage for us to go over...or am I just missing where it is located on the website.

The 40 RealTracks are the same ones included in the 2018 49-PAK (http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.49pak.htm).

We are offering this specific $49 package (or $119) during our special because it is the IDEAL purchase for any 2018 UltraPAK/Audiophile customer who did not add the 49-PAK to their order during our 2018 release special.

From development:
All demos were rendered using the default Coyote WT synth that comes with Band-in-a-Box. All of the MIDI styles made in Xtra Styles PAK 5 use the default synthesizer, none of them use Hi-Q patches. These styles were made this way so that their production is consistent across all installations of Band-in-a-Box, whether the user has Hi-Q patches installed or not.

Just to alleviate some confusion on my part if you please.

I just opened up BIAB and filtered on "Chose and Show User Category" in the style picker and I see that Xtra Styles 5 already shows up as a choice. However there are no styles matching those on my computer so that leads me to the following.

Was the Xtra Styles listing added in the last update (Build 520) in anticipation of today's offer?

Thanks.

Callie:

Since I ordered the 49 PAK back in December with my upgrade, it would appear that I do not need the $20 add-on for the previously unreleased realtracks since I should already have them.

Thanks for the clarification before I spent the extra money for what was already included in the December offer.

Have ordered just the plain XTRA PAK 5 today.

Thanks.

All patches we release include support for the latest styles, so you're right - if you have Build 520 you will see XSP 5 show up as a choice.

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."
