SampleTank 3 for $25 USD

... kind of a no-brainer buy if you are looking for a broad selection of sounds and you have a big Hard Drive.

... and time/bandwidth to download the 6.5 gig library.
(It's a download only version)

If you've downloaded the Ultrapak before it's not that big of a deal. smile

That's SampleTank SE (Special Edition), not the full version. So that's 400 out of the 4000 instruments in the full version.

Still a decent selection.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Sample Tank 3 is cool. I use it all the time. The full version is $99 now I think. Worth every penny.

I am still sitting on the fence with this, think it finishes 31 aug.

Would love if someone who has recently purchased would give a first impression of this.

I've had it for two years now. Is it the BEST softsynth out there? No but is it the best bang for the buck out there, yes. I would call it a high end synth but lets say it's the bottom of the high end. Still way better than all the cheapies around. This is my impression just using the included sound libraries I haven't bothered with the myrid optional libraries. They could be absolutely great, dunno. I got it with their buy a piece of hardware and get ST3 for free promo so it cost me $79. $99 is still a screaming deal man.

Just check out all the many YT vids that demo the sounds. Pretty good BUT it's not a GM synth, It won't simply load into a Biab or RB VST slot and automatically play your midi tracks, you have to manually select the instruments and midi channels first. But that's true of any high end VSTi.

Thanks bob

This is what I am looking for, users who have and use Sample Tank.

You get the honest opinions this way.

Again thanks for taking the time to give me your views.

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."
