Any help to fix this problem? Thanks in advance. Montxo BIAB 2023 ULTRAPACK - WIN10 for GIGs: "laptop HP X360 - i7,RAM 16GB " + SSD 500GB for BIAB library

That can assist to narrow down the possible issue.

I have just tried loading a MIDI onto the Melody track and the volume slider would not alter the volume. I'm not sure if this is correct behaviour or not. I have reported to the programmers, though, so that they are aware of what is happening. Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

Be sure to select the Melody (or Soloist track, depending on where the data resides). You may find some hard coded volume settings there (which you can delete).

Sometimes the faders works and sometimes they DONT. the behaviour is irregular. I am getting too many faults in my Surface. It is almost with a fresh WINDOWS 10 installed but asap i gonna reformat it. I am know about 30 years using MIDI but I am havie a lot of problems with BIAB MIDI features. I use CUBASE PRO but I am trying to use BIAB for gigs and prepare repartoire. but it´´s been a nightmare.

Maybe is a problem with midi response of the HALION? If I use usual COYOTE it works. Can anybody check if anybody else has this problem? maybe a setting? but.... 30 minutes later. SURPRISE right now, because I have found a song where the volume faders works with the HALION. I don not understand nothin. crazy. Thanks, Montxo Last edited by Montxo; 12/10/19 01:26 AM.

But it should very strange if this is the reason of somo many problems. Dont know. The ERRATIC behaviour of BIAB must be for another reason. Thanks Last edited by Montxo; 12/10/19 06:40 AM.

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.
