I just got the announcement in my email inbox. Groove 3 has an updated tutorial on “BIAB getting started”. I’ve not had a look at it but based on other tutorials by Eli Krantzberg it should be good. Eli is an excellent tutor.

Good News.

Eli is a good teacher. A very approachable guy.
His videos on Logic Pro X are excellent and encompass almost every topic on the product.

He also has a video on Jazz Harmony from a keyboard perspective that is useful even if you don't

I find the Groove3 annual pass ($100 per year) to be an excellent value. It offers all of the above videos and hundreds of others from A-Z in the music world. Check it out, you may find it worth the $$$.

These tutorials do appear to be helpful. Please note that they are made by Groove3, and not us. So any specific questions about these tutorials or purchasing options for them should be directed to Groove3.

But we are always happy to help and answer your questions about Band-in-a-Box over live chat or email support@pgmusic.com.

I am really glad Groove3 is updating the tutorial. A lot has changed since the original tutorials were published. Eli is a great trainer. Groove 3 seems to have figured out a good format for introducing Band-in-a-Box to new users. I'm looking forward to the Windows release.

Thanks for sharing the information Tony!

Earl, good points. What items do you suggest they should cover in a more advanced tutorial?

I purchased this new Groove3 “BIAB getting started” product. The cost is low and I feel that it is worth the $ purchase cost. The videos are smooth to watch. It is helpful to pause and try, then continue.

If I had a magic improvement wand ...
* Better if it included Win commands
I am a BIAB 2021 Win user. So several of the keystrokes mentioned do not apply directly. In these cases it is a treasure hunt in BIAB and in the Help to locate the equivalent Win keystroke. This is not horrible, there is learning in this activity.

* Better if the audio quality were higher
Sometimes the audio quality of the voice is weak, he may be saying Alt-B and it sounds like H.

* Better if there were a PDF workbook video companion

I was also a Groove3 'BIAB 2015 for Windows Explained' product owner and was satisfied with it.
So prior to this new purchase I confirmed with Groove3 support
Quote:
from groove3: These are brand new shot with BIAB 2020 and then we added the new 2021 update videos to this offering as well so you get it all. These are not videos that you've seen. All new.


RrR cool

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!

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."
