Hi Folks
just been told that this is not supported by PG Music, and I get that. But they did suggest that some people have done it.
So if somebody who has done it can give me some tips it would be appreciated. yes I know the 2023 Mac version is out but 160 odd is a little steep for out of work me. ( No sympathy required or asked for )
my BIAB 2022 will have to do.https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/wink.gif
Any sugestions ( Nice ones ) ;-) ......

Hi dr_macd
I have/was using BIAB WIN 2022 (and earlier versions) on an iMac for several years.
It worked OK but you can get a bit sick of "switching" if most of your other music stuff is on the OSX.
However, Parallels switches pretty seamlessly.
Only problems I found were sorting out some BIAB shortcut keys (which may need to be configured in Parallels and the odd bit of "clicking" (not during playback)with the audio interface, which probably has to do with what USB interface you have.
So, overall I found it worked fine.
I was just waiting for a MAC version I was happy with, this one looks good even though it still has the usual PG Music early release "bugs".
WIN 10, BIAB WIN2022, Studio One 5, Audient iD4

Thanks Beachboy,
Was that the arm version of windows on parallels or the Intel version.
I am currently running a M1 MacBook Pro. ?

i have an intel macbook pro.
I ran the win version on parallels for a few years.
Probably at least 5 years ago.
Never had any issues with it. Perhaps it ran a little slower. Negligible difference.
Worked fine.
That was then.

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."
