Hello everybody,

I just learned that the BIAB version for MAC is not as complete as the BIAB version for Windows.

In fact, there is not this among others:

Medley Maker,
no metronome during recording,
no guitar chord,
looping features are different,
no Conductor window,


In short, I am here to ask the development team of the BIAB version for Mac to integrate the Vocal Wizard option.

I saw that this option exists in the BIAB for the Windows version


and it disappoints me that this wonderful option is not there for MAC.

It's a must.
think about it
A plugin that, by determining your vocal range, can suggest the best tones to sing your song.
So, a useful tool.

Finally, hoping that the MAC version is a little more complete in terms of effective tools, this is one that my singing students and I would make our lives a lot easier.

THANKS !

They have come a long way to getting the Mac version the same, but yes it would be good.
Maybe sometime into the future you will see When will Band In A Box be available for iOS (& Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, as well as VST, VST3, AU, AUv3, AAX and LV2 plug-ins (at the same time))

Just as we never know when the Mac version will be ready, we do not know what features from the previous Windows release will make it till it arrives. How long did it take us to see a piano roll?

It would be nice to see the Mac version AS Native this year but not a deal breaker if it doesn't happen yet. At some point it will have to be.

Then there are the GUIs in some windows that still look like refugees from OS 8 and the naming conventions that don't make sense nor match the documentation. Of course, we get used to those as we know BIAB but I feel for the newbies looking at it for the first time.

If only Apple would stop changing OS that hamper Developers then maybe it could catch up it took a big part of the year to conquer Sonoma!

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.

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."
