Six days ago, I had a message from Chantelle that indicated that my BIAB Audiophile order was being processed. Just now, the hard drive arrived.

I find it incredible that the program has been processed, picked up, travelled and delivered to my door in just six days. It's a journey of over 13,000 kilometres (8,000 miles)!

Thank you Team PG Music smile

I wish everyone a very happy Christmas and New Year.
--Noel

That'd somewhat help...

Isn’t there a two-day delay for turning the package upside down, so it will work in Australia?

Ahhh yes,
But it all comes out in the wash because Austrailia is 2 days ahead of the rest of us due to that part of the globe spinning faster laugh

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Hi,
I've ordered Audiophile on December 17. Today, January 8, tracking says: Item delayed - stay tuned for updates. Should I wait for Audiophile Version 2025 ?

Furthermore, PG Music declares: "We offer an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee on all PG Music products purchased directly from us. If for any reason you decide that the PG Music product is not for you, simply contact us within 30 days of your order and we will refund you the purchase price of the item"
My order is dated december 17 + 30 days gives January 16. It is almost impossible to apply this rule when delivery is so long.

Of course, next year I will not upgrade audiophile anymore.
Regards

Angelo, contact PG Music ASAP and explain your situation. They may extent your 30 days trail as they have excellent customer service.


I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

Hi,
after 4 weeks in Canada (Canada Post) and 2 days in Italy (Poste Italiane) I have received this morning the Audiophile HD.
PG Music should seriously find a better alternative to Canada Post. I remember that last year I received the HD in 1-2 weeks.

Very sorry to hear of this unexpected delay. PG Music shipments are generally very speedily expedited. Subsequently, the progress through the postage channels is likely to be beyond their control.

I definitely received my 2024 update in a matter of days.

Mine came really fast, in 7 days, 4 days ahead of schedule. Minimum problems related to Spanish customs (5 minutes to inspect the parcel + 13.8€ to be paid to the postwoman).

With VAT pre-paid and the low value of the goods (the parcel does not contain any license, just a physical backup), VAT + custom duties should be zero. But then I had to pay the couple of minutes to make a decision (8€ VAT included) plus the paper and ink showing me the 8€ invoice (5.8€, a joke provided that the receipt was an e-mail! ) XD

Anyway it was fast and with a happy end. And the 13.8€ had nothing to do with PGMusic.

I mention because I think it has been better than I expected.

Ever since the world wide shutdown, mail has been very tricky. Plenty of things that are promised overnight are now not making it overnight etc. We are living in a changed world.


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

I'm still waiting for the dollar to drop write down before upgrade, at the moment it's ridiculous:
479.00 US Dollars =
730.81424 Australian Dollars

1 USD = 1.52569 AUD
1 AUD = 0.655442 USD

Yes, that really hurts.

Just pay in USD! Sorry bad joke. That is a ridiculous exchange rate!

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!

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."
