Hi,
BIAB demands more and more disk space, and the great feature of RealTracks works more satisfying with a faster processor. To make it short: I bought a new notebook with Win7 (64 Bit) and an Intel Core i7 processor. Wow - generating RealTracks is really fast now! But there was one problem: Using Native Instruments Bandstand synthisizer made some stubborn problems. I couldn't install and update it correctly, it always stayed in Demo mode. So, I had to select Bandstand each time anew when I started BIAB and, far more disturbing, demo mode only gives time for 30 minutes!
I don't want to tell you how often I tried installing, updating and registering Bandstand. My patience was very challenged. Here's the solution for those of you who are facing the same problem with Bandstand (which is still a great program!)
Solution 1: Win7 is an UAC controlled system. Registering Bandstand needs administrator rights which normally are not gven in the default settings. So one solution is to change the UAC settings to the most unsafe settings. (just enter UAC in the Win7 program window and change the settings). This works well. The problem with this: You will not want to go into the internet with such an unsafe setting!!! Therefor you will have to change the UAC settings each time when you use BIAB and back again when you want to do 'normal' things with your computer.
That's why I decided to use
Solution 2:
Give administrator rights to BOTH Bandstand AND BIAB. First: Assign administrator rigths to Bandstands VST-file "BandstandVST.dll" (Dirctory C:\...\Bandstand\VST\BandstandVST.dll" on my computer, depending on where you installed it) If you don't know how to do this please ask a computer expert, because I only know the german terms for the things to change here. Second: Run BIAB with administrator rights. To do this, right-click on the BIABs "bbw.exe" to open its properties, change to Compatibility and give a mark at "Run the program as administrator."
When you use this solution #2 the only uncomfortable thing is that after starting BIAB you have to click once more in order to accept that BIAB is allowed to make changes on the computer. But it won't do that. Instead - you can work with Bandstand as you did before with Windows XP (in my case).
Hope I could help some of you with that. It had taken me days of trying and searching for these solutions. By the way: Bandstand is no longer developed by Native Instruments. But important tips came from Native Instruments email support. Thanks to staff members there!
Greetings from germany
Ulrich

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.

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."
