Hallo,

habe mir heute die neuen Jazz-Realtrack-Sets 13 bis 19 gegönnt und installiert.
Sind mal wieder etliche Gigabyte auf die Festplatte geflossen. Hat sich aber definitiv gelohnt, auch wenn der Dollarkurs für die Einkäufe beim Online-PGMusic-Shop derzeit nicht mehr ganz so gut ist wie noch vor kurzem.

Beim sichten meiner Realtracks und Realdrums-Ordner sind mir nun aber noch vereinzelte ältere .Wave- Dateien untergekommen. Als .wma würden sie erheblich weniger kostbaren Plattenplatz wegnehmen. Die eingebaute Archiv-Option wandelt mir aber nur .wave-Dateien, wenn davon gleichzeitig eine .wma Fassung vorhanden ist. Das ist aber bei den Dateien nicht der Fall - warum auch immer.

Weis jemand, welche Einstellungen man genau wählen muss, wenn man die .Wave.Dateien selber mit einem Konverter in .wma umwandeln will? Oder ist BiaB hier in Bezug auf die Bitrate nicht so wählerisch?

Gruß Ralf

Hallo Ralf,

bei mir haben die wma-Dateien je nach Instrument verschiedene Parameter, nur die Abtastrate von
44kHz und die Abtastgröße von 16Bit ist überall gleich. Die Bitrate und die Anzahl der Kanäle ist überall anders.
Es könnte aber auch sein, daß in den Ordnern, die nicht gewandelt werden, keine bt0-Datei liegt.

Gibt es die neuen Styles schon als Upgrade-Pack, oder muß man die einzeln kaufen?

PS: hab´s schon gefunden: "All That Jazz" RealTracks PAK

Hallo Albrecht,

die Sets (#13 bis #19) gibt es für je 29 Dollar oder im Paket zusammen für 59 Dollar = derzeit ca. 44 Euro. Habe letzteres online gekauft und bin sehr zufrieden. Die Sets sind ihr Geld wirklich wert und werten die Jazz-Styles ungemein auf. Darauf habe ich gewartet! Vor allem die Blasinstrumente und der Bass sind top. Die Jazz-Gitarre geht so, hier gibt es noch was zum Schrauben für PGM. Aber die spiel ich ja letztlich selbst zum Playback, also Hauptsache die anderen Instrumente stimmen. Alles ist aber um Klassen besser als Jazz mit SW-Midi oder ForteDXI oder anderen Synthies.

Wegen der wma-Wandlung werde ich jetzt mal experimentieren. Habe mit WMA wenig Erfahrung, da ich früher nur mp3 und neuerdings - seit ich den Ipod habe - Apple-AAC-Formate verwende. Mal sehen, was man da beim Konvertieren machen kann. Übrigens liegt der Realtracks-Ordner (alle Sets) inzwischen bei >17,7 Gigabyte Umfang, dazu dann noch 16 GB Realdrums - langsam wird eine neue Platte fällig. Werde mal mit einer externen USB-HD experimtieren, auf der dann alles untergebracht wird.

Gruß Ralf

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."
