Mike,
Try using RealBand to open your Band-in-a-Box file. Once the file loads save the file under a new name but keep the same file suffix (SGU or MGU). You may find once the file is used and saved by another program the file works. Sometimes opening a file with a different program will have the side effect of repairing the file. RealBand can open files with both the SGU or MGU file suffix. Hi Jim, it worked! Thank you for this tip! I then loaded the file with the new name in BiaB and waited trembling, whether after the process "Generate and Play" again the noise from the UA-101 can be heard with immediate BiaB crash - he did not come .... super, Great. So I have saved a lot of work (and time) with the new harmony and arrangement work.

Sometimes the simplest solution is to 'Save As' and rename it, as this writes the song to a new location on the hard drive and can eliminate some hardware issues. Just a thought. Correctly! So it is .... thanks for the support.

Meaning time for a 'checkdisk' with 'fix errors' ? I will make. My system is only a few days old, but a check will not hurt ...! Thank you!

I do this every time I have a major change to my songs. I label them songtitle, songtitle-1, songtitle-2, etc. If you need HD space just delete those songtitles that lead to your finished piece of music.
A good thing ... I will do in the future ... learn from the experience of others can never be wrong ...!

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."
