Our latest video release is our Band-in-a-Box®: Count-in & Metronome Tutorial! By default, Band-in-a-Box® has a two bar count-in. Watch this tutorial for a quick explanation of all the options available within this feature!

How may I use the metronome during playback in the Mac version ? It seems to be different in the Windows version with a metronome icon... is there a lot of differences between the Mac and the Windows version of BIAB ? I can't find the same possibilities in the preferences control panel...

thanks for the video albeit to me and Mister Magoo that video shows that it was created in Windows ( for Windows ) whereby the " how to " instructions are for Window users

After further discussion, it's agreed that although this feature carries over to the Mac version, the video created with the Windows version perhaps isn't ideal for Mac users. With that in mind, we've updated the video to state Windows.

Stay tuned for a Mac specific video about this feature!

...or update the mac version so that it has the same count-in functionality as the windows version so there's no need to make mac specific videos wink Having a count-in on loop selections within a song would also be awesome smile

Agreed those are nice suggestions to add to the Mac Band-in-a-Box wishlist. More people may see, agree and support the suggestions once they are posted in the wishlist forum.

Already posted there back in May last year. Surely I can't be the only person to see this as an extremely useful addition to the Mac version?

At the moment, in the Mac version, you can only have metronome during playing if you are recording.

Great! If I see a suggestion I've made come up in a new thread I sometimes try to find my initial post, copy a link to the initial conversation so others can easily view the comments, add their thoughts and support the idea if they desire to. It is much easier for PG Music to see one idea supported multiple times in one post than to find multiple posts about the same idea. If nothing else you can then add "see, this idea has been floating around the forum since _______"

Thanks for the advice Jim smile

I added the wishlist request in May-17.

Band-in-a-Box Wishlist Forum: Count-in for looped chord selection within a tune (BIAB Mac)

And also here in May-18 with a link to a video demonstrating the issue, as I thought I must be doing something wrong

Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh Forum: Can I set a lead-in for looped sections of a song?

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."
