Thanks Bob. Also Matt about the playback equipment. I was going to reply about that playback comment also but I deleted it since I already typed up a storm here lol. Right now I have nothing quality for my playback. My speakers on this pc are a joke. I don't have all that you speak of. So I am sure I couldn't tell the difference 9 times out of 10. Maybe on a few files I would say oh yes I here a little difference here. This one sounds better.
I guess it is a couple hundred dollars more to go with the Audiophile. And I am getting a hard drive which is worth about 50 dollars I think. So I am essentially paying 150.00 more. I will debate on this. It is just when I create my masterpieces it might be nice to know the quality is the best I could get it. But if that is the case I should record my BiaB tracks for my songs. Then hit a professional studio for my vocals. A place that can really help me make it great. But who knows how much that will be. Probably a bundle.
I guess I will just do it all myself. I am not going to be a star with my albums. Just people occasionally buying one on a blue moon. Independent artist enthusiasts from all over the world will be my albums. Maybe I will make 50 dollars a month selling them. That is success to me lol. Really producing this with the regular Real Tracks would be all I need.
Making this 679.00 investment isn't too bad in my mind. From what everyone says I should get my money out of this. Especially since I have songwriting skills. I have written many songs in my life. And BiaB can finally bring me up to a very professional level. My guitar strumming with Bare-Bones demos get old. And my fake country voice is out with those basic chord songs I wrote. Though basic chords can give you million dollar songs. I am moving up to the Great American Songbook! I like to sing Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Perry Como, Tony Bennett now. I try and emulate their tone. So with my new songs I write with BiaB I would like to have my own tone. But even when I do try and emulate Sinatra for example it is obvious I am trying to sound like him. But I am sure only like his red headed step child might do lol.
I think my voice with my Band in a Box productions will be like Sinatra but I have to pull back on from him some so I have an original sound. I keep rattling on this forum about my BiaB dreams lol. Hey at least I sound better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. The Great American Songbook is hard to sing. You have to be a trained singer to do it or you just sound bad. So that means I sing some songs and sound very nice. Then others I might need some work. At any rate enough being BiaB type happy here. I am going to get creative that is all I can do. Will I be famous? No. Will I get rich? No. Will everyone love my songs? No. I don't care.
Who knows though. I might do something sp great that someone could stand up and take notice. At least making me out of a professional songwriter. This is the reason BiaB will be worth the money for me. If I was a great piano player and musician I wouldn't need Band in a Box..but then again maybe I would. I would build my production from it. Get it all structured. Timing perfect. Add my drums and bass. So yes even if you are a great musician it could be worth your money I bed. I just hope they get this 2014 very early in December. I don't want this to be another 2013.5 wait that never happens. I am not buying this thing until the latest version is out that is for sure. Some guy on here I just read him saying he just purchased this. I thought oh bad idea. He will miss out on all the new real tracks. So hopefully he will be able to get it upgraded for free.
I better get going. I have Album Covers to prepare!!! WOW!!!

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."
