October 13, 2011 BB Remote App for Android - Now Available

BB Remote is "Band-in-a-Box Remote Control" - a remote control for the desktop Band-in-a-Box for Windows program.

When using Band-in-a-Box for Windows, you may want to be somewhere else other than sitting at your PC as you play songs. For example, you might want to sit at the piano, or at your music stand, or be sitting on the couch with your guitar in hand.
The BB Remote app installs to your Android device, and then connects to the desktop version over a Local Area Network (LAN), even over the internet.
The app has different screens, accessible by "swiping" the screen to the left/right, including a main Chords Window, Conductor Window (for live control of BB), and a Mixer Window.

The BB Remote App for Android is available from the Android Market.

Important: You need to have version 2011.5 or higher of Band-in-a-Box for Windows to use the program at all.

October 12, 2011 The Newest Band-in-a-Box 2011.5 for Macintosh Patch Update is Available!

Summary of Changes for Build 38:

•Fixed: On a few systems, RealTracks and RealDrums were out of sync. Band-in-a-Box now automatically tests your system to determine if an offset is needed for perfect sync, and makes the adjustment without any user intervention.
•Fixed: On Lion, dragging and dropping a file from the BB Screen (DragDrop area at the top left) to the Finder, would result in an alias file instead of the file itself (unless you held the command key). Now it works without creating an alias file and you don't need to hold the command key. Note that the files in the DragDrop folder are now located in your /Users/Library/Preferences/Band-in-a-Box Drag Drop folder, instead of the Applications/Band-in-a-Box folder. You can view this folder from the Band-in-a-Box - DAW Options button -- "View Drag Drop Folder".
•Updated: Band-in-a-Box 2011.5 Manual updated.
