That way when someone answers my embarrassingly easy question I won't have to hide...

I just received my 2011 "EverythingPAK". Where are the video tutorials? Am I blind?

I received a note with mine that said the New Features video will be emailed to me separately as soon as it is available. It was an insert in the upgrade manual.

Yes, I received that note too. I'm talking about the "Band-in-a-Box Video Tutorial PAK". My previous versions were MegaPAKs so I have never watched the vids and was curious.

I ordered the EverythingPAK too and although I haven't received the drive yet, once I ordered it took me to a download link where there were 11 or so download links. One of them was an exe for the video tutorials. However, when looking at them they seem to be kind of old (2009 version).

I am not sure where the download page is now but you probably should have gotten it too. Maybe someone can tell us where to find this now after we ordered???

I did the Custom Install from the USB drive to my hard drive and ended up with a link to the Video Tutorials in the Start Menu.

Or, if you use Windows Explorer and look on the USB drive, and navigate to the folder:

\PGMusic\Programs\bbvideos\VideoTutorialPAK

you will find a file called "Video Tutorials.exe" Run this file and you'll see the tutorials start.

Hope that helped.

In my case being an ontologicalist evolves into a unique form of brotherhood. Perhaps you Kant understand all of it...Cogito, ergo sum

I do not have the folder "bbvideos" in the "programs" folder on my USB drive. My "programs" folder contains the following nested folders:

BluesPianist
bpsolos
FlatPickGuitarSolos
JazzGuitarSolos_Vol1-4
metronomePro
PianoMasterClassVol1


Anyplace else to look or did I get an incomplete setup?

according to the online Latin to english dictionary, this means "I see, therefore I am"

However, I tried to see what the Latin word for COPULATE was, and hit a dead end.

So now I'm confused. Maybe it means Mac is adding up the number of Italian police officers whose cars are in motion.

Or not.

Well if I had the knowledge those cats have I think I'd have to be a bit of a smarta$$, at least part of the time.
