Hi from Down Under  I've just ordered the Everything Pak on a 160GB hard drive, which should arrive in a few days. My question is - can I run this on two Macs? I have my main 27" iMac with 27" extension monitor in the studio, but also have a Macbook Pro 17" Given that the Everything Pak can be run from its own HD, can I just install it on both machines (i.e. The shortcuts to run it etc) and then just move the supplied HD from one machine to the other as necessary, and run BIAB from either? If so - what about songs? Can BIAB save songs to Dropbox, for example, so that I can access the same song that I'm working on from either computer? I travel a fair bit, and the ability just to grab the BIAB HD and take it with me along with the Macbook Pro, and work on the songs via Dropbox, would be fantastic. Any help much appreciated. -- Pete, Brisbane ============

If you use the USB drive, no worries. It works a treat. Install your shortcuts and rock. However, there may be better news. If you read your EULA I believe it says that you can't RUN BIAB/RB on more than one machine at a time. I think it's okay to INSTALL on more than one, perhaps in anticipation of the exact situation you describe. This would allow you to take advantage of the full performance of your PCs. Having said that, I'm sure I'll back quickly and forcefully if I am in error. The good new is that I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.  Richard from "Up Above"

Thanks for that Is there actually much advantage to installing it ONTO the computer, or does it run just as well from the USB drive? And does anyone know if it will work with Dropbox? Can I save songs to Dropbox, and access them from another computer to work on them? As long as I'm only using BIAB on any one computer at a time? Thanks for any further help -- Pete, Brisbane ============

Hello Pete, For the official answer to installing on multiple machines, I'll quote our EULA: Quote:
PG Music Inc. License Agreement
CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS BEFORE COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION OF THIS SOFTWARE. USAGE OF THE SOFTWARE INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
LICENSE
A. The program may only be used on a single machine.
B. You may transfer the program and license to another party if the other party agrees to accept the terms of this Agreement. If you transfer the program, you must either transfer all copies, whether in printed or machine readable form, to the same party, or, destroy all copies not transferred. This includes all modifications and/or portions of the program merged into other programs.
C. You may receive the program in more than one media. Regardless of the type or size of media you receive, you may install or use the media on a single machine.
D. The program (including any images, “applets,” photographs, animations, video, audio, music, and text incorporated into the program) is owned by PG Music Inc. or its suppliers, and is protected by international copyright laws and international treaty provisions.
If you have any questions about this feel free to contact our sales department. If you're on the go, you could always uninstall it from your home computer and install to your mobile computer.
As far as reasons why you would install on your internal drive, you may experience a slight performance boost if you install it on your internal drive; as the lower bandwidth of the USB connection could be a bottleneck. I imagine the activities that would be faster would be any that involve loading information from the hard drive into memory, such as when the program is being opened or when generating RealTracks (the first time, at least, while they are loaded from the drive into memory).
Kind regards,
Will
