BBW is one of the cleverest apps on my system. It's invaluable, and I use it almost every day.
However, it is the worst-behaved app on my system. It crashes almost every time I exit it. If I suspend the computer while BBW is running, it crashes, and the bbw.exe task cannot be end-tasked, so I must reboot.
There are also numerous bugs and non-standard interface issues that I can work around, but find annoying.
Can I expect that the 2012 version is a major improvement in this regard?
Thanks,
Al

System Specs?
On a newer system it is pretty darn stable. Can't vouch for how it'll run on an older system.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Al, yes, it is quite stable. I do remember some of those 'white screen hangs' but I haven't seen one in over a year. Even in beta testing, we tried but couldn't crash the program. And yes, there has been two and half years of normal bug squashing.
Of course, there are many substantial improvements in features since then, too. Perhaps one of the more surprising for you will be that the size of the whole program installation is only about 35% of what it was, thanks to a new algorithm for the RealTracks, yet the sounds and flexibility for tempo stretching are better than before. With the new smaller footprint on your hard drive, you have room for a few hundred new RealTracks since your version.
As John said, the computer requirements have gone up a bit, but I run on a 2007 Core 2 Duo with no trouble. If you do have a really old machine, download and run Geekbench and post your score here, and we can make a general recommendation. Even on older machines, there are checkboxes that can help when running on slower systems.

there have been times when I thought BIAB hung, but it turned out there was a modal dialog box open in the background. Next time it hangs, try to tab through the open instances to see if a dialog appears. If one comes up, close it.

regarding your initial question: In my opinion the changes made since 2009.5 have been nothing short of game-changing. (Especially if you like real tracks and the other audio features) The ability to make high quality songs quickly in BIAB has gotten MUCH better since 2009.5, and the ability of RealBand to continue generating content as the project is fine tuned has also gotten better. Since 2009.5 the real tracks are much more dynamic, and they also take up less space and sound better If you go to the video page and look at the videos for every release since 2009.5, I think you'll see a LOT of things that interest you. http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.demos.htmIf you don't, check your pulse.

I used to get the hated 'application has stopped working' dialog box with the older versions (could have been 2009 or older). I have always upgraded to each new version and have in the last year moved to Win7. Somewhere along the way the crashing stopped. I recall that it had something to do with the Roland vsc that was the issue for some (including me - it didn't happen with true midi). I think it is still a problem for people with 64 bit Windows and Roland, but a new synth is available (Coyote) that works with 64.
As Pat Marr said, be sure there isn't a rogue dialog hiding somewhere in the background, and at times even now BIAB / Windows will show "not responding" in the title bar even though it is still working at some task and comes back to life on its own.
Your system specs would help in nailing down a better answer to your questions, but I think the upgrade will not only solve most of what you describe but you will be impressed with the new features as well.
Good luck.

OK, thanks guys, I guess it will be worth $59 to upgrade.
I'm on an XP SP3 laptop, T2300 1.66 GHz, with 2.5 Gigs of RAM.

If you get stuck you can swap your bone for the new plastic type I saw at the Music Store today for $120 bucks. It said "NOT A TOY" LOL. No there was no bass bone with a trigger and a bell so large you can't see the conductor. (BIGGER LOL)
That plastic bone might be less likely to freeze up, which is a condition here if you leave it on the permafrost while you have a beer your brass bone gets frozen like the monkey's you know what.

Al, You said ... Quote:

Please be aware that the entry level upgrade does not offer all the features that the above users are talking about. As I understand it, $59 will update the BIAB engine and give a few Realtracks and Realdrums.
I can't remember how many Realtracks version 2009.5 had but in the full blown ver. 2012 there are over 600 individual Realtracks in 154 sets as well as 29 sets of Realdrums. By comparison, the $59 seems to offer 30 Realtracks and 1 set of Realdrums.
If you are thinking of buying and can possibly afford it, I'd highly recommend the UltraPlus Pak upgrade for $159. It gives you the complete set of Realtracks and Realdrums and pretty much everything else you'll need.
Given your above computer specs, if you are thinking of purchasing, I suggest you send an email to info@pgmusic.com and ask if the latest version of BIAB will run sufficiently well on your system. I believe that the new stretching routine uses a little more horsepower than the stretching routine used in BIAB 2009.5.
Hopefully other users will read this and add their input.
Best regards,
Noel

Good advice, but the way I use it, even the new features are useless to me. I just use it to practice (I actually play much more piano than trombone), and printout charts. IOW, I use BIAB to substitute for the bass and drums in my trio.
I choose a tune, record my playing over it, and play it back to listen.
I don't care how good the different realtracks sound. I don't care about VST synth, direct input guitars, audio effects support for each track, audio loops, easy selection of drum grooves, Texas blues rock styles, soloists, etc.
I just want to run it without problems. I don't want to waste time rebooting my computer.
So perhaps I should just find a way of preventing the crashes instead of upgrading. What do you think?

Al,
Maybe it's time to give Support a ring on their toll-free number or drop them an email, etc. Contact details can be found under the Support link at the top of this webpage.
Good luck,

I think you're right, Al. Much as we all want to support PG, I certainly understand the not-much-money-right-now thing. You might seriously want to try a full uninstall/reinstall, because I've been using BIAB since 2006 and it simply doesn't crash on any system I've had, whether XP, Vista, or Win7/64.
And, as Pat says, sometimes one of those silly dialog boxes just won't come to the front without coaxing, and you think you've crashed when you haven't.

I just upgraded to 2012 and it crashed. I suspended the computer, then restored it, and BIAB crashed. I checked for hidden dialogs, but didn't find any.
Also the # staves bug is still there (choose auto-set, and it won't have enough staves for the entire tune. Set it to 9 staves, and only 8 will appear. This isn't rocket science.).
Just the installation showed that PG Music still doesn't get the concept of Program Files and Documents.

Al, in your two threads discussing your crashing problem, I don't think I saw a mention of what your 'simple MIDI' interface is. That could help, as well as giving us your settings in the MIDI Devices dialog.
I don't recall ever reading a report about the staves printing problem. Did you report it before?
Peter Gannon recently gave an excellent explanation of why BIAB should not be installed into the Program Files folder. That's not where you have it, is it?
What is your laptop's Geekbench score?
Have you run the DPC Latency Checker to see if you have any drivers that interfere with audio?

Al, I mentioned the the below in one of you other posts. I thought I'd also mention it here just in case you don't check back on that other post. Regarding ... Quote:
Also the # staves bug is still there (choose auto-set, and it won't have enough staves for the entire tune. Set it to 9 staves, and only 8 will appear. This isn't rocket science.).
Have you allowed for the fact that the title, composer, etc., take up a stave line on the first page? My experience is that when I set the stave to (say) 9, the first page has 8 staves plus a title line (= 9 lines) and subsequent pages have 9 staves.
Also, after coming out of "suspend", how long did you wait to determine that the program had crashed?
Regards,
Noel
P.S. I use Encore as my main notation program and it too gives one less stave on the first page owing to title, playing info., and composer.

Hi TromboneAI
My view is that BIAB 2012 is just the same app under the hood, no major rewrite, though it badly needs one. The addition of VST support though implemented as an ad hoc add on to an old architecture thats creaking at the sides, is still a game changer.
I am Guessing that PG will implement a whole rewrite of this app in 64 bit and possibly abandon the ancient structure which BIAB currently depends on. I too have all sorts of issues with BIAB, more than any other application, however there is no question that BIAB is the best accompaniment app on the market and Real Tracks are fantastic. Its worth the upgrade price for the new sounds.

Yes, I realize that that is what is going on -- that the title takes up a line. That is now mentioned in the help. But it's still a bug. If you look at your tune and see that it takes up 10 lines, you'll set "Number of staves" to 10. Then you'll print it, discover there are only 9 staves, so you have to go back, set staves to 10, and print it again (or use print preview).
The docs for Auto-set read:
"Band-in-a-Box will set the number of staves per page for you. This will be set when you enter the Print Dialog box, or change the range that you want to print (first /last chorus or whole song). This will be done to try to fit your printing onto 1 page."
Sorry to be snide, but the documentation for Auto-set should read "When you select auto-set, Band-in-a-Box will set the number of staves such that the last line of your music will be missing."
Note also, that the auto-set check box is ignored if you make any changes to the number of staves (e.g. set it to "3" and select auto-set, and it will display 2 staves). But then the next time you come back to the print setup dialog, it will have been changed.
Quote:
Also, after coming out of "suspend", how long did you wait to determine that the program had crashed?
Good point, but I think I've waited long enough, and have also spend something like 10 minutes trying to figure out how to kill bbw.exe without rebooting.
Note that the problems occur in other situations that don't involve suspending the computer -- that's just one way of reliably inducing the error. I'd estimate that 30% of the time I exit BIAB, I get a message saying there was a problem, and that it will send data to the producer of the app. I haven't taken the time to figure out exactly what it is that I am doing that causes these.
I'd like repeat that I think BIAB is a wonderful application. It's both the best and the worst app on my system. The basic problem is that the geniuses that came up with it, aren't familiar with standard windows conventions.
BIAB is like an incredibly strong, agile sports car with the accelerator pedal on the left, and the brake on the right.

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
