Hallo

bin neu hier und interessiere mich für den Kauf von BIAB Megapack.
Ich habe das Programm mehrfach gesehen aber bisher noch nicht damit gearbeitet.
Ich bin Sängerin und Gitarristin (Country/Bluegrass, Folk, Blues), meine Notenkenntnisse sind schlecht bis gar nicht -
Gitarren Akkorde beherrsche ich gut.

Folgender Sachverhalt:

Die englische Version von BIAB wird derzeitig online rund 100 Euro unter der deutschen Version vermarktet.
Eine Menge Geld.

Meine Frage an diejenigen, die sich gut auskennen mit BAIB aber sich dennoch in einen Anfänger versetzen können:

Wie wichtig ist die deutschsprachige Version für jemanden, der des Englischen nicht mächtig ist?
Ich bin Französin, spreche sehr gut deutsch aber bei englisch hapert es.

Ist das Programm intuitiv zu erlernen, auch in englisch für mich ?
Gibt es irgendwo ein deutsches Handbuch bzw. Tutorials?

Und käme ich damit wohl klar?

Vermutlich käme es wohl auch drauf an was ich machen will.

Im Wesentlichen die Erstellung von Midifiles (Realfiles), auch zur Weiterbearbeitung in Studio One.

Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe.

Hallo Sandrine,

die englische Version reicht für dich völlig aus. Eine deutsch Sprachdatei zusammen mit einem deutschen Handbuch als PDF Version gibt es kostenlos -> hier. Wenn du eine deutsche Version über M3C beziehst erhältst du ein *gedrucktes* deutsches Handbuch. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob PGMusic gedruckte deutsche Handbücher ausliefert -> einfach mal bei Sales nachfragen.

Viel Freude mit Band-in-a-Box

Hallo,

ich habe wegen des Preies auch die englische Version(Update) gekauft, per Internet wegen der Einkaufsprobleme von Amerika, man braucht etwas Geduld beim Runterladen und dann beim Installieren. Beim Erstkauf lohnt sich evtl doch der Kauf bei M3c in der Hdd-Version mit Handbuch.
Ansonsten kann die englische Version, wie hier schon gesagt mit der Sprachdatei "eingedeutscht" werden. Eine vorbildliche Lösung bei dieser Software.

Edit: die vielen Erläuterungen in einer Sprache zu lesen, deren man mächtig ist, bedeutet für ein so komplexes Programm einen enormen Vorteil, ich würde es auf jeden Fall empfehlen.

Hallo Sandrine,
intuitiv halte ich bei diesem Programm für problematisch,da es sehr sehr komplex ist und ich als Deutscher und nicht Handbuchlesenwollender,auch so meine diversen Schwierigkeiten habe.(Habe mir das Programm auch erst vor kurzem gekauft und warscheinlich erst an der Oberfläche gekratzt)Meine Notenkenntnisse sind auch nicht berauschend,(spiele auch Gitarre)aber man braucht ja auch nur Akkorde in BiaB einzugeben.Die Ergebnisse sind wirklich sehr gut.Im Forum ist ein Link zu simplysax Youtubeseite,die einige deutsche Videotutorials für BiaB gemacht hat.Auf der englischen PG Seite gibts auch jede Menge englische Tutorials.

Gruss Gerd

Hallo

bei mir (genau: bei meinem Freund) ging der Download RuckZuck und der Support hat uns sogar ganz schnell den German Language Link geschickt -

Was nach wie vor fehlt ist ein Helpfile oder besser noch ein Handbuch in deutscher Sprache.
denn ich muss Gerd bereits nach dem ersten Eindruck recht geben:
Bei einem so vollgepackten Programm gestaltet sich die reine Intuition etwas schwierig oder zumindest zeitaufwändig. da ließe sich manches abkürzen.

Ansonsten freue ich mich auf weiteren Austausch mit euch hier in diesem Forum.

hallo Martin,

besten Dank. Den Link hatte ich gesehen. Das ist derselbe, den PG Music mir beim Kauf der englischen Version gemailt hatte.
Der hat auch schön seine Arbeit verrichtet und mir das Programm auf deutsch gepatcht.
Aber Helpfile und Handbuch sind nach wie vor in englisch - und gerade auf die kommt es mir an.
Vielleicht kann jemand mit einer älteren Version dienen?

Kommando zurück. Ist jetzt alles in deutsch da.
Verstehe ich zwar nicht, denn das war nach Ausübung der Exe zunächst anders - aber wie auch immer: jetzt passt es.

LG und Danke

Sandrine

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)!

Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
