Saxfred: I am under the (unconfirmed) impression that the 2014 PlusPAK download for $99 is the way to go for most users that have the 2013 UltraPlusPak or the 2013 EverythingPak. I guess you would need to know if there is anything "extra" in the 2014 EverythingPak that is not in the 2013 version. I just talked to PG sales. You may want to get the $99 upgrade AND the Bonus 12 Pack for $25. The 12 pack includes the FREE 6 pack, but also 6 more goodies. http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.bonuspaks_2014.htm

Thanks Peter, I was able to view the video on Youtube. This was a bitrate issue then.

Anyone know how much the upgrades are going to cost in January? Is it substantially higher? History says YES, unless PG should choose to extend the sale, which none of us would be able to predict unless and until that happens. Historically, you save $$ bigtime by purchasing before New Year's Day. --Mac

Peter -
Wow, just wanted to say thanks for the fast delivery of my BIAB 2014 hard drive. I ordered it Monday evening and the FedEx man delivered it Tuesday morning - you blew Amazon Prime out of the water!
Give those guy and gals that work behind the scenes in shipping a raise!
Take care!

Hello,
at first I wish you a good and blessed New Year 2014!
Then I want to say thanks to Peter and staff for your great work with BIAB in it's new version 2014!
I was reluctant this time to uprade. But since I got to experience with it yesterday I can say: it was good for me upgrade. The workflow in finding suitable styles and realtracks alone makes version 2014 worth for me. But there other items, too, that are fine.
But there is one thing in the new GUI that I'm missing: the Combo-Boxes for the melody and the thru harmonies.
I'm working a lot with these harmonies, and that is difficult now. When I open a song, I no longer see whether there are harmonies in it or not. Well, the Memo-button reveals the melody harmony - somewhere ;-) - and I seee that there are "Short cuts" like "Alt F10", Alt F11", "Ctrl F10" and "Ctrl F11".
But these solutions are not really short ways to find and change these harmonies.
There is so much empty space in the new GUI on the right hand side of the song parameter section . Could you please fill in the good old Harmony Combo Boxes there? That would be great for a even better workflow.
Thank you!
Best greetings from germany
Ulrich

Addendum:
if these Combo Boxes for the harmnies aren't useful for the majority of the BIAB-users, it might be a fine solution for all to add an option in the Preferences menu to show / hide these boxes.
Greetings from germany
