Just wondering how much biab upgrades usually cost at this time of the year i.e. 2017.

Well... It depends on the type of upgrade you are in need of... If I remember well: $ 49 for the program upgrade without any bell and whistles... and last year I paid $ 169 for the upgrade plus the 49 add-on pack with add ons and bonus real tracks...

colly,

Since you have the UltraPlusPak...

In the past, there's been a special deal for upgrading the UltraPlusPak or EverythingPak to the latest version with all the latest bells as whistles for US$100 (download). This has been a favourite choice of mine over the years and has allowed me to keep up to date for a great price.

Bonus paks are sometimes included free, sometimes included at a special price or a combination of both. Bonus material always stands outside the normal update. I tend to look at bonus packages as 'special release' material.

Last year, I noticed that the upgrade to the Audiophile edition was excellent value, too.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Noel

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Colly. I appreciate it.

My experience is that PG Music always look after us well.

As others have said, updates have always occurred early in December for Windows editions and mid-year for Mac.

Thanks.

If you're serious about the + sign, one way to do it is to quote my post and strip away everything else.

?? Perhaps you are using a keyboard layout different from what is used in North America?

Seems to me the last few versions have primarily been about RealTracks/styles and not a ton changed in the code/functionality or interface. I still spring for them, because I don't have a motorcycle or gamble in Vegas or whatever mid-life crises are supposed to cost. I WOULD like to see some surprise beyond a new Gypsy/Jazz Klezmer fusion.

There has typically been a new Windows BiaB release every year in December.

Now THAT sounds interesting...with bluegrass. Never forget the bluegrass. Hmmm, Night in Tunisia in a Gypsy Jazz/Klezmer/Bluegrass style.

Yep, that'll work.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
