I got it this morning at normal speed, so something may have happened since about 7 AM Eastern time or so.


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

Just tried again and yes it is very, very slow. I am on a 1Gig fiber network and normally this size file would be 5 to 10 seconds. It was showing around an hour plus or minus a minute or so.

If one of you could post or PM me your traceroute to nn.pgmusic.com, that would be extremely helpful for the network folks to diagnose the problem.

This can be done using the MTR program:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/winmtr/

Additionally, if you could test this link and tell me if the same thing happens:
https://demos.pgmusic.com/support/patch/bb2021_win_update_build814.exe

Also, here is an alternate link for the patch so you can get the file. No feedback needed for this link.

Andrew ...

I have tried both the original download link and the alternate link. Both are extremely slow After almost fifteen minutes, both still show almost half an hour remaining. (I tried them at separate times - not simultaneously). I am located in Alabama. I have a 300 meg, fiberoptic download connection and this size file should take littler more than a minute or two to download.

I just waited it out and it too about 45 minutes for the download to complete. I installed the updater to both my external HD and to my C drive. All seems okay.

The first link is a little better than the support page link, mine hovered around 23 to 25 minutes vs. an hour on the other. The alternate link (dl14.pgmusic.com) downloaded in 3 seconds on my 1 gig service.

RB 3c DL is still incredibly slow via the provided link.
I messaged Andrew with a tracert and MTR output.
If you have problems, use this link (with the previously provided URL) -

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.
