Hallo Wolf,

Version 7.0 ist ja aus der BIAB-Steinzeit, ich glaube von 1997. Inzwischen gibt es ein halbes Dutzend Windowsversionen und mehr als ein Dutzend BIAB-Versionen. Ich glaube nicht, dass Du BIAB 7 auf Windows 7 vernünftig zum Laufen bringst. Da hat sich bei BIAB und Windows zu viel getan.

Versuch mal Rechtsklick auf die .exe-Datei von BIAB und wähle dann im Kontextmenü "Eigenschaften". Windows bietet dann den Reiter "Kompatiblität" an. Dort kannst vom Windows 95-Modus angefangen diverse Einstellungen und Anpassungen vornehmen. Vielleicht hast Du Glück. Aber vermutlich wirst Du um ein Upgrade auf die aktuelle BIAB-Version nicht herumkommen. Auch hinsichtlich der Funktionen des Programms sind inzwischen Welten vergangen.

Jepp, so isses.

Hab mit dem 7.0er jede Menge Probs gehabt wie zBsp Intros, Codas ect zu erstellen oder zBsp einen Auftakt ohne Chord.
Hoffe, das das alles leichter jetzt ist.

Ich hab mir jetzt das 2011 bestellt zu 119 Bucks.
Das ist doch komplett, oder?

Wo ist der Unterschied zu den nächst höheren Preisklasse, nur die Anzahl der Styles oder was noch?

Eine Version zu 119,- kenne ich nicht.
hier ist eine Übersicht:

http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.htm

Der Unterschied ist immer der Lieferumfang. Bis Mega Pak gibt es nur ausgewählte RealTracks.
Alles drin ist ab UItraPlusPak, darüber gibts nur noch Lektionen, Videos und Songs zusätzlich.

Das empfehlenswerte UltraPlusPAk würde dich als Ungrade von Version 7.0 jetzt 299 USD kosten. Bis vor 14 Tagen gabs das im jährlichen Weihnachts-Special für 179 USD. Das nächste Special mit dem Sonderpreis kommt aber erst wieder im Sommer.

Ah, ok. Das ist die kleine Pro Version. Wenn Du mit nur 3 Styles (von 77) den wenigen RealTracks und nur einem Drumset leben kannst, die richtige Wahl.
Bei dem geringen Umgang hätte sich ggf. die Downloadvariante direkt bei PGMusic gerechnet. Die kostet als Upgrade von Version 2009 und früher 79 USD = ca. 58 Euro. Die deutsche Lokalisierung mit dt. PDF-Handbuch gibts ja kostenlos als Download.

Kann man die Version im Nachhinein weiter ausbauen?

Klar kann man Styles und RealTracks als Sets nachkaufen. Ist aber wie beim Auto: Extras hinterher kaufen ist immer teurer, als gleich im Paket als Ausstattungsvariante.

Aber schau mal beim dt. Vertrieb www.M3C.de
Die verkaufen BIAB 2011 noch bis zum 28.2. in dt. Fassung und im Karton zu Sonderpreisen. Klicke bei Upgrades:
Die kleine PRO kostet da als Upgrade von den Versionen 1 bis 2009 nur 59 Euro.
Für 99 Euro gibts das MegaPAK, das immerhin schon alle 77 Midi-Styles und 70 von 600 RealTracks hat, statt der 3 Styles in der Pro-Variante - immer noch 10 Euro weniger als bei Thomann.

Das UltraPlusPak gibts da als Upgrade für 209 Euro. Dazu würde ich Dir raten, wenn Du das ausgeben willst/kannst. Sind letztlich auch nur 90 Euro mehr als Deine Thomann-Bestellung und hat alle Styles, alle Drums und alle RealTracks dabei. Gerade die RealTracks sind eine Revolution im Vergleich zu Version 7 und Midi.
Und alles ist auf einer USB-HD, die ja auch einen Wert von um die 30 Euro hat. Da hast Du gleich ein Backup. Denn das Gesamtpaket hat einige Dutzend Gigabyte. Vom Preis/Leistungsverhältnis eindeutig die beste Wahl. Hast ja noch 14 Tage Zeit zum Überlegen. Die Thomann-Bestellung kannst Du ja zurückschicken.

Würde das bedeuten, das ich, wenn ich das von dir empfohlene Paket nehme, meine alte 7.0 Version benötige?

Versteh ich nicht ganz.
Meine 7.0 Version krieg ich ja nicht mehr installiert.

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.

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.
