PGMusic doesn't pre-announce. If you want to go on past performance, Mac versions roughly come out in March and September.

Thanks for your reply, I'll hope for a March release as I can really use some of the new Real Tracks!

I've been waiting for the Mac version of BIAB 2012 for a month or so.
I started with BIAB on PC many years ago before Logic was bought by Apple.
My impression of the relative quality of the PC and Mac versions of BIAB is making me hesitate even further.
It seems from outside like the software engineering practises at pgmusic are a bit backward.
Until I see some positive comments from Mac BIAB users, I'll probably be keeping my $ to myself.

Yup that fixed it. You held back the money and pgmusic laid off the band in a box mac programmers. Way to go. You single handed, have scuttled the update. Nice.

I'm all for Mac and parity. Heck I even like mac and cheese once in a while. When are they going to sell the same laptop for parity with PC's? For the same money as a Mac book, you get a screaming ultra fast tricked out pc, that does not yell status symbol whenever you open it.
As soon as apple gives me parity on price for a laptop, I'm buying 2 or 3. And demanding pgmusic move out of Canada, where we practice backwoods software and softwood lumber development. Once americanized, pg would recognize the error of it's ways and fix this. As a Mac pc is double the price, and because way fewer people buy the software, it has to be priced 3 times more than the pc price, but you'd be ok with 1800 bucks for Band in a Box, with RealBand thrown in right?
I'm on board.
Once the Mothership figures all this out, expect an announcement any day. Until then...sigh.O

Cropleyb,
How about looking about 7 messages up, where you'll see this:
"Thanks for a truly great program!!"
Have Fun!

Hi Gitarman,
We don't have any projected release date. We are of course continuing to develop the Mac version, as we have for the last 23 years.
Have Fun!

@John - LOL. I nearly had an explosive expellation of coffee on my overpriced macbook pro incident!
@Cropley - dude, BIAB is the best practice tool any musician can buy, bar none. I only wish they had an affiliate program as I know of at least 20 students who've bought based on my recommendation!!! I run a weekly magazine for bass players and I ran a tutorial column on how to use BIAB to practice with that ran to 20 Columns! (Been meaning to turn them into screencast videos....but as with everything it's time....).
@Peter - please don't take the critiscism in this thread as being representative of the Mac community. I use BIAB every.single.freaking.day as both a practice tool and teaching tool. is it perfect - nope, but what is? Is it excellent and worth every penny - yes!
Quick Question: will the 'adding your own loops' feature be present in the Mac version? (Irrespective of the answer I'l be upgrading on release day....can't wait for the Motown style real tracks).

Hi,
I repeat myself: BiaB is a great programm and I am happy with it: Thanks a lot PG-Team and especially Mac-Programmer. (I have made every audiophile update for the Mac since available and will do so as long as my money allows it.)
I suppose, it is a matter of economics/cost effectiveness, that the Mac version is somewhat behind the windows version, and the repeated complains of being afterwards are understanable, but in vain. Thanks Peter for the announcement, that you are continuing to develop the Mac version.
Especially to John Conley‘s comment: a repeated example of not ironic but most destructiv and superfluous emission. (If I understand his comments right with my untrained school-English not practiced for over 40 years; and if I am wrong, please apologize Mr Conley.)

Hi again.
Seriously, here is what I want from BIAB and/or other products.
I am using Logic Studio and Garritan's Jazz and Big Band instruments to compose many short instrumental pieces.
I would like to be able to use BIAB to generate tracks that I could use in my compositions. Yes, it's cheating, but hey.
The features that I would specifically like are:
- To switch instruments and/or styles at an arbitrary point. (several times)
- Unusual time signatures
- Export both audio and MIDI per track
- Export MIDI CCs for effects such as vibrato, pan, volume, cutoff, pitch bend
- Export MIDI CCs for RealTrack performances
- To use Logic and JABB instruments from within BIAB
My impression is that many of these features are in RealBand (for Windows), not BIAB for Mac.
Does anyone use BIAB and Logic like this?
Thanks,
Bruce
