Hi guys
It has been a few years since I used the program due to illness but I thought I might like to try it again,only this time on a Mac.
Yes I know I'm on the wrong site but it's just a basic question.
I have put this question on the Mac forum but it is'nt very busy there.
I can get the Pro Pak as an upgrade and I was wondering if this was enough to catch up with all the improvements there have been since I last used it.
Thanks
Alan

Hey, Amigo. You've really been missed 'round these parts, padna. Maybe you ran oot of fuel for your planes. Something snatched up Russ about that same time.
Guess what? Nokie Edwards of The Ventures fame, wants one of my original BIAB guitar tunes for a forthcoming album to be released in November. I sent 34 originals to him on Friday. Unfortunately, he's in Alaska until August 27th. Darn!
If you haven't upgraded recently, version 2013 for PC is simply awesome. I especially like the improved Soloist feature.
Not acquainted with the Mac version but I'm sure you'll love it.
Anyway, welcome back. I hope that you are fully recovered and we can collaborate again very soon.

Alan, I wish our mutual friends here could hear the fabulous guitar work that you did for me on Hank Williams' "I Could Never Be Ashamed Of You" but, as a cover, I don't think it qualifies here. If I understand correctly, my Motagator site pays all fees and royalties so I'm going now to move it to the top of my playlist. It's presently the last song.
I simply love the pseudo pedal steel sound that you got out of your Strat.
Thanks so very much.
Oops, Motagator is upgrading today! (Beautiful Paul!) so I'll move it ASAP. You can't hear it at the moment anyway.

Don I am humbled that you still remember that piece and that you hold it in such high esteem.
It was a pleasure to do it for you,and if I am honest I listened to it myself just a couple of weeks ago,It brought back memories of my time here on the forum and all the special friends I made.
Thank you
Alan

Alan, this is a cross post only because I don't know how to re direct you to a post topic I started a few days ago re: Nokie Edwards of The Ventures. Here he is pickin' on Buddy Holly: http://youtu.be/PHg5qijLFK8Nokie is now in his late 70s and has had recent health issues. Our friendship dates back to the early 70s in Seattle when I first got out of the Army. Probably 1970-71. I know that you like Britain's Shadows, well The Ventures give cause to believe the Parallel Universe Theory, they sound so much alike.

Hi Keith
Thank you for your kind words.
I will never completely recover from my illness,it is being managed
at the moment and I cope with it,nothing else I can do,but I will not
give in to it.
Hope you are keeping well.
Alan

Yo Alan,
Good to hear from you.
Here's something you might think about:
Band in a Box for Windows runs just fine on Macs running Windows Emulator software.
Matter of fact, Peter Gannon has told us on this forum that he *develops* Band in a Box for Windows on a Mac Lapbook, running one of the Windows Emulators, Bootcamp or Parallels, I forget which one, but you could easily find out via PGMusic Support.
You already have the Windows version of BB, right?
And - The Windows Version of BB has more features available than the Mac version.
Do it this way and there is not new learning curve, everything will be where it "used to be" and all...

Hello Mac
So nice to hear from you as well my friend,it's been a long time I hope you are well.
I unfortunately do not have the PC program anymore,it was on a computer that the hdd corrupted and
during a house move I can't find the disc.
I was aware that i could run windows on my Mac,but I thought the Mac version would be more stable.
My copy of Win7 is still on my PC which I don't use anymore,I don't know if I could run it on my Mac as it is already registered to the PC.
I will have to make some enquiries.
Thanks
Alan

Already done that Mac and as it is so long ago they pointed me to the
Updates.
I have been in touch with support and had a very nice chat with them,I have decided I will
go with the Mac version as I have Logic Pro X as my DAW,and probably the BIAB MegaPak.
Thanks
Alan
