There is a Band-in-a-Box 2015 build 414 update available (Dec 19)Download the build 414 Update. (320 MB) This patch will update Band-in-a-Box 2015 to Build 414 from any previous 2015 build. Audiophile users can download this larger Audiophile update instead, which has some .wav specific updates. You don't need to download this if you already downloaded the previous BB2015 (413) audiophile patch. If you have build 412 or earlier, you may wish to download the full 2015 update patch (includes some additional RealTracks updates that were in the previous patches). The patch installs many RealTracks updates; make sure to select the correct RealTracks and Drums folders so those files can be updated. Summary of Changes for Version 2015 Build 414 (Dec 19, 2014)- Improved: Save as video dialog. Codec selection now available. We recommend CVSM MS-CRAM (Windows Video codec), or "Auto" but you can choose different ones.
- Fixed: Save As video now follows settings for no-lead in, and works correctly in fakesheet mode. Always renders Video as stereo now.
- Fixed: Auto updates dialog, handles European date formats correctly.
- Fixed: StylePicker 'other styles found' incorrectly listed some new styles.
- Fixed: 85BPM RealTracks strings, including (1TrackStringSection styles), were sometimes not playing.
- Updated: RT207, 217, 220, 225, 227 - More style demos added.
- Fixed: RT210 - Removed unneeded HiQ assignment from demos.
- Fixed: RTBonus Rockabilly - Custom FX RealStyles may not have loaded Amplitube presets correctly.
Summary of Changes for Version 2015 Build 413 (Dec 17, 2014)- Improved: Enhancements to Save as Video (for upload to YouTube etc.) function. Updates include better sizing of video, video artifacts issue on non-Aero themes fixed.
We have made a video tutorial about the Save as Video feature, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMstMeW6QbA&feature=youtu.be - Fixed: New features button links to proper webpages.
- Added: Some additional Shots and Holds for the most recent instruments.
- Fixed: Some demos songs with incorrect Hi-Q assignments.
- Fixed: Audiophile version crash when some specific holds files were used.
Summary of Changes for Version 2015 Build 412 (Dec 15, 2014)- ** Major feature added **:
Save as Video. Now you can save your Band-in-a-Box song composition as a video, that you can upload to YouTube or work with in video programs. Just press the [Save as] button and choose 'Save as Video'. The 'video' portion is the chordsheet in Band-in-a-Box that shows the chords and a highlighted bar moving as the song plays. Song title and song info displays at the top of the window. For example, you can make a backing track for a cool chord progression, and upload it to YouTube for others to play along to. Do a visual transpose and upload a second version for Bb tenor sax players. - Fixed: When no mp3 codecs were available and render was chosen to mp3, program was sometimes locking up.
- Fixed: Icon changed for 2015 new features in some menus.
- Fixed: Most HiQ instruments have been updated - fixed tuning problems and one sustained note problem.
- Improved: RT207 - A new RT - Horn Section, Rhythm, Funk 2-part, Ev 110 (Simple with Space) adds space between riffs and sounds more like a background style.
- Fixed: RT 208 Rockabilly - RealStyle fixed.
- Fixed: RT 209 Baritone Sax - RealStyle fixed.
- Fixed: RT 210 Motown - Style Demos Audio added, some song demos updated.
- Fixed: RT 211 Motown - Demo fixed.
- Fixed: RT 212 Synths - RealStyle and demos added for Synth, ElectroFlutes, Rhythm Pop Ev 085
- Fixed: RT 216 Jazz Pollwinners - updated/fixed demos and styles.
- Fixed: Audiophile version crash when a specific P&W holds file was used.
- Updated: StylePicker list updates for new styles.
- Updated: Documentation and help file updates.
Summary of Changes for Version 2015 Build 411 (Dec 5, 2014)- Fixed: MIDI SuperTracks instant demos work from the MIDI SuperTracks Selection Dialog.
- Improved: Bar Section Letters show on the chordsheet at small font sizes.
- Improved: When using Bars Per Line or BigNote mode on Leadsheet, offers to deselect Fakesheet mode, because Bars per line is not active in fakesheet mode.
- Added: Checkmark added to the Bars Per line menu to show current setting.
- Fixed: 6% Relative Tempo setting was not working.
- Improved: Recognition of acid chunks for loops improved.
- Fixed: color selection menu wasn't working.

Just an FYI
1. Downloaded patch 414 (full version)around 800 MB in size.
2. Started the patch as administrator
3. 1st screen shows it being build 414
4. Click next
5. 2nd screen shows it being build 413 update
6. Afterwards started BIAB and it does show build 414.
7. Not a big deal but words do mean things and this might confuse others.

Little bug. I tried to use a .cda file right off a cd in the ACW. I got a popup, but there was no text in the dialog box. I clicked OK and used a proper file, but the empty popup dialog box appears to be a bug.

General question when updating the audiophile versions on the original USB disk. Is it normal to run the update on the original BIAB2015 USB disk version? I ask as normally it's best to keep the original update media as delivered but as it happens I prefer to use the original USB disk so all the WAV files don't need to be copied to my PC HDD. I did my updates direct on the original USB disk for BIAB2014 but thought I'd ask this time in case this time around I corrupt the original USB media. I can make a back up of the original media to my NAS drive but not everyone has this option so curious as to the PG Music recommendation for audiophile users. Thanks for any guidance
Regards
Rob
