There is a Band-in-a-Box 2015 build 415 update available (Jan 20)Download the build 415 Update. (120 MB) This patch will update Band-in-a-Box 2015 to Build 415 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 audiophile patch, since there are no new audiophile-specific updates.) If you have build 413 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 415 (Jan 20, 2015)- Fixed: Loops dialog was sometimes showing a division by zero message when adding certain loop.
- Fixed: mp3 dialog was showing blank messages sometimes.
- Fixed: div by zero when changing acid loops.
- Fixed: BB wasn't remembering window size position for next bootup.
- Added: Now remembers the 'output chords' setting between sessions.
- Added: 'Normalize individual tracks' checkbox option to the Render dialog.
- Fixed: Drag and drop single tracks were not normalized.
- Fixed: Drag and drop single tracks were not acidized.
- Fixed: There were hidden controls in the StylePicker Filter.
- Fixed: Updates dialog was not displaying information on multiple RealTracks patches.

- Fixed: Some acid loops were not being read properly.
- Fixed: Some acid loops were not being recognized.
- Fixed: Some memos for new RealTracks were not showing up.
- Improved: RockabillyRockNRollKevin Ev 165 (RealTracks and MIDI SuperTracks) has additional work done so it doesn't cut out as often in chord transitions.
- Fixed: RealTracks artist names Steve Mackey and Rob McNelley were misspelled in a few places.
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.

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.

Andrew, don't know if this has been fixed or not. Have latest version, Christmas present and up-loaded build 413 or 414 forgot whitch. Anyway, When I am in the middle of any song, playing it that is, and open another file to play. The software hangs up. I have to hit the stop button, and restart the new song before it will begin. It trys to play the new song from the point it left off in the old song but freezes up. This never happened in 2014 bb. Have you ever heard of this happening? I can get by with what I have, but bb not up to par for which I'm use to. Thanks for you help in advance. I am at work now so can't see any fixes you might share until tonight. regards, David

Andrew, I have an issue since installing update 415. When I "check for updates" it pops up a window saying that Updates are available but it is an old (Dec 2012) Realtracks Simple ST2 update. Surely that cannot be right? Wouldn't an update as old as that have shown up before now? Thanks Rec

Rec There was a date interpretation problem with an earlier 2015 version. The best thing to do is to get the latest upgrade from the download area, and this issue should be resolved for future 'latest updates' tests. Trevor

Hi Trevor,
Are you saying that the version 415 patch on the support page is newer than the one at the top of this thread? I have downloaded both and they look identical.
Just to be clear I am running on version 415 having applied the patch at the top of this thread yesterday and did not get this problem with earlier versions (414, 413, 412 etc).
Thanks

Hi Rec, no, sorry I probably confused you. 415 is the latest. I thought the date problem would be fixed by now but maybe it isn't. PGM mentioned to turn of Auto-check for updates in this threadYou are probably getting an incorrectly interpreted date also, or they fixed one and broke another. You should probably report to PGM support. Cheers Trevor

Rec Sometimes they watch some threads, but there is no guarantee that this item will be seen. At any rate, going directly to support will at least get it logged. Sometimes responses can take some time though, so expect a wait period... Trevor
