Will band in a box become a real Daw?
I believe that would be more popular.
Compared with other Daws, band in a box has many features, such as chord input and instant music generation to track.
Today's interface is really not like Daw
If we don't change quickly, I'm worried that band in a box will gradually become a software for practicing guitar

Have you tried RealBand? It has very similar features and is more DAW-like.

Thinking further about my above reply, perhaps it would be better to become more familiar with BiaB at the moment before venturing and exploring other products. There already is a big learning curve for you with BiaB smile

If Band-in-a-Box becomes a DAW I will be through with it.

BiaB is an accompanying software where it will generate backing tracks that you can, if you so desire, transfer to your DAW.

As suggested if you are on a PC then you already have what you want, i.e. RealBand. Basically it is BiaB in a DAW form.

YMMV


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Agreed.

BiaB is accompanying software with many, many, many - (too many?) - additional features.

DAWS are not meant to be, see or do the same thing, and visa-versa.

One path, of course, would be if PG acquired "SuperDAW".

But even in that case, I would say, "Please take all those new engineers and put them to work on the stuff that makes BIAB what it is. Carve SuperDAW up for parts and focus on BIAB. I don't need another DAW."

The software was made for practicing guitar and a lot of users will still use it for that or Live shows.
It has gradually become more like a DAW now with the extra Util tracks as many user want to stay in Biab as it is quick to generate.
If it becomes a DAW it will be behind other DAW's a bit like RealBand is.

The BiabVST will work in ANY DAW of your choice, it just needs more development as I suggested for Instant Generate & Play that is one of the reasons users are staying in Biab.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
