Dear friends,
I was using an old version (BIAB 12 I think) on a non-pro macbook when I came browsing to the site and went through all the video about the new versions that handles real tracks....
I'm willing to purchase the everything pak on hdd, it would be lovely if I could directly run the app from the hdd, thus making it really the "box that holds the band", and making it easy and convenient to swap between my two mac at home and one at work (too bad there are no cross versions hdd, so that the magic box could be swapped between mac and windows too!)
I'm not sure however if this is possible. I only have BIAB on one mac, do I need a previous install on other macs to run the app or is it self contained? Is anyone doing the hot swap process? Let me know, I'm eager to place the order and receive the jewel at home!
Beside that, I do live in Italy, do I have to purchase the product from this site or somewhere else? Where is the disk being posted from?
Cheers

Hi
I don't think you would have any trouble running off the MacBB hard drive, plugging into different Macs.
The only thing I'm aware of that would need installing on each Mac would be the PG Fonts (for notation and such).
It is also possible to install MacBB on your internal hard drive, run MacBB, open the RealDrum and RealTracks preferences dialogs, and tell MacBB to look for the RealTracks and RealDrums folders at another location. So you could run MacBB (which doesn't take a lot of space to install) from your internal drive, but use the RealTracks (which do take a lot of space) from the external drive.
This could have advantages especially if some of your preferences are different on the two Macs. Maybe the Macs would have different MIDI setup assignments or different preferred main window size or colors or whatever. Since those prefs are saved in a Preferences folder in the Band-in-a-Box folder, if you had just the minimal program installed on both Macs, it would allow each Mac to remember its own preferences, but read the RealFiles from the external drive.

Cool, it sounds it works exactly as expected! I'll go on with the order then!
I try to keep mac as sleek as possible, even if they lack a garbage registry index, so i'll go with the idea of running everything from the hdd!
