"Pretty please" can we soon have some badly needed fixes for BB Mac 2025
I don't know of any other pro-audio app developer that waits so long before even a version X.01 release is put out.
What gives?

What problems are you looking to be fixed? I haven't seen many complaints about the 2025 for Mac release.

"Pretty please" can we soon have some badly needed fixes for BB Mac 2025 4 months is quite a bit longer than in previous years. Normally, we've seen two or three fixes by now. What problems are you looking to be fixed? I haven't seen many complaints about the 2025 for Mac release. Then there is this. How much of what you want to see are bugs—documented functionality that does not work—and features that you want to see? I know that there is a multi-display issue that affects some but Apple has issues that still haven't been resolved—been working with Apple since my Mac Studio showed up two years ago and some have been resolved. When I ask for specific details about setups, I don't the answers I need. Since I don't read minds, I still don't know what might be BIAB and what might be Apple. To refresh: I ask for the exact models of the monitors being used and exactly how they are connected and into which ports.

bugs fixed.
Nothing else Mike.
no new features.
( but truth be told theres plenty of Apple audio-app devs - whether MacOS or iPadOS/iOS - frustrated whth audio related OS bugs down to Apple - and the poor - often undocumented support devs get )

Or maybe - truth be told - you dont see them because I - like many beta testers - submitted them off "public record" privately to PG devs. But the bugs are real. Plenty reported from me. And many others. PG know about them.

We don't have visibility to bugs reported in the Mac part of the forums, so we don't know anything about them. That's why he asked. I'm also interested to know. How bad is it?

I asked because I do not remember reading any 2025 BiaB for Mac bug reports in the public forum.
The BiaB for Mac release always appears to be much smoother than the BiaB for Windows release based on feedback posted in the public forums.
Also I asked because it generally is easier to address specific issues versus general comments.
Since the issues were published in the Mac beta forum why wasn't this thread published in the Beta forum? Aren't the two spaces normally kept separate?

My understanding is that Beta testers are not supposed to disclose that they are part of that program.

[quote=Jim Fogle]What problems are you looking to be fixed? I haven't seen many complaints about the 2025 for Mac relemase. I'm also interested to know. How bad is it? Bad enough to stop me from using the product "in anger" to compose or work on anything "producer-wise" until the bugs are fixed. Until then its just a cool tool for having fun and practicing or working on my jazz/blues guitar chops/licks etc. Such a shame.

My understanding is that Beta testers are not supposed to disclose that they are part of that program. All the bugs in question are now in the PUBLIC V1.0 2025 release. They're not bugs on some upcoming off-limits from public unreleased version. if PG want to punish or ban me posting or commenting for breach of beta policy so be it - but might be a better use of their time and resources if they just fixed the bugs.

The beta thread is meant to be only for a BETA version of their apps. The bugs in question are now NO LONGER IN BETA!!! But if pressed I'm happy to share all the bug reports here. But it makes no difference at the end of the day. PG know what the bugs are.

You have to tell us exactly what you are trying to do and how it is not working—be specific and walk us through it. No one here wants to read your bug reports. Save those for Tech Support.

It's like phoning your mechanic to say that you don't like the way your car runs and expecting him to know how to fix it without explaining what the problem is that you are experiencing. Step by step actions, expectations and results are needed. This can benefit everyone - us and PG Music

Mac Book Pro 2019
Sonoma 14.7.8
BIAB 2025 (902)
I posted this issue in another thread, but it also suits this one, since it deals with a likely bug in BIAB 2025 for Mac:
Mi BIAB has total access to the disk and all the permissions.
The issue is with midi sounds since the moment I used the Medley option, thus:
Track settings and actions dialog / Medley / Change to a new Real Tracks every / 8 bars / OK / Play.
Everything sounded as expected, but from that moment on, the GM sounds are behaving crazy: when I play back a MGU file with midi sounds, the piano plays the percussion part, and the other instruments are either silent or holding all the time a single note. This aplies to both new and old MGU files.
If I save a MGU file as a MIDI file, and play it back with a midi player, it sounds fine, but not when played back from within BIAB: even the audible lead-in instrument is a piano, instead of the expected default side stick.
I would appreciate any help to solve this issue.
Luis

You do realise you’re contradicting yourself don’t you! On the one hand you say : <“ If you do not tell us what is wrong, no one can help you. You have to tell us exactly what you are trying to do and how it is not working—be specific and walk us through it.> And since far as I can tell you’re NOT a PG Music employee I assume by “us” you mean folks here in this thread. Then you go on and say: < “ No one here wants to read your bug reports. Save those for Tech Support.”> Er… what?? And I already told you I’ve already submitted bug reports to PG. And PG devs can always contact me via PM , email etc if they need more information as to replicability . Make up your mind

Chai sir what mike means is as users we would love to help but if you do not give a detailed report on the forum no one can help you.
Yes, you sent a bug report to PGM but it really helps to bounce the issues here. PGM only has so many systems to test bugs on, but the user base has thousands. Many times, we find solutions that you may not have thought of that will help you to work until PGM works things out. Another reason for posting problems is that often what one of us thinks is a bug is a glitch in our personal setup. That can cause PGM to chase ghosts and waste time hunting a problem that does not exist globally.
These are just suggestions. You can choose to ignore or not up to you.

Chai sir what mike means is as users we would love to help but if you do not give a detailed report on the forum no one can help you. Exactly. You must walk us through your problem step-by-step. Either we can duplicate it on our systems or we can't. Either result is valuable. Oftentimes, we can see the user error and post how to avoid it or suggest a workaround. Sometimes we can verify an actual bug and submit it ourselves. A bug is a result of a documented action that gives contrary results. If the documentation states that, to accomplish x, you follow steps a, b, c etc. and that doesn't work, then it's either a bug or the documentation is incorrect. What is not a bug: I want the app to do x but it won't — that's a feature request and you've made many. There's nothing wrong with that but you might not get it in the current version or ever. Apple will drop Rosetta 2 with macOS 28 which means that BIAB 2027 for the Mac will need to be Native but it will not happen before. Yes, I am experienced in reading bug reports but I am just another user and do not work for PG Music so I do not want to read yours—I don't care about them. If, however, I am attempting to verify what you are doing and that generates a crash log on my system, I will read that and see what it tells me.

This aplies to both new and old MGU files. Firstly, welcome to the neighborhood. As articulated above, other users need more detail to be able to help. - what styles were used? - what steps were taken? - what was the result? - what was the expectation? - what were previous results? - can you explain the difference between 'new' and 'old' MGU files? It's just so difficult for us forum end-users to analyze and reproduce with no baseline to work form.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
