On the Windows side of BIAB 2017, has anyone noticed any changes in performance after upgrading to Build 468? I’ve noticed a much slower opening of the picker dialog window of both the real tracks and real drums icon----the real drums dialog being much slower of the two. They still work, with a little more wait time involved. The styles picker is fast, like always. No changes in settings have been made except for the latest upgrade. Just inquiring.
PG Support told me to re-install update 467 until they can get some bugs out of 468. I called this afternoon (EST) to report that my BIAB refused to open since I had installed 468. I'm running PC Windows 7.
I re-installed Update 467 and BIAB is opening and running fine again.
just an old analog dog tryin' to learn new tricks...
It looks like 468 has just been pulled. No longer available to DL. ... Ian
I just checked, and 468 is still there to download as of 4 hours after your post. I compared it to the prior version I had downloaded, and the file sizes are the same.

Hi Matt. How odd. If I go to the Support header, then Windows Software Updates, the link for 468 is Live but if I click on it it takes me to the Build listings of which 467 is the top one. As it happens, 468 seemed to work OK for me - for what I do anyway - but I've gone back to 467 just in case.

Tried it on windows 10 64bit, seems stable, made a new style from a MIDI file recently, turned out quite useable. .... Though i haven't been using BIAB a lot lately, so loading delays i cannot confirm; i am curious, and 467 seemed OK for me ... F
468 is still available as the first item at the top of this forum (biab for Windows) This is the normal place for new builds before they move into the main downloads after a while testing . Normally it says considered a beta

Absolutely true, Mike. It takes you straight to it and auto downloads 468. It does not say its a Beta this time. However, the note I posted as above still remains true. It's gone from the Support page menu. Just me being a Pedant. Ian

Probably a good idea to re-install 467 and RB 8. RB wont even start on my machine after being sort of fine. Very unlike and unprofessional of PG Music to reamin silent and let customers sort the issues out.

Well, went back to 467 .... too many annoyances like a malfunctioning note editor & more .... F
Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!
Download and install this to your RealBand 2024 for updated print options, streamlined loading and saving of .SGU & MGU (BB) files, and to add a number of program adjustments that address user-reported bugs and concerns.
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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
