Hi all.
Before installing BIAB 2019 Pro Upgrade, I deleted my old BIAB MegaPak upgrade 2015 folder just to make sure I had no problems or conflicts.
So here is my question: I still have the ability to download/re-install the components from my 2015 version: Pro Real Combos 1 + 2, Mega RealCombos 1, 2, and 3. Would these work with my 2019 version of BIAB? Would you recommend doing this? I'm using latest Mac OS 64 bit. Not sure if the old 2015 add ons are 32 or 64, or if that matters.
If I can do this, is the install straight forward? Just curious.
JL

Yes, the content is compatible with 2019. You should install it (the Mega files, and then install the 2019 files "over top" and it should be straight forward.

Thanks Andrew.
What is "over top"?
Do you mean that before I can install the 2015 stuff, I need to un-install the BIAB app first, install 2015 downloads, then re-install the 2019 app? I already installed everything from the new 2019 Pro Upgrade. Do I have to start over?
Thanks.

You don't need to remove/delete/uninstall anything, just leave it there. Install the "RealTracks/Combos" content you have from 2015. Then install (again) the 2019 program to make sure you have the latest data files.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
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."
