11,000 entries and the winner announced yesterday. This tread in Reaper forum links to the announcement and sums up the drama and controversy.  Hugh, I'm sorry we did not hear your name in the list of 5 runner ups or the winner!  https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=239021

Thanks musicstudent for the commiserations .WOW what a controvesy.
I didnt check Reaper yet so I must do now but what I see is summed up like this
1 11000 entries were meant to have been judged in a max of 24 days not possible and then they said we had a series of trained judges after the fact
2 The winner maybe either worked with or for a Judge
3 The winning entry clearly broke the rules by changing the audio
4Its hard to know is the Super Mario effect copyrighted and thus is a rule breaker,it def inst original
5 The announcement itself was a huge damp squid with no explanations etc
To add to this many comments felt the winning score had nothing to do with the actual scene and was cartoonish but if their were no other issues I would say that thsts the judges choice to pick that.Some of the score I actually liked and if it hadnt super mario I would have liked it alot more.
As for me I learned a couple of things 1 I loved my piece of music 2 Scoring although time consuming is so easy compares to writing a song with lyrics and vocals etc So much easier . Overall Spitfire HBO snatched defeat out of the Jaws of victory in a big way .I have to say Im surprized how badly they got it wrong but WOW what a fiery debate One last thing the judges didnt seem to understand their own scene at all which is a bit of a shocker and I hope that it doesnt discourage other companies from holding competitions with good prizes

Hi MS,
Had a look on Reaper threads and I think that the bad losers comments are really unjustified .Anyone I saw werent expecting to win at all but after putting so many hours in and to see the carry on by Spitfire .I put 40 plus in as I am a slow worker but even at 10 hrs the frustration felt by because more than likely didnt hear your score was the thing that annoyed most people ,Anyway We can put it down to 2020

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.

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."
