This is the sort of thing I'd like to see in BIAB. As I generally have little to no need of RealBand, MultiRiff would be a nice feature in BIAB.

I'm not sure what you mean by the term (no RB on Macs), if you could outline the concept a bit?

Icelander,

Two HUGE advantages RealBand has over (the Windows version of) Band-in-a-Box when working with RealTracks concern features unique to RealBand.

Feature 1: With Band-in-a-Box a complete track is regenerated but in RealBand you can highlight a track section then regenerate just the highlighted section.

Feature 2: With Band-in-a-Box you regenerate as many times as need to get the track the way you want but in RealBand you can not only highlight a track section for regeneration, you can specify "multiriff" regeneration. When "multi-riff" is engaged, the section will regenerate seven times. The seven regenerations can stay on the same track or occupy seven empty tracks. You audition each separately then check off the keepers.

My guess are most likely the most used features of RealBand and the reasons why many people start to use RealBand.

Because I consider BiaB an accompaniment program and RealBand more of a track editing program I do not agree with this request.

Fair enuff, thanks for the info... sounds to me like all of the above should be a part of BBox from the get go, unless as you point out, people like this sort of separation between the two applications.
Personally I don't, but that's of course just because I'm being deprived of one of them altogether as a Mac user.

The only feature in RealBand I will ever want is the ability to generate RealTracks on demand bar by bar. If they moved that into BIAB I would only use BIAB and be able to eliminate the RB step from my workflow. And NO, I am never going to use RB for my DAW!

Precisely what I was getting at, they should be striving for making this a single program.

There is a way here though it just needs a bit of Tweaking by PG.

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."
