For me, the new Xtra Styles are not showing up when one selects "Xtra Set 11" in the "Show Xtra Style Sets Only" option in the StylePicker Menu. The group appears on the selection list (I have 1-11) the others all show successfully in the StylePicker Menu when I select each other group 1 - 10 individually.

I have refreshed the StylePicker twice, and the new individual styles show in the unsorted menu as Xtra Set 10? Two rebuilds of the Styles have been done, and the program shut down and restarted a few times. This happens in both the 32 bit, and 64 bit versions.

Perhaps they are mislabeled, it would appear the Xtra Set 11 styles are showing up in Xtra Set 10 (which now has 400 styles) !

For me a quick workaround was to select to "show only Xtra Set 10" and then sort them by date, then select the ones dated 2021-04. Hope this helps.

The program can check for updates, yes, but by design it considers the most recent update a beta version for awhile, and does not offer it. It’s better to look on the website under Support and check for updates yourself.

The PG office is quite empty at the moment, since many of us are working from home. This is quite a shame, as I'm sure we all miss seeing people - or at least I do!

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."
