i've been using BIAB and RB for years but got stuck a couple of times recently. live chat sorted me out. if you're stuck, try it if you need help.
the live chat from lots of companies is useless........i find the person on the other end often knows less than i do but PG is different.
i found it pleasing that the person on the other end was someone i knew from the forums. in one instance chantelle and the second was simon. thanks guys.
they do know their stuff and sorted me immediately. so try live chat if you need help - its fast and effective.

I agree, for most things it is a quick easy solution, with little headache
Thanks for adding this feature to the PGMusic site
While I can't make any guarantees, even after hours I have sometimes got a response fairly quickly, so worth a shot even then

Plus you get to chat with lovely people like Chantelle and I, so what's not to love?

I wasn't aware that with Live Chat you can leave an after hours message and receive an e-mail response the next day. Pretty neat and nice to know.

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."
