Anyone else see this when listening to the online demo for the style _BOMB (Bomb Organ Shuffle Blues)?

It is on RT Set 383

The audio demo on my PC sounds just fine.

The online demo starts with the lead in rim beats on the drum and then the 1st 8 or so measures are of very low sampling quality. It then returns to normal quality for the rest of the demo.

Ya, just as you described. But since this intro is such a unique and distinctive effect it makes me think it could be intentional?

If that was the case, you would think that the hard drive version of the WMA sample included with BIAB would play the exactly same way as the online version. They don't.

It really is a startling audio effect. More folks should listen to it

That is an intentional effect, where the first 4 bars are intended to sound like an old AM Radio, and then it kicks in with the proper-sounding style at bar 5. That particular demo is one of the "Songs With Vocals" demos. For styles that have a "Songs with Vocals" option, the program automatically switches to the online version so that these demos will play rather than the original demos.

That being said, it would be great if the user could actually decide whether they want the original demo or the "song with vocals" demo. I will make a suggestion that that feature be added for future versions.

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."
