For the new forum software, you’ll want to go into preferences and find your time zone (mine is -5 hours) and Save your preferences.

Thanks -- yes, it previously went by server time offset value in hours, and now it's based on actual time zones, defaulting to no time zone (UTC)
It would make sense for us to try and apply a sensible time zone for existing users based on the offset value. But yes, otherwise a visit to Preferences and select a time zone from the drop-down menu.

I figured it out fairly quickly, One interesting observation is that it automatically observes if Daylight Saving Time is operating at the nominated location. This is a bonus as previously I had to change the offset twice a year. Good one smile

Observation Question:

Since I am in Springfield, Missouri, USA, which is currently -5 behind UTC, when Daylight Savings goes into effect on November 5th, will I have to go in and change the preferences manually to -6 behind UTC or will the new Forum software correct it automatically.

It will be interesting to see.

It worked for me straight out of the box. Melbourne Australia is normally UTC +10 and UTC +11 during DST.
We are currently in DST.
When I selected Melbourne Australia for the timezone, it was automatically already showing UTC +11

Well, Trevor, from my viewpoint, you're already seeing posts from tomorrow.

The Lotto bit is a trade secret I can't divulge. You see, it's already tomorrow here when it's actually yesterday where you guys are. We already have all the answers grin

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.

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."
