Hey Gang,

I'm rearranging a tune that has a 6/4 bar in it, but every time I try to change it in Bar Settings, it gives me an error saying "Value entered is out of range." What am I doing wrong?

KC - you'll need to split it into two bars. Our program manual has an example for 6/4:

...we will split the 6/4 bar into 2 bars, a 4/4 bar and a 2/4 bar. Insert a # beats per bar =2 at the beginning of the 2/4 bar, then restore the time signature to 4/4 by assigning # beats per bar =4 for the next bar


You can find more information about this in the Settings for Current Bar topic at https://www.pgmusic.com/manuals/bbw2024full/chapter6.htm#song-editing-features

It's so convoluted the way it displays the bars. I mean, it goes back to beat 1 on beat 3 of the next bar. But then I have to add 2 more beats to every bar so beat 1 comes in ON BEAT 1. I'm going to post a scrnshot so my English makes sense.

I think possibly the problem is that all the bars had been entered as 4/4 first, then bar 23 was changed to 2/4 which effectively shifted the 3rd beat from bar 23 into bar 24, which is not what you probably wanted.

Possibly one way to achieve this would be to set the number of beats to 2/4 on bar 23, enter the chord for the first 2 beats of the 6/4 bar, and then set 4/4 on bar 24 and then enter the chords for the last 4 beats of the 6/4 bar.

Thanks Audiotrack. I'll check on it later. I'm done for the night right now. BTW, would you ever be interested in collaborating with me on some arrangements on old cover tunes? Sometimes I just need help on just a few bars, like this tune. In turn, I can help with really tasty drum & perc parts. Just let me know.

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!

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."
