Hello,

I am not sure why it would sound like that. If you render your song to m4a or aiff do you hear that sound in the rendered file?

With the song playing, select the Bass part at the top of the screen, and try choosing different patches (e.g. 33-acoustic bass, 34-fender bass, etc.). Does the noise happen for each patch, or just one in particular?

Are you sure this isn't a problem with your computer speakers?

AND it is not a problem with the speakers because it does not happen with the windows versions and the problem occures with the headphones...

How about if you play the MIDI file with Quicktime or iTunes? What is selected in System Preferences | Quicktime | Default synthesizer? What OS do you have?

In System Preferences --> Quicktime, is 'Quicktime Music Synthesizer' selected, or something different?

I see, Snow Leopard doesn't have a Quicktime Preferences there. Hmmm.... I'm not sure what is causing the problem. Since it happens when you play a MIDI file with Quicktime player, then we know it isn't a Band-in-a-Box specific issue. It seems to be some kind of issue with the MIDI synth ('Apple DLS synth') on that Mac. You might try asking the question on a Mac forum. Or perhaps you could email us (support @pgmusic.com) a short audio sample (.m4a) file to listen to...

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.
