It's a problem that started with this version (2011). A song will start off well but will suddenly start dropping some or all of the notes. It can sound interesting when it is supposed to be playing back chords and instead just plays one note from each triad. Other times it just goes dead a few bars into a song. I haven't tried the beta but it doesn't mention this problem.

At least one old problem was fixed. One of the recent builds cured that wobbly timing problem on midi render, but the dropped note one is still there.

Hi John,

Can you please explain, step by step, the procedure you use when trying to render your files. That way, I can duplicate your actions and see if I can replicate the problem. Also, what are your computer specifications and operating system?

Kind regards,
Noel

Render to Audio file-->DXi - Direct Render (save WAV file). Or any of the other render options. None of the other settings seem to matter.

Hi John,

I note you have a 64-bit operating system. I interpret that to mean that you are using Coyote Wavetable as your DXi synth for rendering. I've just had a look at the PG Music support page and notice that there was an update for Coyote Wavetable on May 18.

Have you installed this update?

Regards,
Noel

No, should have mentioned I have Coyote ForteDXi. The MS sounds are awful.

It's only rendering that is the problem. If I just hit "play" on BiaB it sounds fine.

Hi John,

If the ForteDXi is an expired demo version, it will occasionally skip in rendered files. If you have an alternative DXi to render with, trying that could help determine the problem.

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."
