This started with version 2011 for mac, & I thought it would be cleaned up on 2011.5, but it wasn't. I have tried this on two Mac's, a Mac Pro w/7GB RAM, and an IMac with 8GB RAM both with fast hard drives. Regardless of whether I use Real drums or midi drums, unless I freeze the drums track, the drums play out of sync with the other tracks. I have even done this playing directly off of the hard drive that my 2011.5 was shipped on as opposed to playing from my internal hard drive that BIAB is installed on and it happens both ways. What's up?? I have seen other posts about this, but so far no fix has been brought forth! I think we need a patch to fix this problem ya know??? In fact, I believe this actually started after the last update to 2011 which was build 26 I believe. I wasn't having a problem before then.

I forgot to add, rendering the tracks has no effect for me, the drums are still out of sync even after rendering

Timely post GMan!

We just released a patch for this issue. If you have 2011, or 2011.5, you should update with this patch...
http://www.pgmusic.com/support_macintoshupdates.htm

The issue only happens on the newer OSX versions (Snow Leopard and Lion). So if you just upgraded, you'd notice the problem.

In those versions, the way that m4a files got decoded changed slightly, resulting in some RealTracks being out of sync slightly with RealDrums.

The patch works on all OSX versions, so can be installed by anyone with Mac Band-in-a-Box 2011 or 2011.5


Have Fun!

There is still a problem. If you load an all-RealTracks demo, for example, generate the tune via the play icon, all is fine. If you then stop the playback and double-click bar 1 to play again, the drums track is now WAY out of sync. Haven't explored much more than that, but this is pretty obvious, and I have seen it on several examples. This is with 2011.5 build 36.

JazzMac, Yes I noticed that too. Will upload a new build tomorrow. Also adds a few things (such as crossfades on tempo changes to keep them quiet). Thanks for reporting it.

Thanks jazzmac and Gitarman1.

Please try dowloading MacBB build 37 to see if it fixes the problems. I can't duplicate those issues on build 37.

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."
