Once you install/upgrade RealBand on your computer, just select "Help, About" from the main menu and it will tell what is installed. If the latest update for your version of RealBand (2012) is higher than that, then you need to download and install the update. You only need to do this for the most recent update, since each update includes the changes from the previous updates (within the same version). In other words, don't try to apply 2011 updates to 2012 or vice versa.

Same applies to BIAB.

Hope that made sense.

mine reads.......realband 2012 (4)
BIAB 2012 (349)

i see there is a build 2 and a build 5 available for 2012 updates...should i update "5" only
and if i am not mistaken, it would appear that i am up to date with BIAB.....did you say that any updates that preceed build 349 i should ignore?

The builds are sequential. If you look on the update page, you'll see that there is a Build 5 for RealBand 2012; therefore, if you currently have build 4, you'll want to update to build 5. You don't need to download build 2, since the changes from build 2 are included in build 5.

You are up-to-date on Band-In-A-Box 2012 (current build is 349). Be sure to check every so often for new builds.

There is also a RealTracks Update from Dec 15, 2011. If you purchased your BIAB prior to Dec 15th, then you'll need to get this update, as well.

If you aren't sure, just download the latest update and apply it. Worst case, is it just gives you something you already have (unless, of course, bandwidth is a concern).

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."
