Is the only difference between using Audio effects>Gain change and Audio Boost (right clicking on track volume), that Gain Change is destructive and Audio Boost is not? Iam only referring to audio not midi ...Bobby

I think Audio Boost is a track setting so you have to use it on the whole track.
Edit-Gain Change can be used for smaller sections.

When amplifying a whole track you are often boosting noise in a lot of places, so doing it in sections is often more inviting here.
When boosting it all I end up wanting to cut or lower the noise areas (which is about the same amount of editing work anyway).
Just came to mind with your question, maybe its just me and how I work. Now if you're using it temporarily in a session, track boost can be real handy.

To re-phrase my question-I wanted to know if gain change and audio boost do exactly the same thing to the track. When gain change is applied you can see your waveform change. When audio boost is applied there is no visual representation. Thanks...Bobby

That is correct, Gain Change function is destructive, Audio Boost is just turning the volume of the channel up and is non-destructive. As Rharv says, Gain Change comes in handy when you want to boost the volume of a smaller section of the track only, such as bringing up the volume of just one note or a series of notes.

Only one thing to add to what's been said-

If you over-cook the audio boost you'll get distortion, but on gain change you've got the option of POST PEAK LIMIT which you can use as a safety net, or creatively as a form of compression.

I wanted to bring up the level of several whole tracks 3-6db. I will do it with audio boost. Thanks for your help...Bobby

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."
