Using RB 2013. Let's say I have a song where I want to punch-in a vocal line from measures 16 through 20. In previous RB versions, I could highlight measures 16 through 20, enable punch-in using from/to from main menu. Then set the cursor back to, say, measure 12, click on record. The song would start playback at measure 12, recording would punch in when measure 16 was reached, then punch out when measure 20 ended.

What happens now is with the cursor positioned at measure 12 and record is clicked, the cursor immediately jumps to measure 16 where recording starts, and record kicks back out at the end of measure 20. It is not possible to have measures 12 through 15 playback first.

Can any of you with RB 2013 duplicate this? Or am I just forgetting a step?

Hi Terry,

I think you forgot a step.

1. Click on the "Punch" button. The "Punch" window opens.
2. Look at the options for "Pre-roll". Write in the number of pre-roll bars and/or number of beats you want to play before the punch in starts.

Correct. This is a NEW feature (pre roll ) of 2013 just in case you're wondering if you've lost your mind.

Correct me if I am wrong, but prior to 2013 I believe you could "pre-roll" from anywhere you clicked on the timeline prior to hitting record. If that ability has gone away, then I liked the previous method much better. Much quicker working that way, without having to keep opening the punch-in box for a newly highlighted area, fill in new coordinates for the pre-roll, close before hitting record again. Way too many clicks and entering new data for each punch-in.

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."
