Got update 411
RT223 is still not right -
Check out RT223 - it says it has TWO Styles -
_NWORLFM.STY. NewOrleans MardiGras Fast[170RS]
_NWORMRG.STY. NewOrleans MardiGras Slow[85RS]

Load from cold -
-The "fast" style says its loaded at 170bpm but is actually playing at 85.
-the "slow" style also says its loaded at 170, even though its meant to be SLOW and indeed it plays at 170bpm which is ridiculously too fast.
Also - is it me? - both tracks are Ev8 (or EV16).
If I slow down the "slow" one, which is actually playing FAST (I hope you are still following me - lol)then its exactly the same "feel" as the other one,
I did "talk" to Support, but does anyone NOT get what I get?

SC,

I still got trouble too with the fast New Orleans style as well as your issues with the slow one. Slow style has to be set at 85 BPM to sound right.

Now get a load of this- when I invoke the fast style on a file with a C F and G7 chord, the bass and electric guitar only generate on the G7 chord.

Beats me. I've sent Tech Support the file.

Yep, I get that, Percy. I think it's "generating" so fast in its algorythmn even though you HAVE to slow it down for it to work at all, that the time to generate a half bar chord is too short, so it skips it.

Hi Guys,
After being delighted for a quick update and that the drums are now available I have had more time to look at the realtracks and agree with you guys, things are not quite right as yet with the tempos, it's just not sounding right with the NewOrleans sets
I tell myself every year to wait until the last day of the offers before ordering to save the time and frustration of waiting for fixes as there are always are some. PG do a great job but I'm sure a bit more testing before putting on the market would be better.
After over 20 years I think this will be my last upgrade to biab it is just getting too complex and I think they have gone as far as they can go now for my needs, the vast majority of new enhancements I will never use and the realtracks are getting a bit samey. It would be good to have some work done on the interface to bring it more up to date with modern windows programs and menus.
A great program.
A lifetime user, Jeff

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."
