BiaB 2015 arrived today on USB drive. i purchased the update. any reason to keep 2014 on HD and then just run 2015 from this USB drive?
the 2014 version has the megaPAK and the 2015 everythingPAK. for now i don't see any reason to keep both versions on HD but i could be wrong

Hi MMgWjo,
What I always do is to install the latest version of BIAB/RB over the pre-existing version. I've been doing this since 2006.
Installing the program over the top of an older version safeguards the material that came in bonus packages when you purchased that older version. Older Bonus Pak Realtracks, Realdrums, etc., are rarely released again and are not usually included with the Everything Pak.
Hope this helps, Noel

+1 what Noel said You will not regret it.
really that is the only GOOD way to do it and the way i've been doing it since first version - a long long time ago.
Good luck Larry

Even installed right over when BIAB went from 16-bit to 32-bit. Will do the same whenever [if] it goes from 32-bit to 64-bit (unless I'm told otherwise).

I concur. What you would not want to do is what is described in the original question, where (if I'm reading it correctly) you would have two installations of the program.
For anyone wondering, there is no reason you have to use your older versions, if you have carefully kept your Bonus Paks from all prior years. I did it this way when building a new computer recently.

I HAD "LOST" MY ALL IN ONE DISK FOR 2014, SO I INSTALLED THE CUSTOM VERSION OF INSTALLS FOR 2015 IN MY NEW HP LAPTOP...THE FIRST COUPLE OF INSTALLS DIDN'T "STICK", BUT WHEN I USED THE COMPLETE CHECK OFF WITHIN THE CUSTOM APPROACH, EVERYTHING STAYED ON THE DRIVE...AND THE UPGRADE STUCK TOO. LOVE THOSE STYLE SOUND, BUT SOMETIMES THE PLAY-BACK NOTES FROM BIAB ARE OUT OF KEY...BADLY...WHAT'S CAUSING THAT?
...ANY FROWNS FROM YOU GUYS WHEN THAT HAPPENS AND YOU HAVE TO STOP PLAYBACK, IT SOUNDS SO "SOUR" BEING OFF-KEY?? SOUNDS LIKE I FEEL WHEN I'VE SPENT 11 MONTHS IN MY 80'S!!

Hi GD, It sounds like you need to set your sound system so that it either operates at 44.1 kHz or BIAB takes control of it and sets it automatically when the program starts. Have a look at the below post. This might solve the problem. http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=39789&Number=277861#Post277970All the best, Noel

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
