I enjoy a lot of the endings BB can add to my songs. However, one problem I continually encounter is that the two bar ending abruptly stops instead of fades. Makes it difficult have a smooth ending. Is there a setting I've missed or something I can do to extend the ending into something more natural than an abrupt stop? Thanks.

I now use long endings in my BIAB songs, from three to six even eight bars. The trick is to use Multistyle feature.
So, you can build a substyle with the ending length of your choice. You call this substyle for the ending of your BIAB songs and it's done !. So, I get professionnal sounding endings. By the way, you can also use the A section of the substyle for the intro and the B section for the ending. Of course, you have to work to build your own substyles ... The advantage is that you can use this substyle for many other styles of a same family. For ex. you build a substyle for C2_MONT, a country ballad BPM=90, this substyle can be used for other Country ballad styles.
Of course, RealTracks & RealDrums dont' allow to do that !

See http://www.pgmusic.com/techfaq17.htm#23

Also, BIAB has fadeouts. See in the Song Settings.

And be advised that the Holds are not implemented for RealTracks but work fine with MIDI.

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.

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."
