Others have noticed this also (including me) and it has been reported to development.
Many users seem fine though.
Hopefully it will be fixed soon as previous 64 bit (beta) versions seemed OK.

If you want to try things, maybe try ASIO vs MME drivers (or WAS drivers) and the bit settings (16 vs 24).
To me the distortion/crackling sounds like a driver/conversion type of issue. Could be wrong.

I do know some users that have experienced it are using the same drivers in 32 and 64 bit, leading me to think the problem is in the released 64 bit version.
Shoot an email to support to let them know you are also hearing this, as it may help with prioritizing the fix.

I haven't seen any noted fixes in the updates, but it would also be worth making sure you have the latest update installed which is linked in the Sticky's at the top of this forum.

Me too.

I have 2 computers - 1 desktop and 1 laptop - with the same symptoms.

I sent the help folks a test file from which I created 2 audio files. 1 audio file was rendered from the test file and it sounds fine. Then I recorded the test file again with a Zoom Recorder set up within my room. The zoom file has the distortion.

BTW, my 32 bit version works fine. My 64 bit version is where the problem is.

I think quite a few people are noticing this and I am sure it is being looked into. Hopefully it will be resolved in a future update. I found that it only affects song playback in the 64bit version. If you render the files then there is no distortion.

Maybe just use the 32bit version until it is fixed.

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."
