Seasons greeting all.
As a Christmas gift to myself I have taken advantage of the special pricing and purchased BiaB 2019 Ultra upgrade and am not sure that it has installed correctly.
When I run Reaper and open the VST it opens and I can load the .SGU file for one of our songs and generate the tracks which is pretty much what I expected.
However when I open the BiaB app the banner and about both show that it is 2018 Ultra with the most recent 2018 patch, not 2019 Ultra and current patch level.
When I ran it for the first time after upgrade it didn't request the new serial and when I tried to apply it, the dialog box advised that BiaB was already licenced on this computer.
Maybe a written or video description of the upgrade process is long overdue, I have not been able to find one.
Another for my wish list is the ability to render the drums as a MIDI track so that I can have separate tracks for each piece of the kit, when I try to generate the track as a MIDI it says it can't generate MIDI for a track where audio already exists. I'd like to be able to change the individual pieces ( kick / snare / crash ) rather than the whole kit in places to improve the dynamics of the mix
Regards
Dave King

I'm sorry you're having trouble. I'm speculating that you did install BIAB 2019, or the VST Plugin wouldn't have loaded. Yet it seems you are loading 2018. Can you tell us how you load BIAB? Desktop icon, Taskbar Shortcut, Windows app listing in the Start button, or how?
FYI, the existing BIAB shortcut on the Taskbar loads the 32-bit version of BIAB 2019.
If you right-click on a desktop icon and select Properties, make sure it goes to /BB/bbw64.exe if you want to run the 64-bit version of BIAB 2019. And if you have updated to any of the most recent builds, 610 is the latest at the moment, it will ask if you want desktop icons.
Finally, tell us what steps you took in the install. Are you running BIAB from the supplied USB drive or did you load it onto an existing BIAB installation on an internal hard drive?Yes, I know these questions are annoying, but we'll get it figured out. If nothing else, the Chat for Support should reopen on Monday (and I see they are there right now).

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."
