Is there a way to change the sound slightly starting at 3 specific bars so each chorus will sound slightly different? There are several ways. 1: There is an option to vary the style in the middle chorus. 2: You could also bring in an extra track (e.g. a guitar track) on a specific chorus, through the Bar Settings option. 3: You could also mute or swap instruments, change a volume level etc at any bar on any chorus. 4: You could swap to a similar style, or change from Latin to Swing etc. Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) 2020-01-08_11-05-04.jpg (81.62 KB, 80 downloads) 2020-01-08_12-55-54.jpg (92.09 KB, 80 downloads) BIAB & RB2024 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones

I used to have this problem with BIAB 2008, but I thought they would have fixed this issue by now.

In that F5 dialog click up on RealDrums to change the drumming style or RealTracks to change an instrument at a certain bar then back to normal at another bar.

Here's the problem: The instruments in my song include Bass, Guitar1, Drums, Guitar2, Guitar3, Vibes, and Soloist. But under RealTracks, the only instruments I can change are Bass, Drums, Piano, Guitar, Strings, Melody, and Soloist. So how do I change individual Guitars or Vibes?

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.
