Hi
I m getting incredibly long download times on the new update 811
Has been flipping between 2 days and 8hrs after over 39 mins still saying mostly 7 or 8 hrs.
My internet download speed is 19 Mbps

Surely not that busy.

Mike

Yes indeed. I'm superfast fibre 300mb per second. It's telling me 4hrs to download a 320mb file. For me that should be about 6 seconds.

What a joke. Maybe it's timed to finish Christmas day.

Same here. Took a while to download, not normal.

Also one of the new 8th styles is mis-labled.

*_TING8.STY

Ting Triangle Train Trip 8ths-26

Should be Ting Triangle Train Trip 8ths-260 as the demo song loads at 260 BPM

Hi Andrew

After 4 and ½ HRS still only got 200 mg. so I have aborted and tried again on my main Pc .
Unfortunately it is still reporting time remaining between 2days and 8or 9 hrs.
So some thing a bit odd with the connection to uk it seems.
So far have 7.2 /320MB 14hrs left.

Yes the alternate link was excellent. I have GIG speed and the normal link was at 5 to 6 hours alternating. The link you posted, I got is about 6 seconds!


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

Perhaps, someone who is having this problem with the previous link, could run this command at a command prompt and send me your results:

tracert nn.pgmusic.com

Also, is there anyone NOT in Eastern USA, Europe, or UK having this problem?

Yep, still a problem here in South Carolina this morning (Dec24th) On my crummy AT&T 30Mbps download speeds, the original download link estimated over 19 hours to download the file.

On the alternate link that Andrew posted the download time was less than 2 minutes.

Thanks for posting that Andrew...I was ready to give up on the newest update.

Here in US Central Time Zone, the original link alternated between 14 hours and 2 days for download completion - then self-canceled, noting "network problems". The alternate link was fine - downloaded in less than 30 seconds. Time tried original link three times: 1:06 pm; 1:11 pm; and 1:22 pm. Alternate link downloaded at 1:27 in 30 seconds with no issues.


EDIT: It took this message almost 2 minutes to post after clicking onto the "submit" tab. My Internet speed clocked at 67 mps.

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."
