I have to keep reinstalling Build 914 to avoid having this issue. I am trying to record a vocal so I can get playback in both channels. A problem I had not had until Build 918 and now Build 920. The Playback of the vocal/audio is only in one channel. I have the audio settings as shown below: Audio track type for this song: Mono Preferred default track type for new songs: Mono Record using: Both Channels After the recording, BIAB has changed the Audio track type for this song to Stereo. I am using 1 mic entering a mono signal and BIAB changes it to Stereo, I am using the Focusrite audio device in Windows 11 OS. I’ve contacted PGMusic’s support team about this issue many times but still have not gotten this issue resolved. I’m I missing a setting somewhere? It seems like maybe an environmental setting change in BIAB has happened somewhere after Build 914. Thanks for any help on this. It's been very frustrating. I've been a BIAB user since it's DOS days.

justanoldmuso Veteran J Joined: Jan 2020 Posts: 2,697	rayrob55 the best way to resolve these type of issues is to.. post pics of the folowing.. 1. your win recording n'playback settings includeing advanced settings. 2. your sound device user control panel settings. what sound device do you use ?? 3. your biab audio settings/prefs. over many years the above is the best way ive found for people to help the person haveing the problem..otherwise its mostly guesswork on the part of people trying to help. the more details the better. the above will also help pg support also. maybe it is a biab internal bug problem, but it would help if you posted the pics back. its a process of elimination. best om Last edited by justanoldmuso; 10/01/22 09:12 AM.

BIAB Ultra Pak+ 2024:RB 2024, Latest builds: Dell Optiplex 7040 Desktop; Windows-10-64 bit, Intel Core i7-6700 3.4GHz CPU and 16 GB Ram Memory.

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.
