Tried several searches. I know this has been discussed numerous times. Never the less, I either got several pages of nonsense [as related to my querey] or nothing. So if someone can help plesae. I'm trying to import an aiff file to Biab eleven. Apparently Biab pc wants to continue pretending there is no BiaB mac. Can't import the song directly as there is a real drum part used on it in the version I wish to import and I don't know which one it is. Also, Can you loop audio in pc biab 2011? How do you get notification of a reply on this forum? There seems to be no button. Is it the favorites thing below. That would be very unintuitive. Thanks.

Hello Ron,

Band-in-a-Box songs are cross-platform compatible. The best thing for you to do is to simply save the song as a regular Band-in-a-Box file (.MGU or .SGU) on the Mac, and open the file on the PC. If you were to instead render the song as an audio file, then you'll lose any ability to edit that song further (except in a digital audio editing program). You want be able to change the chords, length, instruments, style, and so on.

You can find out what RealDrums are being used by clicking on the Drums track in the instrument panel at the top of the screen, or by opening the RealDrums Picker.

If you do still want to save your song as an audio file and transfer it to the PC, you'll want to save it as a wave file (whether you intend to open it in Band-in-a-Box PC or any other PC program). There is an option in the Render to Audio dialog on the Mac to save as a wave file.

Thanks Anderew, I have been clicking the favorites button for about a week. I have not seen an email notification yet. Could be I read the forum sometimes on pc others on a mac. I only get email on the mac. And check it multiple times daily. I try to limit browsing on the pc. But I do check the forums from there if there is an issue peding.

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."
