If you haven't jumped into the virtual analog synth VSTi pool - tomorrow June 21 (actually about 9 hours from this posting) is the time to do it. Arturia are celebrating world music day with a free download of their Minimoog V emulation. Details here: http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/products/minimoogv/minimoogv-original.htmlI like the Minimogue VA synth that is freeware, but it will be nice to also have the 'official' emulation as well. Enjoy! -Scott

Scott - many thanks for the link.
I think that site's going to be a bit busy! Let's hope it doesn't go down.

Not able to get the download yet, its timing out.

I have tried for the last 4 hours with no luck.
Great idea giving away a free one like this but very poor execution by only having it available for one day!
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Site is still down... Over the past hour I could get on the page 3 times to enter my name and email, but each time it would simply drop the page. So I am either going to get 3 emails with download info or I am just contributing to the overloading problem.

whether or not it was poor execution depends on what they really hoped to accomplish. If what they really wanted was to stir up interest in their product and get people to circulate links to their site, then "mission accomplished"
A certain percentage of people who decided they wanted the freebie will still want it after the giveaway is over. Marketing is all about getting the attention of large numbers of potential customers

Murfle. I did manage to download it, but now, after reading all this, I'm afraid to install it.

Not exactly, RTAS refers to: Real Time AudioSuite, an audio plug-in format developed by Digidesign and used in ProTools in the PC world.
Perhaps we are both correct??

Beware of FREE software!
While there are exceptions like Audacity and MS Essentials, a good rule of thumb is "if it's free, ... don't take it".
Come to think of it, Audacity and MS Essentials are the only two "freebie software" products I've ever gotten that were worth having and that didn't screw up my computer.

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."
