Earl,
Changing the "<" to "[" in your signature should make the link work (if you want it to).
UBB code differs from other formats. This -> [ ] replaces this -> < >

Enjoying the evolving Emoticons, and Monty Python asides, all to fill the anticipatory space that comes with BIAB updates... I'm currently listening to the Allman Bros. "Dreams", a wonderful tune for opening space for "what's next".

Just wondering, has BIAB ever missed a half yearly release cycle ? smile

Sorry if this was asked before. I only visit here once a while.

I think the first dot-five release was around 2008.5

They haven't missed one since... but there's no guarantee there will be more than 1 release per year. We never know until there's an announcement made on the day its released.

yeah, this gets asked every year about this time. And we still don't know the answer with certainty... only that based on recent history there has been a mid-year release.

There is a 2007.5 listed on the Support page. But Pat's right, there is no way to know when or if there will be one this year.

Well .7 has come and gone looks like it will be biab.8 now.

That must surely make a lot of people want to wait to early December to buy the 2014 version.

yeah I bought last year in September and then the next upgrade came out a couple months later and I had to pony up more $$$ for the upgrade. plus the special pricing they offered at end of year was much better than the mid-year deal so I ended up spending a lot more than if I had waited a couple of months. dunno if their pricing/specials will be similar but if so, you'd be crazy to buy at this point! (of course that is just my opinion!)

Unless the .5 version has some realtracks or supermidi files that you have to have for a project (ha, ha).

Lets see I've been waiting 2 months for the mid year release and its now August and no 2013.5. Only 5 months left in 13 and 2014 will be being released for Christmas. I have to admit that I love BIAB and I love messing with the new real racks, super midis etc every 6 months but not sure I can justify not just waiting until the end of the year now. There will have to be something absouetly killer for me to buy the upgrade now and at the end of the year. Once a year does make more sense and it would only be another 4-5 months the way things are going. I am thinking seriously of holding off on the summer upgrade and going with just the end of year upgrade.
wouldn't even have questioned it if the upgrade had appeared in June or July.

The more I think about all the secrecy surrounding whether or not there will be a mid year release and the beta testers vow to silence, the more I feel the users are being treated like a bunch of kids.

You know when you have a bag full of candy or sweets as we call them in UK and you don't want the kid to eat the lot, you sneak and hide not letting him know how many are left.

Or whether you have any sweets in your pocket at all!!

I don’t care when or if a 2013.5 version comes out as long as it is up to the usual almost totally bug free PGMusic standards. I would rather have this then a bug-loaded 2013.5 that was pushed out the door to meet a deadline.

I also don’t want vaporware like in the old days. That is the company promises X and Y goodies only to leave them out of the finish product because of coding complications.
This really ticks off customers.


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.

Santa brings me the new version of BIAB every year.
If the mid-year version came out before Fathers Day (which at one time it did),
the wife or kids would probably get it for me.

Otherwise, I'll remain a once-a-year man.

I can't imagine what would be included in this year's .5 version
that I couldn't wait another 3 months for, but then BIAB is
a hobby for me.

With respect, I couldn't disagree with you more about us users being "treated like children."

There is ZERO doubt that PG and its beta testers are all working has hard as they possibly can to launch a new version.

The fact that a release has not been announced has nothing to do with treating us like children but rather....quite obviously...that it isn't READY YET! If it WAS ready, it would be released.

The vast majority of the BIAB user community would...I suspect...much prefer to wait until PG's legendary record of releasing versions with VERY few bugs (and which are corrected in near-world record time) than to have them shove a product out the door riddled with issues like SO many other developers such as Microsoft, for example, are infamous for doing.

So, there is no "secrecy" involved. Merely the self-evident fact that when PG KNOWS that the new version is READY, it will be released...and not before.

That's a totally GROWN UP way of doing business IMHO.

Regards,

Jim

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."
