Hi, folks.
I haven't posted here since 2008 - even forgot my username/password so created a new one now. Also, sorry if this isn't a forum question. I app
I'm ready to buy the newest version 2013. What I wanted to know is:
a.) can I install BIAB on both my desktop AND laptop?
b.) If not, is there a discount if you buy two, or another license?
I have four hour daily commute by train, and that's four uninterrupted hours where I can compose with BIAB on my laptop.
Thanks,
Dave
My Desktop is where I have all my hardware gear for recording into Sonar Producer, and all my post-production engineering software, like waves diamond and/or Sound Forge. BUT, I also like to compose with BIAB on the desktop because I have much better sound quality with my studio monitors instead of my laptop soundcard and headphones.

Welcome back Hagstrom,
New release for 2014 will probably be early to mid December this year. You will save a lot by waiting to buy in that sale. If you have bought biab before you can just buy the 2014 ultra pak upgrade which has all the realtracks and realdrums.
There should be no problem installing both to your desktop and laptop as you will only be able to use one version at a given time.
So you only need to buy one version.

Yup, talk to the Sales department about this. They are great about making sure you get what you need at the best price. The whole PG Music is about serving their customers, and they will treat you right.

No need to have two separate installs, which means no situation where the one song you wanted to work on is back at the desktop when you want to work on the song on the laptop.
Do what I do, order the program on the USB hard drive and simply do the minimal install of plugins, fonts and softsynth(s) onto the C: drive of each and then take the USB drive from one to another.
The USB drive works fine, because it does not do audio streaming in realtime from disk when using the Realtracks, they load into RAM for each song and then play from there.
OR -- if you have the disk space, you can indeed choose to install everything separately to each as well, just be advised that if you're like me, the work will be on one when you wish to work on another. You could use the USB drive to transfer songs and songs you are working on, though.

Hagstrom, I think many of us have a workflow similar to yours and have one purchase of BIAB.
I get around the problem of having the wrong version of a song by saving anything I'm working on to Dropbox.
BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus Studio 192, Presonus Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors

Musiclover Hi Musiclover, has there been an announcement from PG Music on a 2014 release that I might have missed?

Thanks, everyone. Very helpful and I intended to upgrade from my 2005 version either way.
But that just makes me more comfortable.

Another welcome back plus a suggestion . . . I was thinking maybe if you contacted PG Music they could get you back online with your old username just in case you wanted to pick up where you left off.
Later,

Musiclover Hi Musiclover, has there been an announcement from PG Music on a 2014 release that I might have missed? There will be no announcement from PG music about any forthcoming releases until such times as the 2014 version is ready to start Flying off the Shelves. Further more as I understand it the beta testers are not allowed to comment either as regards any release. That has always been PG music's policy, unless they change it this year. It has always been the policy to release a new version in time for Santa, leaving the .5 version aside (unless someone can point out a year to me that it was otherwise in which case I stand corrected) and as you are probably aware it is possible to save a tonne of money in that sale, which I feel is only fair to make potential buyers aware of when they enquire.

Musiclover Hi Musiclover, thanks. Taking on board the 2 things you mentioned: "New release for 2014 will probably be early to mid December this year" and "There will be no announcement from PG music about any forthcoming releases until such times as the 2014 version starts Flying off the Shelves." OK... I think I understand... Kind regards VideoTrack

No prob Videotrack, liked your tutorial as well when you replied to another poster about adding images to a post.
I hadn't tried that before so your know-how came in handy.
Thanks

Musiclover Hi Musiclover, Thanks for the feedback and you're very welcome. Hadn't heard from the O/P on any success or otherwise, but presumably he's got everything under control. Regards VideoTrack

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."
