Adding colors to the new BIAB 2014 Mixer #225484 12/03/13 08:26 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

OP jphillips Journeyman J Joined: May 2008 Posts: 366	I'm liking the new mixer in BIAB 2014 but my eye is a bit overwhelmed with the array of faders. I think it might be better to add color to each section of faders, VOLUME, PAN, REVERB such as illustrated here: I'm not at all tied to these colors or even this concept but I think something like this would help the eye navigate the vast number of faders, buttons, etc. in the new 2014 mixer. I also posted this to the BIAB wishlist John

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.
