I currently own the 2011, 2012, & 2013 Everything Paks on USB drives. As I do not need any more USB drives, this time I would like to upgrade using the "ProPak"

It looks like it has all to the upgrades including the new Artist Performace and MIDI SuperTracks.



However when adding it to the shopping cart, it looks like Artist Performance Set 5 and MIDI SuperTracks Set 16 only come with a "BonusPak".



Will I be getting these If I buy the "ProPak", Or are they only available as a purchased "bonus"?

How about you folks who have already upgraded using the "ProPak", are these on your disk?

Hi Rob,

As I understand it, you'll only need the 2014 PlusPak. You could easily check this with a quick email to sales@pgmusic.com or by using Livehelp.

The Bonus 6 Pak comes automatically with your purchase. The Bonus 12 Pak is US$25 extra if you purchase the PlusPak.

Still very good value in my opinion.

All the best,
Noel

Email sent to sales.

Thanks for the reminder Noel -- I sometimes forget that PGMusic actually has good customer service and will respond.

I still have not gotten a response. Emailed 2-days ago.

How about you folks who have already upgraded using the "PlusPak", are the Artist Performance Set 5 and MIDI SuperTracks Set 16 on your disk?

Hi Rob

just posted this reply on another thread, anyway I'll summarize it for you: I myself purchased and downloaded the ultrapack some days ago, upgrading from my 2013 ultraplus pack, and all the files you mentioned were ALL here... so don't worry and buy with confidence! If you don't need another USB HD, the plus pack is the right thing for you

Antonello

P.S.: anyway, in the meantime, I changed my mind and "upgraded" my order so to receive the BIAB ultrapluspack on HD, but only for my convenience to have the entire program on a separate HD.

Yeah I just upgraded from 2013 mega pack to 2014 everything pack. I am still waiting on the drive and decided to try and download it....fuggetaboutit... Even with Fios high speed to dl half took me almost 2 days.... I gave up and am waiting for the hd to finnish. I really wanted to get used to the new GUI so it wasn't a total waste

WOW!

I’m in NY and I’m still waiting for mine. It’s been 9 days since I ordered it. If it doesn’t come soon I will be contacting PGMusic.


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.

I ordered HD on Saturday and received on Tuesday, I live in Arkansas. I agree you might want to check on that order Mario.

It didn’t come today so I called PGMusic. The good thing is that they had so many orders for HD versions that there is a backlog. The bad thing is mine was in that backlog. The super good news, at least for me, is that mine is being shipped out tomorrow. The possible bad news is that tomorrow is Friday the 13th smirk

And therefore it cannot possibly arrive on Friday the 13th. You're good, Mario.

Thanks to PG Music support team for having been so keen on my order, and for the ultra fast delivery.

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."
