Hi,

Is it possible to load the sessions (.mgu files) with audio, from win BB to the new 2015 Mac BB and have the audio loaded to the audio track?

Thanks regards!

I haven't go the 2015 version yet but it should do as it has the audio track now:

"Audio Track is added to allow you open an audio file, record audio, or render the song to the Audio Track. The new Audio Edit Window shows a digital waveform of the Audio track."

I uploaded a short SGU and MGU for someone with MacBB2015 to try.
There should be a Sax in the Audio track if you solo it.

Both Windows .MGU and .SGU files opened and played on BIAB 2015 Mac, including the Audio Track. Sax solo played on both and Audio Editor displayed waveform. I solo'd the Audio Track on both with great results. Matched the .WAV files you provided.

Nice solos!

Works just fine here too, but I noticed that panning doesn't work (on the audio track). Is that also the case in the windows version?

Yes you aright, just tried it in windows it doesn't pan either, mono or stereo just the same.
Maybe that has something to do with why UserTracks are in Mono even if they are made in stereo ?
In WinBB the Audio Editor windows only shows as Mono.

Yes, this is possible. If you have mysong.mgu, and mysong.wav in the same folder then it will automatically load onto the Audio Track in Band-in-a-Box (2015 for Mac). WAV is the default format for both Windows and Mac versions, but the Mac version will also load AIFF files.

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."
