Andrew,

Thanks for updates.

I just d-Loaded and installed.
RealBand does not seem to reflect the 427.
Did About click and did not see it.

Am finishing a new UserTracks so wanted to make sure stereo was there.
The new UT does not seem right, but could also be my sourcing.

Hi Frank
It's a BiaB update, not a RealBand update, so I don't think you would expect to see a revision change in RB.

The latest RealBand is 2016 build 2

Thank you.

Is this update for the 2016 version of BB?

I did get an update request recently but I thought it was the 2015 update that was trying to be added so I stopped it.

Thanks

Andrew. How about the overlap of the Audio button by the mixer? I can't expand my laptop screen any bigger so the Audio button is always overlapped. If I select the Normal screen window then the Audio button is completely behind the mixer window. Are they going to fix that soon? It's not a deal breaker but some people might view this as sloppy programing. Just a thought. Note that this was brought up several times during beta.

Perhaps a future version might have changes in the User Interface that would allow individual selection of these controls, including the mixer.

(In the meantime, Control-T might make the Audio radio-button viewable)

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."
