Wondering if this wonderful set will be available soon for the Mac (ver 2015 106).

From what I've heard on the demos for Windows, this sounds very, very promising!!!

Dave,

New versions of the Mac program come out around the middle of the year (as I'd imagine you already know). As far as I'm aware, the new Realtracks are released then. That being said, I have nothing to do with PG Music and am only a user. To get the best answer, it would be worthwhile using Live Chat to talk to PGM staff (or drop sales@pgmusic.com an email).

All the best,
Noel

Apparently this is included in the Windows latest release (2016), but I don't (as yet) see it available for Mac. Tried looking in the RealTracks tab, but still couldn't find it. The demos on the Windows side sound absolutely fantastic by the way.

For the past couple of years now there has been a pretty consistent 6 month development cycle between the Windows and Mac versions.
Each new Mac release brings the 2 versions closer and closer in feature parity.

Years ago there may have been a gap of a year (or even more) between releases for the 2 platforms.

Back in those days PG would release interim Mac updates, which did nothing more than to make the present Mac version recognize the newest Windows MIDI styles and such (this was in the pre-RealTracks days).
This was so you could purchase the newest Windows MIDI styles separately, before the latest Mac BIAB was released.

Since the advent of RealTracks things seemed to have changed a bit.
I can't remember any interim Mac releases that just added new Windows styles to the Mac version, any updates have been improvements and bug fixes.

It's just a guess on my part here, but that would lead me to believe that any new styles won't be recognized by the Mac version until there is an update.
There haven't been any Mac updates since the release of BIAB 2016 for Windows, so I would just wait.

Just my $.02 YMMV.

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.
