2016 RealBand each preference window/dialog is so tall that I can not reach the OKAY, CANCEL, HELP buttons at the bottom of each dialog. Even after dragging the Dialog to the top of my screen I still can not reach with mouse/cursor. The OKAY, CANCEL, HELP are silhouetted/opaque behind my Quick Launch Tray/Task Bar. Only way to reach these buttons is to click the cursor into the lowest reachable field then use the TAB button to navigate until I can then hit Enter on the QWERTY. Changing screen resolution changes everything else so I have not tried that. But, it seams there is a lot of unused empty space at the bottom of each Preference Dialog. Can you make these Preference Dialogs shorter or smaller by removing some empty space.
I like to keep the Quick Launch Tray in view for quickly grabbing things there so I prefer to not hide the Quick Launch Tray just for this issue.

Tobias,
What screen resolution are you running?
I think that this dialog is similar in height to the 2015 version.
I can see the buttons (just) on a screen running 1366 x 768.

1280 X 720. And not going to change it. Also not going hide or auto-hide my task bar. Everything else fits and everything from every other program I use fits. If PG fixes it I'll cheer. If they don't fix it I won't cry about it. I have RB well adjusted to fit my screen. Just seems silly that it does not stay sized within it's own program size.
RealBand itself will not allow me to resize it to intrude into the task bar. But RealBand's preference dialog drops right in behind there with no way to adjust it out.

Tobias. Why not hide your task bar? I do and it works just fine. If I need something from the task bar I just run my mouse down bring up what I need.

As for screen resolution, If you're like me, you've probably already maxed it out. wink

I read this at first as though it was OK in previous versions but not in 2016. Was it OK in previous versions (e.g. 2015)?

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."
