Hope you will consider adding a few more boxes to the user profile ie:

Windows [version], [32], [64] same for Mac
BIAB [version], [build]
RB same

(a) most people do not supply the basic info when submitting.
(b) a lot of people do not know where to add this info in their profile.

"SO" many times a question / complaint gets delayed until the user gets back with the info therefore causing delays until the above is known.

Boy of boy when I finally retire you folks will have a handful dealing with me. grin But don't worry, the way things are going that won't be for a long long time. frown

I think you guys are blowing this "BIAB system requirements" way overboard. I have seen BIAB running on laptops, desktops, notebooks - across all sorts of hardware setups and MS operating systems. With the exception of recording-latency issues which are generally attributed to external hardware and it's drivers and interfaces with keyboards (again external), BIAB has never been difficult to run on a simple PC configurations.

And while I am at it, I am getting a little perturbed with all these newbees dropping in with complaints and then never being heard from again. The issues which they may be having with BIAB are generally 1) User problems, or 2) Workflow problems. You guys do a good job dealing with both of these issues, but only if the OPs stick around to learn the program.

OK, I will be quite now, got to get back to work.

I have mixed feelings on this. I haven't noticed any more hit-and-run than usual, but I only visit a few subforums where most of the requests for help appear. I agree BIAB works on a wide range of conditions, and system-related specs are less critical than a few years ago. An exception is an underpowered computer that can choke on too many fast-generated RealTracks. Another is a laptop with no additional sound card.

As long as those who need help will answer basic questions, we can generally track down solutions. Most who need help wouldn't know what info to volunteer initially.

The ones that get me fooled occur when someone posts a problem in a forum not for Windows or Mac, and we go around awhile before discovering someone uses a Mac when we assumed it was a PC (or rarely, the other way around). If nothing else, I would like to know up front which platform it is.

Long time regulars that have the patience to answer the same questions over and over amaze me. The forum would be nothing without them. We all owe them a great deal of gratitude as we always expect them to be there for us. Sometimes something happens or they just decide to move on like Mac did and we all get to see just how big a hole just one person can leave behind.

I thought of mentioning each contributor but feel sure I would neglect to mention a name or two so instead ...

To all the long term contributors that spends their precious time helping the rest of us my most sincere thank you!

I think it's important that the specific product version that's being used is listed. Many times a question is asked that we know works OK, only to find out through further questioning that they are using an older version and the feature is not supported. Or the method to use the feature has been changed, one example is the Stylepicker in 2016 compared to earlier versions.

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."
