And I will respond the same way I did before to this same request.
This is one of the primary reasons Real Band was created. RB is a marriage of Biab and a DAW precisely so you can create multiple parts of the same instruments on different tracks, bypass Biab's 255 bars limit (there's yet another thread about that for the gazillionth time), better midi editing, better audio editing, etc, etc. RB was and is PG's answer to all these things that come up on the forum continually because Biab IS NOT A DAW.
The "Band" in Band in a Box refers to a standard small group of 4 or 5 players playing standard AABA type songs. That has already been expanded by things like the Crooner RT's, and loops. More than that and you're entering the world of DAW's.
16 tracks?? That's small change Mario, you've got 48 already.
Use Real Band guys, that's why it was invented in the first place.
Bob Bob, that would be great if I had a PC, but I'm using a Mac.

Bob, that would be great if I had a PC, but I'm using a Mac. That's why people use Intel Mac's, install Windows and dual boot. There are lots of cool PC only programs and not everything is dual platform. It's the same the other way too. Lots of great Mac only programs so I have to decide which way I'm going to go. I costs a ton of money to rewrite a program for the other platform if it wasn't done for both from the beginning. I'm sure you give this same advice to PC users who ask you the same question about a Mac only program. What's the answer? Keep bugging the company to rewrite the program or just buy a Mac? In your case here, you can wait for PG to come up with a Mac version of RB (it could happen but when?) or set up a Win/Mac dual boot system. Bob

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!

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."
