If you have ever considered buying EZKeys - this is THE best deal you will ever see: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EZkeysVU$29 for the Vintage Upright version. You also get a free expansion - I recommend the Studio Grand (which you will get from Toontracks after you register) - it is a great sounding piano. I would advise taking a snapshot of the free expansion offer - it might get taken down... TODAY ONLY!!!! 12-20-2016 (Tuesday). You can get it direct from Toontracks, (on sale), but Sweetwater is cheaper...

That has got to be the sale of the season!!
EZKeys works great integrating chord charts and midi tracks from BIAB. I have used this workflow on a couple of my songs.
Have never seen this good a deal on EZKeys and the addon piano!! One of the real no-brainers for anyone who longs the sounds of a good piano.

Thanks Floyd,
Just bought it.
Anyone know how to go about getting the free expansion pack? as I have registered EZkeys as well.
Do you wait for an email or what, I take it the free expansion pack is something like the grand. I have browsed the EZkeys line on the Toontrack site but nothing seems to be offered free even though my EZKeys is showing as registered on my account.
Thanks for any info on how to get it.

It is a sweetwater deal only. Call them and chat with your sales rep and he will set you up.

Yea I got "burnt" I'll be on phone shortly Just a hint, cause I know these guys. Sweetwater loves it when you call. Ask for your sales rep. If you don't have one ask for mine (Chris). Now be nice, these are generally good guys. Explain what appears to have happened (I suspect they will know already), and ask what they can do for you. The expansion which disappeared is currently on sale for 59$ (down from reg 79$ sale price). They may be able to make you very happy or just a bit happy, either way you will get a neat application.

Not sure if the right way to go about the expansion was to actually add before checkout on the main promotion then it might have been zero cost.
Anyways I emailed them and will see how it goes.
I did get a snap shot of the promotion regarding the free expansion add on.

Musiclover It is not necessary to add anything to your order to get the free expansion. When you make the purchase, Sweetwater sends you a registration code (via email). You then log on to the Toontracks site and register the product - and download from there. The code "includes" any free stuff (expansion packs). Once you register the original purchase, Toontrack adds the Free expansion pack to your list of software - on their site - and you go to it to make your selection and download from there. Good that you got the snapshot. Sweetwater is a great company - much like PGMusic - they should "work with you" - THEY advertised it.... (The web guy might not have a job come New Year's...)

A bit off topic. Toontracks recently added a new "account manager" application that you download once you create an account. It is fantastic at keeping track of your products and registrations including updates and new orders. I got a lot of ToonTrack Stuff...

I have it registered on my products under my account in Toontrack website, but its the only one that is showing nothing there about a free expansion pack.
No big deal will get it sorted.

WAY AHEAD OF YOU Student or Music Was about to post that my Rep. took care of it (I've been through a few Reps over the years ) and yes They've usually been good about these kinds of issues in the past. The "burnt" was in quotes to show I caught up in their MARKETING SNAFU(guys putting up sales pages not paying attention - probably a snow flake off crying or hyperventilating now) and once Sweetwater figured it out they had to change page before too many copies were "obligated." PS even with out the "freebie extra" at $29 to get into EZKEys is a STEAL and money saved you can get the on-sale add-on pianos. Larry

I too couldn't resist and took advantage of the Sweetwater EZKeys deal! Though they had pulled the free expansion option off of the Sweetwater website by the time I purchased yesterday, the free download (Studio Grand) was still offered when I registered at the Toontrack website. According to my screenshot from Sweetwater yesterday, it appears that if you register before Dec. 25, you'll be okay for the expansion. Just thought I'd share to ease the minds of anyone who purchased but has yet to register Mark

Well got it sorted with Sweetwater, got the free grand as well, after an exchange of emails and the snapshot of the offer. Think it was the snapshot that did it. Thanks again Floyd. Now No more have to buy offers from anybody. Musiclover

The snapshot or Sweetwater has nothing to do with it. I just downloaded it from Toontracks. The product manager automatically popped up the freebie choices to choose from.

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.

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."
