Although a song can be saved as an AIFF AUDIO in the current folder during the background process it seems as though Mac Band is frozen.

Mac Band is not released until that process has finished.

Why is that PG tech crew ?

Why can't there be a progress bar presented on screen to show the process ?

Hi W,

That's a quick rendering option, so no dialogs appear. When I use it, Band-in-a-Box is unresponsive for a few seconds, and then a message appears at the bottom right, telling me that rendering was successful. This is normal.

If you use the Render Song to Audio File command in the Audio menu instead, you'll get more rendering options, as well as a progress bar.

Thank you
Kent

^

that is much better, thank you Kent.

Small rant here: perhaps Mac Band has too many options doing somewhat the same thing. As i noted originally the " quick " rendering process as you called it does leave the user thinking that the programme has frozen and perhaps one should " force quit ". And so it seems that Mac Band needs some serious house cleaning by the Mac PG programmers.

Hi W,

How long does the quick rendering method take? It only takes a few seconds when I use it, so I can't imagine that what I'm seeing could be mistaken for a crash. If it's taking much longer, this would make more sense though.

Thanks
Kent

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.
