Ooops, I was working with my mixer's appearance, and got it grayed out completely!

How do I reset it back to its' normal, visible self?

Hi Joel,

Under the Options menu, there's a choice called "Return to factory settings". Select "Return MOST to factory settings...".

That should help.

Regards,
Noel

Thanks Noel. You've become my best tech helper!

It does look like I'll have to repeat changing my audio and MIDI driver settings again, as they're back to WAS. Fortunately, I have your directions and some experience.

I'll write if it goes awry.

Cheers,
Joel

Okay, got it. Most settings were intact; I changed the audio driver (Audio; Audio Driver / Settings; Audio Driver Type. Then most of the rest was fine.

I'm learning!

Joel, your attached image has been particularly helpful.

What you have described is a transparency setting for the Mixer.

These two buttons control what you have experienced. Try them!

Hi VideoTrack,

Thanks for your help. I think I might have toggled between the various buttons in that section too fast, too many times. They worked initially but then got stuck.

Is there a setting somewhere in preferences or a menu to reset just the mixer, or the toolbar & menu section?

I'll be more gentle next time.

Cheers,
Joel smile

Ha ha! I'm having fun; it's a great program. I've used earlier versions but never invested the time to reap the benefits.

It's perfect for me, as I'm disabled and housebound. I've struggled to play my bass over the years but am enjoying a fun period creating music again. BIAB is available to me whenever I want, for as short or long a session as is comfortable. I also really enjoy the styles and instrument patches.

All technology has its' learning curve, to be sure. Thanks again for your assistance!

The transparency described by Videotrack is a result of user requests for more control over visibility and placement of windows in BIAB. It can be a very helpful feature.

Not that I'm aware of (although it shouldn't have stopped responding also).
I think Return to Factory as Noel suggested is the only way.

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."
