I have Halion which can do GM. But I worry about the 2 gb limit. How is that counted? Is that just the sum of the 16 instruments used or is it the whole library (because Halion is much, much bigger in total size)?

Thanks for info. By any chance is the VSTSynthFont64 the same one as is on this page, and is it the free version or paid for?

Not at all. I'm just saying there will be a few patches. Speaking of, one came out today, about twelve hours after the initial release. Get build #602 now.

Yes, a 32-bit version is also wrapped up in the package.

To run BIAB as 32-bit, the startup file is \bb\bbw.exe

To run BIAB as 64-bit, the startup file is \bb\bbw64.exe

(If you have a 64-bit operating system, it's possible to have shortcuts setup for both BIAB-32 and BIAB-64.)

And I agree... it truly is a fantastic release!!!

Hi all,

I tried the new VST plugin (64-bit). It appears quite unfinished. For example, if you call up a new RealTrack (Select / Select a RealTrack), the listing of RealTracks shows up usually after trying twice, but (for example) the Direct Input column does not show "Y" for any RealTrack. After clicking on Rebuild and Fix, it then shows the Direct Input field values. After selecting the Direct Input option for generation, then OK, then generation of Custom / Special Track does NOT create the Direct Input version, instead the amp'd version. So this VST plugin is basically useless for my purposes because the RealTracks selection menu does not work properly.

Regards,
Dave Clark

I really hope it work with JBridge since my main biab setup is Win7/32 bits. It doesn't make sense that the main application comes in both 64 and 32 and that the VST for DAW is only available in 64 bits.

Actually I remember trying it it RealBand and it was using JBridge.

EDIT: In RealBand the menus weren't staying open, not sure if that was a RealBand issue or JBridge.
If need be I would say they could compile a 32 bit one it's just I think the 64 was a priority as Mac will be 64 bit only.

BTW, I was a little confused until I read up and saw the bbw64.exe isthe 54-bit version. It seems the 32 but is installed by default.

PhillyJazz, yes, exactly. Make a shortcut to bbw64.exe

And I recommend Run as Administrator.

Check in Help, About to see which version is running.

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."
