I was really hoping but build 606 did not fix my desktop audio (static) problems with BIAB 64. 32 works great.

I did not get a chance to try the laptop - it has been doing a windows update for 2 days now.

Thanks all!!!

There ye' go. Guess it's time to backup all your data. Windows 10? You really need to tune that beast IMO to defend it from Microsofts unwanted intrusions. There are tons of tools and settings to do that with.

I'd say do a fresh install, and stick with 1803 (Fall Creators) pro or LTSB (no Edge, no Cortana, hurray). You could try rolling back your current windows update process, maybe use windows' system restore. Or reinstall an older image backup if you made one. Sometimes i was saved by the free Tweaking.com's Windows Repair AIO tool, for me a must have. It might be able to fix that update problem.

Don't use windows update as it could force the newest version to be installed; it's full of problems with audio and video it seems.

I switch Windows Update off with a 3rd party tool called Windows Update switch or something, as switching it off in services is not enough. I have a subscribed version of 360 Total Security, which shows the important security updates needed, and lets you download only those, and install only according YOUR instructions. Luck, -F

Deb, a 2 days Windows update tells me there is a more serious issue. Windows updates take minutes to implement (not including download time).

Sometimes cumulative Windows updates have a couple of bundled packages that would create error / would not install properly.
I had this happen about a dozen times or so on different computers (never ending "update" process). The way I dealt with it, I uninstalled the last update package and run "windows updater" again. 90% of times, it solved the issue.

Actually, the windows install went fine. It went on for another 8 hours.

I'm still hoping to get BIAB 64 going on both machines.

OK, off topic. On November 24 my brother-in-law went missing. My sister is devastated. Ron walked out of the house and never returned. I was dealing with that while I let windows update run. Hence no problem with windows/or the laptop. I got bigger problems.

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."
