I just popped open my older Studio One version 2.65 and to my surprise the plugin works flawless in it I generated a song, added Multiriffs, and added an organ track. everything worked smoothly and I even now have audio audition in the pickers.

Thanks for the feedback RobH! Is it a specific style or other track type that is causing your issues? Could you provide the details of what steps you took to produce the problem, as well as what specific problems you are facing?

I have used so many styles so far, but I believe it was a medium country boogie style.

I open my DAW Studio one Pro. And drag the plugin to the tracks view. Click select and choose a style. The style appears in the plugin. I click generate and it takes about two to three minutes and I have tracks rendered. I drag those to the tracks view. I play them to see if they generated properly. Next I click select and multiriff, then highlight a region usually 8 bars. Click custom under generate and click “all riffs” then wait about three more minutes. I then drag those to the proper bar and mute all but one then audition each. Next I choose either the melody or soloist track and highlight it.i choose one of these because the open tracks are not available due to when I try to access them the screen jumps either up to the main tracks or down to the multiriff tracks.

Once I highlight one of the above mentioned tracks I right click on the title of that track and two options pop up. Remove and generate. I click generate. Then depending on which DAW I am using I wait for results.

As mentioned in another thread Reaper seems to generate the last track more often, except the last time I tried it also crashed, Studio one is 50/50 and Cakewalk by Bandlab is a no go every time.

Thanks RobH. The real bug I am hearing in all of this is that you are able to right click on the Melody/Soloist track and see the menu containing "Generate" and "Remove". Are those tracks not empty? If those tracks are empty (grey text out with no description) then they should not show those options. I have tried the Medium Boogie styles and cannot seem to recreate that problem. Trying to generate one of those tracks when they are empty could definitely lead to more problems. What you should be able to do is select a Special Track (RT, RD, loop, etc.) which will show up on page 2 of the track table, and then you can generate that by right clicking or using the options menu. Have you been able to do that? If you are not able to see the second page it would mean that there are no tracks on that page.

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."
