I I am going from 4GB memory to 8 GB in a MacBook Pro. The new memory I purchased is listed as the correct memory for my MacBook.
My question is tho old memory states that it is 1333 MHz DDR3, the new 1066 MHZ DDR3.
To me, the uneducated computer novice, it would the lower MHz would indicate slower speed.
Does anyone know?

Yes 1066 Mhz DDR3 runs slower than 1333 Mhz DDR3. In practice you should not notice a difference. If your Mac is using Intel then the computer should automatically adjust to the slower speed.

You didn't say whether your new memory replaces or augments the old. I would not mix memory with different specs.

Jim, yes the computer uses Intel.
Matt, the 2 old 2GB memory sticks are being replaced with 2 new 4GB for a total of 8GB.
Actually the computer belongs to my wife and the Apple Store recommended the upgrade.
I recall a few years ago when replacing memory, I was sent memory that was supposed to be
the correct upgrade but did not work.
In that case and on a different MacBook, when restarted would beep and not boot.
No harm done and reinserting the original memory, the computer once again worked.
I’m hoping this the case when I attempt the switch.

That’s good. I did the same thing to an older Mac I have. Having 8 stopped all the beach balls.

I did the upgrade yesterday and it was a 10 minute job.
The computer is working extremely well.

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."
