the 1st,2nd, and 3rd chorus play differently. so id like to know how to select those certain measures to maybe pick up the beat instead of repeating over and over again. I know this probably has to do with barlines, and i was reading the manual but it wasent descriptive enough for me.

I'm not quite sure what you mean.

Are you meaning that you would like, for example, the second chorus to play over and over without playing choruses 1 or 3.

Alternatively, are you saying the you want to play a set number of bars from the first or second or third chorus over and over without going through the whole three choruses?

I’m not sure either. Perhaps you are describing the default setting that middle choruses play using the ‘B’ sub style? It sounds ‘busier’, more energetic. That can be turned off. Is that it?

We also need to know if you mean "Chorus" as in BIAB definition of a complete pass through the song, or in the popular music definition of Verse / chorus.

yes but instead of just turning it off, i would want some measures to have the B substyle and some to have the A but not because it repeats the whole thing again

OK. Try Edit, Song Form, Unfold. Provided the song does not exceed 255 measures, you can add the A and B substyle markers where you wish.

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."
