To complete the wish of nonchai: It would be wonderful if there would finally be more double bass RealTrack jazz soloists. The few Neil Swainson variations "wear out" really quickly.

+1 for RTs and MIDI.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

All of the above, and consider fretless bass. I played for many years with one of the preeminent players, Mark Egan. He could sound as a ‘regular’ rhythm bassist but could also play marvelous leads.

I actually came here to propose somewhat the same but for electric bass (of which there currently are none!), when I spotted this thread and figured I might as well tag that onto here instead cool

You can break any bass out into a solo with RealTrack Bass Samples for Sforzando using F5 stop the RealTrack bass then on the sforzando midi track F5 to start playing.

Well obviously, and PG has already issued quite decent bass VSTi, both acoustic and electric, to use for that sort of purpose if one is so inclined. But that also means one would, for better or worse, be making those solos yourselves, which not everyone might feel up to scratch to decently pull of. And then, with the "real deal" you would just get something far more advanced and nuanced (eg slides & glisses etc) than the average user could, or at least not without investing some serious time and effort into some pretty intense midi tweaking.

Or, in short: The real deal is very much preferable cool

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."
