Well this is a bit of a surprise!
Besides a boat load of new RT and Midi Content, these two items catch my immediate attention.
• MultiRiffs is a popular feature that has been available in RealBand and the Band-in-a-Box DAW Plugin. Now it is available in Band-in-a-Box. It allows you to quickly generate 7 variations of riffs from the same RealTracks for either a portion of the song or the whole song.
• There are over 40 enhancements to the Band-in-a-Box® DAW Plugin that works directly inside your DAW (Cakewalk, Reaper, ProTools, PreSonus, etc.) to generate styles, RealTracks, RealDrums, Multi-Riffs, and more. These include Audio Harmonies, Customizing Tracks, Bar and Song Settings and more. Audio Harmonies, RealTracks sound improvements (gap filling, thickening).

Adding MultiRiff capability to BIAB qualifies for the "something HUGE" they announced over on facebook a few days ago. Very happy to see that!
The audio harmonies feature added to the plugin looks interesting too.

I’ll be ordering soon as well. Hopefully as we are a year down the road from the real biggie that being 64 bit, things will calm down and smooth out some.
Sadly I didn’t see any news regarding RB being 64 bit. Maybe later.

JJJ, such an optimist! Honestly, I just hope BIAB continues to work as it does now with those delicious new RealTracks! If so, I will be a happy camper!! If the new multiriff and other features also work that just would be a bonus!

I already knew I was upgrading but multiriffs in BIAB makes me grab that credit card even faster! (Hope it works!) I grabbed my charge charge immediately after reading the new features. For me the notation of RDs is a biggie. This and notation of RTs could make MIDI super tracks a thing of the past. If the VSTi works without generating an audio file, I'm talking MIDI here, then that is another big winner for me.

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.

For BIAB 2019 I upgraded on the very last day of the sale. For BIAB 2020 I upgraded on the first day of the sale. Who would have figured?  And oh, by the way. I now need to officially announce I have spent my entire allocated budget for music stuff for 2019. So please don't let me know about any other crazy sales unless they are entirely free.

Mario that's great news, but how about the plugin, any input on it as far as an upgrade?

Rob, yes, much work was done on the plugin, and it is now version 2. I personally did not test it. There are some things being worked on.
EDIT: check your PM

I’m thinking of the PlusPAK and XtraStyles 8. I’m not sure about the 49PAK I don’t think I’ve ever really looked at this stuff in the past even though I’ve kept up with them.
The clincher for me seems the MultiRiff in BIAB.
Do many use the 49PAK I wonder?

I have purchased the 49 Pak each release. For me, it's always been worth it for the content it has.

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!

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."
