When I try to play along with a song, I can hit the same note and it is different every time. Anyone have a clue?
Thanks, Breezy.

Are you by any chance talking about using your computer keyboard to play along? If not, please give more detail.

Sorry, not a clue what you mean. Seems there may be something fundamental about BIAB someone could explain to you, but you may need to clarify exactly is going wrong for you a bit better.

For example: If you want BIAB to play the exact accompaniment to the chord chart you need to freeze the tracks or avoid the regeneration of the accompaniment. If you at anytime regenerate, the backing will change. But I am not sure this is what you are referring to?

What instrument are you "playing". And what note are you hitting? What Matt asked...

I want to play my own melody from my midi keyboard. Every time bnb changes chords the notes on my keyboard play a different note than what I am playing.

OK, thats weird. Is it Latency? Meaning what you are hearing from your playing is way behind the chord changes?

no. I can play the same note over and over but, when the chords change so does the note.

Got ya. Sorry - no clue here other than the standard response when BIAB is not behaving correctly. Options-Return to Factory Settings. Lets see what others have to say. Good luck.

stupid question, assuming the "return to factory settings" doesn't knock some sense into BIAB

these different notes - are they all in the right KEY, i.e., no sour notes?

Reason I ask is that there is a "Melody Wizard," and a "MIDI keyboard Wizard," and maybe another one - but I thought most of that was for folks playing along with their PC keyboard (QWERTY keyboard) and maybe these features are over zealously helping you for some reason

Great question. I think that fixed it. Thank you very much!

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.

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."
