Yes, I was watching with some interest and was disappointed to see the delay. However, it'll be rescheduled soon enough.

I hope all goes well. I read today that another SpaceX Starship rocket exploded on test. These things happen, but it's still scary.

Hope it goes well, doesn't the rocket have to reach speeds of 7 miles a second to escape the earths gravity, unbelievable!

It was great, watched the whole thing. What impresses me is the overall look of everything from the Falcon 9 to the Dragon capsule to the spacesuits. It's ultramodern looking, three big touch sensitive flat panel displays control everything and they're specifically designed to work with the spacesuit gloves. Then there's the spacesuits themselves, wow what a look. They have that old 50's Twilight Zone "futuristic" look. And then the first stage Falcon rocket lands itself vertically exactly how the old scifi writers envisioned a rocket landing. It really makes all the old NASA stuff look like ancient antiques.

Bob beat me with the space suit comments. If anyone gets a chance visit Cape Canaveral, it is very impressive.

I watched the entire launch and it was very impressive. It is amazing how they can have those rockets return to the ships so they can be used again.


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.

I'm so proud of the men and women of NASA and SpaceX!

It was exciting and inspiring to witness what they accomplished today. The mission won't be over until we have our astronauts safely back home but it was a wonderful start to what I hope is a new beginning for our space program.

My son and I watched together and cheered them on. I still have it running in the background and keep checking back for updates.

I totally agree. I find the technology is absolutely awesome.

How far we have developed technological advances in such a short time-frame. So impressive.

I watched this happen as well live online - absolutely fascinating stuff. I will admit, it definitely makes me realize how small I really am, in a beautiful way.

Wow, how did I miss this! I had no idea this was happening. I'm sure I can find footage of this online somewhere.

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."
