Starting from scratch works just fine. It's after switching styles on an already existing file that seems to be problematic.


Weird, as myself & others tested this and couldn't replicate it ..
Wish I could help more
Can you post one of the offending SGU files somewhere?

Note, you can rename a sgu file file extension to txt, jpg or pdf and then attach to a post. For example rename MySong.sgu to MySong.sgu.jpg

To attach the file select the "Switch to Full Reply Screen" button and then click on the "File Manager" link.

that's a great idea Jim - means we can attach a BIAB track easily and simply by fooling the upload mechanism!

Thanks Bob but Pipeline has been renaming files so they can be attached to a post for quite some time. I just recognize genius when I see it and don't mind copying good ideas or sharing those ideas with others.

Thanks a great tip!! How does Pipeline come up with all this stuff?! PG really needs to hire him, at the very least as a consulting subject matter expert.

Thanks Pipeline!

I trust Pipeline when he does it.
He usually gives a good explanation of the expected steps/results.
When using this trick it is good practice to explain like he does.

Historically this trick has been used by nefarious people too, so be careful and give good instructions if doing this.

/Rename an executable file with a different extension.
Have people download it, rename it back and double click it to launch it
Profit!/

Stay safe out there .. and keep your stick on the ice
Websites restrict file extensions for a reason. Renaming a file from a download and then running it does have its risks. Just sayin'

Again I trust Pipeline, but you need to think about it each time you do something like this.

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."
