I just received my audiophile HDD. I want to copy it SSD, work from that and keep the original for backup.

Would a 2tb SSD work? Any recommendations?

And how would I copy it to the SSD so it would be workable/usable??

Thanks so much!

Yes. The audiophile version of BIAB 2020 for Windows takes about 1.5 TB.

Of course, version 2021 is expected to add more, but at the rate they have increased, 2 TB should be fine for several more years.

I copied two folders under the /BB main folder:

/Drums
/RealTracks

Takes awhile...

Then you just go into Preferences, RealTracks and point to the new location. Do the same for RealDrums.

ps If BIAB 2021 comes out within 30 days of your purchase of 2020, give Sales a shout.

Hi Matt, I've listened to some of your music and its really nice.

I'm thinking I need to copy everything to the SSD. And store the original hard drive for backup. But I'm not sure.

I have not installed anything on the computer that I'll be using. So, should I do that first? are you telling me that the only thing I need to copy is the RealTracs and drum tracks and just play those from the SSD? I do or I do not need to copy anything else? I just want to get this part finished at the beginning so I don't have to redo it later.

My question is is the SSD drive the C:/ or is it another drive? If it is the C drive then your will have to copy the entire BiaB drive on to it. But if the SSD is a drive other than the C drive then you would install BiaB on the C drive and the RDs and RTs on the other drive, i.e. your 2TB SSD.

I hope this makes sense to you.


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.

If you haven’t installed yet, then during the install choose to put the program on your boot drive or wherever, and put the RealTracks and RealDrums on another drive (your 2TB SSD), which can be internal or external.

Thanks for the kind words about my music.

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."
