what happened was, I had the post typed but not submitted... then I decided to google the difference between 32 and 64 bit apps to make sure... by the time I researched my answer and submitted you had already posted.
If I had any sense, I would have deleted my post as soon as I saw it was redundant. But then we wouldn't have had all this fun. ;-)
so unless we use 64 bit, the 32 bit version of RB will never change from now on?
there must come a time when functionality falls off compared to the 64 bit version.
does anyone know what 64 bit RB 2021 does that 32 bit 2020 doesn't?
Correct, all development for RealBand will be 64-bit only from now on. The 32-bit version you still see in your RB folder will be whatever previous version you had installed before (2020, 2019, whichever).

I believe the Antares provided harmonizer plugin is 32 bit only.
The DX plugins are installed system-wide and can be accessed in other apps (Reaper etc). Some of those plugins are 32-bit only, but the main (useful) ones are 64-bit.
The TC Harmonizer is no longer in RealBand 2021, otherwise I believe all previous features are still there.

32-bit apps are limited to 4gb of ram. 64-bit apps are limited to 17,179,869,184gb of ram. Let me know when you have 16 exbibytes of memory, I've got some projects that could use it!
Bob, 2021 RealBand has a built-in audio harmony feature. Right click on a tracks window, select Generate > Generate Intelligent Audio Harmony (with passing tones). This works for a complete track or you can select a track section.
thanks Jim! Looks like a feature that will get a lot of positive attention! I just tried it, and I'm very impressed! Probably a dry vocal will get the best results.
thanks Jim, when i get the new 2021 BIAB and B i'll try it but i'm waiting for the stream of patches to quieten down a bit - bet there's another one today!
Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
