This is additional and likely related to the previous problem I reported.

I start a fresh new song and apply _SUMMER2.STY.

I play the song and it sounds correct.

Then at bar 5 I change style to _GRANITE.STY.

I play the song and it now sounds wrong and when it gets to bar 5 it does not change to the correct style.

I generate and play again and this time I get this error. Something is def wrong with changing styles.

Here are more details on this problem.

It seems to be related to the mixer and the number of tracks being used.

If I create a new song and apply the style _CENTAUR.STY to it when I play it it sounds correct. I can solo each of the 5 tracks in this style and the proper instrument is playing on each track.

Now if I change style at bar 3 to _NORFOLK.STY when I play it and it hits bar 2 the Guitar track has already switched out to NORFOLK! Then when I get to bar 3 the two tracks of _NORFOLK are playing but the drum track from CENTAUR is also still playing.

If I play it again a couple more times BIAB crashes and says I can continue if I want.

But if I continue it will not regenerate saying "Playback generation is already in progress."

I have to force Windows to stop BIAB to get it to quit.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1) close and restart BIAB
2) set style to _CENTAUR.STY
3) in bar 3 change style to _NORFOLK.STY
4) solo drum track
5) press Generate & Play button
6) drum will play on bar 1, 2, 3 and beyond but it should stop after 2 because _NORFOLK.STY does not have a drum
7) solo guitar track
8) press Play button
9) guitar will play on bar 1 but it switches to Mandola at bar 2 when it should not switch until bar 3

This seems to be related to mixer and track setup. The style change is not properly replacing all tracks and it is not replacing some at the proper bar.

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."
