Hello All,

I am running into, I think, a similar problem as another user.

I have loaded my audiophile version and am bringing old sgu files to play in the new environment. There are some glitches.

The most troublesome is when a song starts and a track is muted initially (I use F5 to set these), it will not resume when it is told later in the tune to go "Back to Normal."

All the tunes still behave as expected in last year's version of the program. Any suggestions? When the tune starts, the initially muted tracks are in red, incidentally.

Are you running Build 814? This was supposed to be fixed... Hold it, yes it was fixed in Build 815 coming out soon.

Fixed: Issues with Bar Settings un-muting tracks.

Yes, I am running the 814 build which I upgraded to just a few days ago before running my new install for the first time.

Thank you for your reply! I will be looking for the new 815 when it comes out.

Are you able to provide a sample SGU file that demonstrates this issue? Somebody here could test and hopefully verify the source of the problem.

Hi,

There will be a patch release soon, most likely tomorrow. In the mean-time you could install this pre-release build if you want, and see if it fixes the problem. In my testing I am not having a problem with F5 muting/unmuting in this build.

Hurray, Andrew Forever, the Man that never Sleeps in January. He doesn't get the chance. PS there's a song in that.

I had the same problem using a few different styles. Muted the drums in bars 1 & 2 and even though I told BIAB to un-mute the drums in bar 3, they stayed muted.

Just installed the pre-release 815 build and it fixed the problem.

Program works normally now after installing the 815 patch.

Having seen the amount of times this month he's still in the office when I leave, I can attest to 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."
