Hi,
there is a bug in style _OLDWLD1.STY
To reproduce:
New song with this style in the key of Eb
Enter just Cm7 chords.
Solo the accordion.. listen..
Sometimes the accordion will play wrong chords.. a chord with a Gb in it.. can be a Cm7/b5 or a Cdim I guess.
Can anyone pls confirm that?

Thanks a lot,
Franz

Hi, Franz,

I can confirm this. I hear occasional Cm7b5 and also CmM7 (I think).

Hi Franz,

I've had a listen. It sounds like there could be a chord mapping problem. I'll pass a link to this thread onto the Development Team.

In the meantime, if you have BIAB 2021...

1) right-click on the accordion track in the mixer

2) select Track Settings

3) select Fix Sour Notes

4) unfreeze the accordion track if frozen and regenerate it.

This might help.

This feature is only available in BIAB 2021. So if you have an earlier version of BIAB, this is not present.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Noel,

thank you very much for taking your time and your help! Thant's very kind of you.
Yes, I have the latest version.
But since the last update to 2021 version 814 I have lots of other problems.
When I change styles I get strange track names and can't hear midi tracks an so on.. can't load old songs created with BiaB 2009.. they show strange Track names, no Midi sound except on melody tracks and more

I tried the Auto fix Sour Notes.. selected chords and BBW64 didn't respond anymore with a cpu load of 50%.
I think first I have to try to reinstall it.

But I'm sure there is a mapping problem in this style.
I still can load this song and change chords as long as I don't change the style.
Thank you for forwarding this mapping problem to the developers.

Best regards,
Franz

P.S: I think I can post more after reinstalling BBW

Hi Franz,

Next time you try "Sour Notes", try it with "Song chords" and see if that helps.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Noel,

that's what I tried with version 814 (the latest update).
Looks like the high cpu usage without responding was a bug in the latest update.

Now after I removed this version and installed the old BB2021 version 804 again it works!
It just doesn't work if BB starts with the wrong chord in the first bar.
So this is probably another bug.
But that's not a big problem if you know how to solve it.. I let BB rebuild the song until it starts with the right chord in bar 1.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Franz

Hi Franz,

Check the song's key, too. That might help. Lastly, if the first chord is Cm7, try just using Cm for the first one and then put Cm7 on the next bar.

I'm glad you're up and running.
Noel

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!

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."
