I just clicked on it and it was still on sale for $27 USD. You might want to try again and if it is a still no-go try a different browser.

Ya, I mentioned that. The clock restarts its countdown every time you leave and come back. Some clever marketing I assume. But it did not fool me. Well it almost did, but my resistance to impulse buying won out.

What did you think of the product Mario? Kind of like midi loops?

I haven't DLed anything yet, my time ran out. But I just got on using a different browser and it gave me another 30 minutes! I'm going back and check it out.

I am hoping the free download gift will satiate me and save me 27 dollars.

I just purchased it and another add on bank. Be forewarned after you put down your hard earned cash there are page after page of extras he tries to sell you. At that point you can't back out of the deal you already purchased, otherwise I would have. Plus you have to find the window that says no I don't want this. A real PITA.

On the plus side I don't think you can go wrong with the original offer. Now off to have fun.

I do like what I see in the freebee. Keep in mind they claim 100% refund in 14 days for any reason. You just have to provide a track which shows you used the product to make music. Will look again at it tomorrow. thanks for you input.

A word of warning, what he is showing you is NOT what you get for $27! He is showing you the most expensive package. For $27 you will get a ton of chord progressions but no leads. You get a chord per measure, i.e. four chords in four measures. Very deceptive advertising.

I am keeping mine because he has many chord progressions that I would have never thought of; they gave me lots of ideas for songs. I will bring them into BiaB and have it do its magic.

I go no message on the initial purchased download. I'm glad I didn't click on anything else.

Sorry to hear you guys are having these issues. Spent some time this morning researching this.

Here is my take, for what its worth...

First, Midi Samples appear to me to be a subset of the general category of "Loops" which we have discussed here before. They can be as simple as beats, or a sequence of chords, up to fully blown performances. They are fragments (bars) of sounds intended to be put together in your DAW or sequencer to make music. The product appears as a File Directory stuffed with folders distinguished by tempo, Key and genre.

Midi Samples are a bit controversial, just like loops and just like any e-music making tools (including BIAB). Professional musicians (who ever they are crazy ) question their value since these product tend to simulate the very basics of music making. Ya know, the "cheating" argument.

Based on my short review, there are more than a couple major players in the market and it appears Niko's www.pianoforproducers.com is one of them. All tend to emphasize quantity with 1000's of file offerings. I can only imagine the bottom line is quality and cost of the content and the legitimacy of the seller. So this is actually a big market.

What caught my attention for this guy (from Facebook of all places) was his emphasis on melody content. But based on Mario's observations this may not be accurate. I definitely noted the "sales push" in the promotional content when I originally stated, "this looks sketchy". Which is what BeatMaster reported. I did download a collection of 500 files which upon short study looked good to me. However, I have now received about a half dozen emails in the past 24 hours. But I get that from several reputable vendors. So nothing new about that. I can always block if I care to.

I should have added that I scanned my download with MS Defender and the paid version of Anti-Malwarebytes and both scans indicated no viruses or malware.

I generally avoid those "get yours before the time runs out" offers. I figure if they don't want me to thoroughly research the product, they must have something they don't want me to know.

I am interested in your experiences with the $27 offering, and let me know if you get phished.

As do I but these "get yours before the time runs out" offers come after you made your $27 purchase and they give you no way to back out of your order. This made me very suspicious. I will do no more business with this company.

WARNING

I JUST RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY FACEBOOK PAGE HAD BEEN HACKED. I SPENT 20 MINUTES WITH THE FACEBOOK AUTOMATION TO SECURE THE ACCOUNT AND RETURN OWNERSHIP TO MYSELF.

This had never happened to me in the past and the timing now is very suspicious. I suggest we close this thread with a warning to avoid this website.

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."
