Hello Folks!
I have been listening to my compositions in Real Band through my JBL Tune 110BT bluetooth headphones.

Suddenly the sound is only coming through one earphone - the same headphones work fine on Band in a Box, YT etc.

I have re-installed RB, the headphones, paired and unpaired...all to no avail.

Any ideas anyone/ a checklist I should go through? Many thanks.

UPDATE: When the driver type is MME and I choose my headphones as the output the sound comes through on both - but very grainy and unfit for listening. When I go back to the Windows Driver, the sound resorts back to one ear phone only.

UPDATE below...
Panning all good.
There is a Mono button on the mixer? I know some Real Tracks are in Mono, some in Stereo. I can't change that as far as I am aware...

UPDATE: online research shows the Mono Button - but I cannot see it on my Mixer Panel...

Pull the bottom of the mixer down (or use scroll bar on right side)
It is just under the tracks shown in your image

Right! Thanks! After a bit of faffing and dragging around I could indeed see it. Useful to know.
Mono wasn't ticked however. So still looking for an answer....

In your audio settings, make sure your Bluetooth headset is not selected as the input device. This typically causes the Bluetooth headphones to go into "phone call" mode, which reduces sample rate and goes to Mono.

You may need to change the Windows audio settings as well, in case something else in Windows is trying to use the mic on the headphones.

Hello folks,

thanks for your advice. I tried different headphones - same problem.
By chance I came across the solution: In the Drivers Option in Preferences I found that my input/output mode was in SHARED MODE. I changed it to EXLCUSIVE MODE and bingo - sound comes out of both ear phones again!

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."
