Hallo BB User,
sicher wurde diese Frage schon einmal gestellt, hoffe aber dennoch auf eine Antwort von den Profis.

Ich habe BB neu erstanden, bin also Frischling. Auf meinem System installiere ich in der Regel die Programme auf die Systemplatte (C).
Für den Content/ große Dateien habe ich eine weitere Festplatte (E).
Bei der Installation kann ich 4 Ordner auswählen:

Band-in-a-Box folder - geht auf C/System
RealBand folder - geht auf C/System
RealDrums - geht auf E/ Contentfestplatte
RealTracks - geht auf E/ Contentfestplatte

Nach der Installation des Grundprogrammes ist allerdings der Programmordner von BB und RB schon ca. 6,5 GB groß.
Der eigentliche Content über den Downloadmanager mit ca 100 GB kommt aber erst noch.
Nun hab ich ein bischen Sorge, dass es mir die Systemplatte dicht macht.

Im Tutorial ist die Installation zwar beschrieben, aber es geht nicht klar hervor wo die großen Dateien hingehn bzw.

Habt Ihr mir Tipps wie ich das optimal installieren kann?
Danke schonmal und Gruß
Mike

Hallo Mike,
herzlich willkommen im Forum!
die "großen Dateien" sind alles RealTracks und RealDrums. Die kannst Du getrost auf die Platte E: legen, so wie du es jetzt auch ausgewählt hast. Selbst die Programmordner von Band in a Box und RealBand lassen sich problemlos auf E: installieren, wenn du dir die C:-Partition möglichst frei halten willst. Im Prinzip läuft Band in a Box von jeher sogar auch standalone auf einer externen Wechselplatte, es werden dann nur einige wenige Dateien in die Windows-System-Ordner geschrieben.
Viel Erfolg und viel Spaß!

Moin!

Ich schließe mich hier mal an:

Ich besitze die Audiophile-Version 2020. Wenn ich jetzt die 2021er-Audiophile-Version installieren möchte, wähle ich dann beim Setup bei allen 4 in Post 1 aufgeführten Pfaden e:\bb usw. anstatt c:\bb usw. aus?
Dann wäre die 2021er-Version auf der 2020er-Audiophile-Festplatte "integriert", oder? Und das wäre dann so richtig?

Mein Ordner c:\bb hatte nach der Installation der 2020er-Version lediglich 138 MB vorzuweisen. Und dabei würde ich es auch gerne belassen.
Die 2021er-Version möchte 3,85 GB installieren...

Hallo YJM.
Das wird funktionieren und eine auf der Bootdisk sparsame Installation ergeben, aber probiere es doch einfach aus. Du kannst mit der Installation nichts "kaputt" machen (ich hab im Forum noch nie gelesen, dass sich jemand sein Windows mit BiaB zerschossen hat, o.ä. und das gibts bei anderer Software schon immer wieder mal).
Mach es und berichte.

Vorsichtshalber hatte ich vorher ein Backup meiner Audiophile 2020-Festplatte gemacht. Das wäre glaube ich aber gar nicht nötig gewesen. Die 2021er-Version konnte ich problemlos in die bestehende Datenstruktur integrieren.

Jetzt werden bei jeglichen Updates auch die Pfade, die zur externen Festplatte führen, von vornherein angezeigt. Scheint alles zu funktionieren, und mein C:\-Laufwerk bleibt weiterhin verschont. Spitze!

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."
