Is there a notation window in the BIAB Plugin. I would like to see the music when using the VST Plugin.

There is no notation window in the BIAB-VST that I am aware of. However, considering you are always a simple drag and drop of any track into your DAW, not sure why you would need it in the VST. The midi associated with every track is readily available to view in the DAW. Reaper has a nice notation window.

Yeah I can see that but hey ya never know. I don’t think the plugin was made to replace the main program or to function as a mini DAW in the DAW. It was to add tracks to the DAW. Most DAW software has some kind of notation, some have really good ones. To my thinking I can see the need to process individual notes in the plugin. Those things are best done in the DAW. Just thinking here.

Showing the music notes for each Instrument. The plug in syncs the chord progression but not the music notation.

Thanks for the feedback jimmitch! Adding a notation window to the plugin is a big undertaking and as mentioned, most DAW's offer a midi notation window so you could easily drag the midi file into your DAW to view the notes. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the response Adar the midi does work. I think I started using BIAD from 2006 so many great updates. Hopefully a notation window in plugin or BIAB syncing in the DAW. No need to edit the notes just to follow the part as I play along.

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."
