I'm having an problem with the current Band in a Box midi styles, and as far as I can tell, it's the "MISC" or older styles. Before I post on this site for your thoughts , I thought I would attach a sample of a couple of bars so you can hear what I'm talking about.

I don't see an attachment Icon and when I try to copy a rendered file, it doesn't open for me once its pasted. It may for you but I don't think so. Thoughts

Chantelle. I've already notified the support team on this, I'm thinking two weeks ago. After several back and fourth emails, still no fix. It seems like that each email I receive, I have to start all over decribing my problem. I've sent audio clips, I spoken to support over the phone, I put the phone over the speaker to take a listen and I've spent hours and hour trying to figure out where the problem is. Very frustrating. Whateverrrrr

If you want others to try a file you have, use a service like Dropbox or Google Drive, and just paste in a link to the file for people to download.

However you will also need to describe the problem in words so people will know what to look for. You could paste in the relevant description of the problem from one of your emails you sent.

I use a lot of the midi material in BIAB. You need to tell us or share exactly what old MISC midi styles you are having issues with. Then we can run them to see what is going on.

Oh Oh, sorry I see the reason I am just hearing of this issue. This is a Mac issue! I am the PC guy. What am I doing here? crazy

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."
