much as i love RB it seems to have occasional hissy fits when it will crash a couple of times in quick succession and then behave for months.

i know i can save prefences in BIAB but can i do the same in RB? can't find an option. resetting takes seconds as its so simple but just wondered.............

Bob.
I use realband/biab/reaper combo to do songs.
Frankly i dont bother with save preferences features built into a piece of software..
i save my prefs as custom templates i create.

THUS in rb i create new…then set up my settings then save as template.seq ie..
For example names i might use might be ROCKER.SEQ or BALLAD.SEQ..cos a rocker might have different settings to a ballad.

Or TEMPLATE.SEQ or whatever i want. ..thus in your case you could call
BOBSTEMPLATE1.SEQ. or TWVMIDITENAUD.SEQ meaning a special
Template you created with …basically twelve midi and ten audio traks...whatever floats your boat naming Convention as allowed by win.

above gives me control over settings etc.
essentially my custom templates are blank seq's containing only settings/prefs.

In the event of an RB crash, when it reboots it asks if you want to reset settings (usually) .. simply saying no to this one step means you don't have to redo them.

Hi:
My RB is temperamental at times too. (Half the time I think it's not purely RB at fault, but partly because Windows is trying to keep track of every breath I take). After a few mishaps, I built and saved a .SEQ file called RB Prefs with completely blank tracks and my Options/Prefs settings as selected in RB, not BiaB. As suggested above, after a crash I ignore the 'safely open / reset' suggestion. First thing I do is open my RB Prefs.SEQ file, save it again (despite having done nothing to change it). RB then seems happy enough, so I get back to the composition I was working on when the crash happened. Seems to pacify the beast and only takes 5 seconds to perform after reopening RB on the heels of a technical hiccup or belch.

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!

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."
