TO PG.
A wish.
Before i get to the wish, and i know in the past ive been prolly too demanding, as a long term user, and i dont want to seem like sucking up…lol..but i gotta say i’m mighty impressed with 2022 version from pg, and i’m having a blast with 2022 and the nice features.
and my lovely wife is happy cos she gets the tv remote back...lol. tv is boring anyway, i'd sooner write a new song....and do deep dives into 2022.
Particularly the addition of extra utility traks…the ramification being the added traks mean ive saved lots of work in the multitrak software daw and now do more in bb cos of the utility traks.

This brings me to a point//wish. Re chord sheet with mixer on right hand side.
When i move a legacy trak eg guitar to a utility trak it seems the original settings dont carry over.
So i have to manually set the vol/pan/reverb ? its no big deal , just a nice to have.
Maybe i’m missing something ?

P.S. I think it would be great if PG implements Copy/Cut/Paste to all mixer (tracks), so you can move tracks around, maintaining all the track data.

Yes you are missing this:
Install www.autohotkey.com then set C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe to Run As Administrator by right click.

This will copy and paste selected track Volume Reverb Panning Tone
Run Biab copy track mixer levels.ahk



Quote:
In the past before the added bb traks i typically would do lots of traks in a multitrak software like reaper or realband…thus taking up lots of disc space if loads of audio traks.

When you copy RTs in Biab they turn into wav files, but this way (using 1 button), you can also get it to copy the track levels to Reaper and insert the PG DX Reverb plugin. No wav files created ! no disc space.

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."
