What's up with audio recording, new bugs tied to the update to avoid hearing audio when replacing old take ...

Case 1
start new song
arm track for monitoring
mixer window: audio channel label highlights in orange, audio is monitored
audio edit window: audio channel in grey
record audio
nothing ...

Case 2
save song from case 1
disable/uncheck arm track for audio monitoring
mixer window: audio channel label highlighted in orange, audio is not monitored
audio edit window: audio channel highlighted in orange
record audio
nothing ...

Case 3
old song with existing audio recording
new recording with no overdub, i.e. replace
retain audio past last recorded - either check/unchecked always keeps old audio

Case 4
on occasions with old audio recordings a new recording ends after some 10 bars


Is it just me ... ???

Can you give more details about the monitoring settings and also the settings to record the audio.

Your explanation doesn't mention the Record Audio Dialog Window or it's settings.

Many thanks for your comments!

No problems with audio settings.


Troubles initially started with saving an audio recording with or without "Retain audio past last recorded" as it did not seem to work as expected.

I then started a new song to have a fresh start for further testing.
An audio recording was made and saving was done with unchecked "Retain ..."
The logic in BIAB is then, as there is just an empty .wav file, that it will not save anything.
There is a default setting when you initially save with a checked "Retain ..." which seems like a quick SW fix for resolving this operating case. Could be improved in functionality, e.g. check file size and grey-out the "Retain ..." option.

But still the "Retain ..." option does not work, it never deletes any audio after the latest take!


Appreciate comment from PG Music.

Thanks for clarifying your setup. With the additional information you provided, I would do a 'return to factory settings' and restart the program and that may clear the glitch you're having with saving. Otherwise, you also may want to contact PG Staff on live chat.

I already tested the reset to factory settings and also reverted back to previous version but it was not a part of the problem.

Trying to chase it with PGMusic

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."
