Hello All,
I am running Windows 11 and run BIAB off of the BIAB DISK. Is there any way I can install BIAB 2023 over my 2022 DISK, or do I have to add ALL of my updates and addons to the new 2023 disk??? It is really a PITA adding all of those files and any easy suggestions would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Dave

By DISK, I assume you mean the USB drive that PG Music ships.
I keep the installation files for all add-ons I purchase, so if I didn't install to a computer but only used external drives like it seems you are doing, I can run each of those add-on installation files to update any new drive. It doesn't take terribly long but I agree it's annoying. If you did not save those installation files and you purchased from PG Music, you can log on to your account (not the forum) and download them again.
Once you've finished updating the 2023 drive, consider connecting both the 2023 and 2022 drives, and backing up the 2023 onto the 2022. Give that some time to run undisturbed, especially if you have the nearly 2 TB audiophile version. Now you have a working up-to-date backup.
Does that help?

Generally the installation put a few things onto the C: drive and the bulk into the /bb/ folder, so if your 2022 is in E:/bb and you your new 2023 is on F: the install will likely detect E:/bb and install to=he new stuff there. If for any reason it doesn't you can just tell it when you get to that point. Normally I believe it also copies the older .exe files away for safe keeping.
You can keep BiaB's RealDrums and RealTracks separately as well if you wish.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful. Kawai MP6, Korg M50, Ui24R, Saffire Pro 40. AVL:MXE Linux; Windows 11; Win8.1: Scarletts BIAB2022 UltraPAK, Reaper, a bunch of stuff.

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."
