If the inability to regenerate RealTracks in the Utility tracks is tied to old systems not being able to handle more tracks being generated, then make it an option in Preferences to permit all or some utility tracks to regenerate, so that the user can decide if his system can handle the extra load.

If it is an option to regenerate or not to regenerate each and every utility track then +1


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hmm.. if real RTs are coming to utility tracks soon, I think they should act as normal RT mixer tracks. If there is no content or it(they) are frozen they would not regenerate by default?

As I am getting used to new mixer, it lets you select which tracks are present in the mixer. I assume the ones are not selected, will not regenerate.

But, sure +1 to have that option for loyal customers that have slow machines. I guess a more of comfort safeguard thing... If that is slowing development.

I agree until it’s tracks should be able to generate. I remember discussion that this is coming. To me it is a cool feature for those who want complete projects in the “box”.

If I were in charge I would have not added 16 utility tracks. I would have added 8 “style” type tracks giving a total of 16 that could generate RT/midi. That would have been a really good setup. Maybe add one or two extra audio tracks to add wave files, or record vocals on

I would do the same.

With Build 804, if I understand it correctly, what I hope for is now available, so I set this suggestion to "resolved." I will get my copy on Monday and after I install it I will update to 804 and give it a try. This is very exciting.

Yes, I've seen that. Mind blown. The possibilities inside of BIAB for more tracks, of regenerating those tracks, of editing those tracks, of having multiple takes so easily available ... holy cow!

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."
