Hallo mos,
Herzlich willkomen im Forum.
Die Frage kannst du in erster Linie natürlich nur selbst entscheiden, und es hängt wirklich sehr davon ab, wie du BiaB einsetzt und ein bisschen auch, welches Instrument Du selbst spielst (Gitarre?). Und klar, es hängt natürlich auch davon ab, wie viel du in dein Hobby investieren möchtest.
Aber ich kann gern ein paar Gründe nennen, die aus meiner Sicht für ein Upgrade sprechen. Es sind seit der BiaB-Version 2011 viele neue Programmfunktionen hinzugekommen, unter anderem die Möglichkeit, BiaB als Plugin in einer DAW-Software zu betreiben. Dazu gekommen sind seitdem u.a. RealCharts, eine Funktion, um Realtracks notiert anzuzeigen und auszudrucken (cool fürs Lernen der Solis z.B.). Band in a Box ist inzwischen eine 64-Bit-Anwendung und läuft bestens unter Windows 10 und 11. Es enthält jetzt eine VST-Schnittstelle, um aktuelle VST-Synths anzusteuern, damit können viel bessere Sounds gerade auch bei den MIDI-Instrumente erreicht werden. Seit der Version 2011 sind auch sehr viele neue RealTracks und RealStyles hinzugekommen. Du kannst in jedem Fall alle deine alten 2011er-Styles und Songfiles weiterverwenden, PGMusic (die Entwickler von Band in a Box) legt großen Wert auf Rückwärtskompatibiltät, es spielt auch Songfiles von 1990 noch ab.
Es gibt keine Versionsübersicht seit Version 2011 im Netz, aber evtl. bekommst du das beim PG-Support direkt (support@pgmusic.com). Die sind sehr hilfsbereit.
Wenn du ein Upgrade erwägst, würde ich dir raten, noch bis Anfang/Mitte Dezember zu warten. Dann erscheint die neue Version 2022 (zunächst englisch, das lässt sich später kostenlos mit der deutschen Sprachversion ergänzen) und es wird dann erfahrungsgemäß wieder ein stark vergünstigtes Upgrade-Angebot geben. Dann ist es besonders attraktiv, dein 2011er Ultrapak auf das 2022er Ultrapak zu bringen. Das "normale" Upgrade von Ultrapak 2011 auf Ultrapak 2022 liegt hier im Shop bei rund 300 $, es ist gut denkbar, dass es im Angebot dann bei deutlich unter 200 $ liegen wird und es wird noch ein Bonuspak gratis dazugeben.

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."
