![]() ![]() The update package includes only the new programs and content and is available by download or on a thumb drive. When there is a new release, purchase the update package and bonus packages offered during the new release sale. Once a customer has Band-in-a-Box on an external hard drive future updates and purchases can be installed to the drive.Ī user with an Ultra or Audiophile package can ensure their existing package meets current standards by applying the free updates offered throughout the year. The external hard drive contains the programs and content and can be used on any computer with a free USB port. The solution for first time customers wanting the Ultra or Audiophile packages is to purchase the optional, hard drive. At the same time there is an issue where some computers have limited storage space particularly on the primary storage drive. I agree that PG Music content is expansive and takes up a great deal of storage. To me, Band-in-a-Box is the largest music software on Earth. I wonder, if I start to install and extract all these exe files to the default C:\bb folder, is it going to make a mess? I already have BiaB 2022 with a few add-ons and paks in that bb folder, is it going to generate duplicates? I don't want to use the master_realtracks_installer file, because it's possible to miss out a few installers in the process, and I have to later go through the log file to check which ones were not installed, would be very time consuming. Here is what I plan to do: Double click and install the exe one by one. To be clear, I'm not really a fan of Kontakt Komplete or Ueberschall Complete Bundle, even though they're pretty large too. I'm not here to complain, but BiaB is the number one largest music software I've ever used in my life. ![]() So, over 360 GB of disk space in order to store BiaB program and exe installers. Which means I will need an additional 1.3 times of disk space to install these exe files. I agree with Matt Finley, never delete the exe installer files. Have to try and get my BiaB working again.On one of my studio's Windows 7 64 bit computers, our IT department just copied over 160 GB of exe installer files of BiaB 2023 Ultra Pack, and then told me it's not their job to do the install, it's mine. What I was looking uo about the styles, on the Mailing List (there's a ML, rather than a Forum), there was some discussion about mixing/changing styles within a song and evidently you cannot mix style types (as regards a 'midi style' or a 'real audio style') but you can swap from one style to another mid song if the styles are the same type. The 2022/23 versions (the system is still on the market, and maintained with annual updates) seems to have must of the old version I've got, but PILES of new things incl lots of stull re 'REAL AUDIO' which I assume is WAV type versions of much of the system for use with moders DAWs - BUT - the old midi type stuff is still there. Wide range of Styles, ( think there were 90odd built in) and you can create your own, or extra variations on existing ones? Then load it into a sequencer, add extra things, incl melody track(s), change instruments (BiaB had some options for this, but not too many). ![]() NB, this was all DOS software back then!!Įsp useful when you had the 'Tab' data, say for guitar use, but also sometimes for piano, as BiaB gave you something close to a spreadsheet type entry for the bars, you could enter the tab data (with repeats, variations, etc), generate the complete file, test it, change things, then when OK save it as SMF. I don't know if such software has been mentioned before?īack about 1990/91 I got a copy of the (then) latest version of BiaB, and used it quite a bit for certain things, it worked pretty well in conjuction with other midi things, and sequencer type software. ![]()
