Band in a Box 2011 is released!

Looks like the "Audiophile" edition doesn't get the discount unless you already have an Audiophile version? Its feature is "Uncompressed WAV files for ALL RealTracks & and RealDrums".  What format are the realtracks and realdrums in, if not WAV format in the EverythingPAK?

IM hooked there is an Iphone app that syncs with the desktop

IM IN !!!!

the non-audiophile version has the audio files in wma format.  I don't know anything about the upgrade to audiophile - I've never decided that was something I wanted.  I have the 2010.5 ultrapakplus, so my upgrade is $99.

MM - that would make sense IF I had an iPhone!

kson - I agree that the GUI is very busy.  when I frist bought BIAB back with version 10, IIRC, I didn't even use it for a year or so.  maybe 2.  I finally decided to give it another chance even tho it was so busy and not all that intuitive to learn how to use. 

once I gave it a chance, however, and learned how to use it, it's a VERY powerful tool and fantastic for helping to create songs as well as creating backing tracks for instruments I can't play.

I am using Band in a Box older version and I was waiting for Band in a Box 2011's new version. I am very  much happy to read this news. It is  very much good to share with us, this application is very much needed and really it is very nice to inform.

Thanks for the heads up Reece.

I reckon I'll have $49 worth of that.

hard to beat that deal!

I have not paid for the tutorials and lessons myself.  They would be worth it if you need them - but there's no way to know if you need them or not until you try it!

IT IS NOT SHIPPING UNTIL THIS FRIDAY GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

that rankles my hinkles

so the download doesn't include the real tracks?  it did last time I purchased it!

I haven't pulled the trigger on this one myself yet this year, I'm still debating.  although the ball's in the court of pulling out my CC!

The thing about BB is that there is just so much stuff in that package.  I was totally amazed at all that it can do, and all that functionality can be very overwhelming.

When I first got it, I was a bit taken back by all the things in it...where do I start?

So.... I remember the reason I bought it... I simply wanted a steel guitar in a song..... that's all.... so I then set about learning how to do just that one thing.

Since buying it, I have obviously learned how to work with it in more ways, but it's safe to say that I ignore 80% of what is there..... a valid question would be, do I even know what's there?

I have found BB to be a valuable songwriting tool and so easy to use to "scratchpad" some ideas together to see if they work.

I plan to call or chat with them to see what is included for me in the upgrade.   With over 1700 midi styles and hundreds more RT styles... I haven't even come close to exploring them all yet.

edit: awww heck.... I pulled the trigger..... 7 to 14 days from now, I'll see if it's worth it.  Reading the list of new included items..... it looks promising. I have been selling some old stuff on eBay so yeah... why not.

You SHOULD have received a download link for the 2011 exe and the 10 pak...

No realtracks/real drums download  since that is 35 gigabytes of material .

I did the 2009 Hard drive pack and it started flaking out on me , so as sonn as I receive the 2011 hard drive all of it is going on my other HDs in the PC

$25US for the extra bonus pack (it comes with one bonus pack, the 2nd is $25).

so I spent another $179.  it's only money, right?

 Thanks Beaj (& please don't tell the wife)

LOL!!
 
I've given the huge headache of all the bill paying to the good lady of the house and I've had to get more & more creative in justifying my purchases...."long term investment for the children, no brainer, etc....". To get this BIAB, I've decided to sell my Mesa Boogie Blue Angel.....I just don't think I can justify a $329 purchase....lol.    

ok I bit the bullet on ultrapluspak (what a great price!!!!)  However I used up my X1 upgrade cash....so until next year.

My old version of BIAB is from 2003 (or 4).   So i have a question.  Is this newer version VST compatible?  i.e. can I load it as a soft synth in Sonar?

I believe it is. I know I saw it somewhere and I think (pretty sure) that I opened it inside MC4 as a plug in.
