That’s great Bernie, if you haven’t upgraded in 10 years, you are going to notice a HUGE difference. Probably see you over there.

Would love to see this for Varranger too
You had to be an expensive influence till the end of 2017! LOL I have 2017 BIAB Ultrapack. I don't upgrade every year though PG Music comes out with enough features every year to tempt users to upgrade yearly. The plugin feature is very interesting and I jumped on it. I, too, love to see vArranger as a plug-in. I hear it's quite a bit of work to turn a standalone program into a VST plugin, though.

I just received the receipt and download link from BIAB, saying the physical drive will arrive soon. For one thing, their soon is a couple of weeks. My question is whether or not to use the link to download this big program, although I have plenty of storage space on my desktop, i7 17in LT,and ext hard drive. I am excluding my small Asus Transformer, which I gig with, along with my Pa4X. I am planning on making tracks in the studio and transferring to them. I am leaning on downloading to my fast office laptop, so as to not tie up my main pc.

I am usually not this indecisive, but BIAB is new to my workflow. Is there any chink in my thinking?

It’s been since 2008-2009 since I used BIAB, I never used it live but was able to create lead sheets that I still have and occasionally use from my pdf library. I also used it as a practice tool to play along with.

Bernie,

I can't tell you what computer to use-I decided to install on a USB drive myself. But remember, if you do decide to download the program PG Music's download manager (help/utilities in the main program) will speed up the process. You can also use a third party downloader.

Just a download program you can obtain from the Internet. They recommend a Firefox plugin called "downthemall" but I imagine there are many. More info:

Question for Bachus or anyone here. Is anyone running BIAB on a Mac platform? I have both Macs and Windows machines but the Mac upgrades are usually 6 months behind the Windows versions.

I have an old windows license laying around not used...

Untill a few years ago, the mac version was quite different from the windows version..
Nowerdays, its the same version, but indeed released a few months later..

Best bet is there is only a very small team of programmers at PG
And they start working on a mac conversion if the pc version is finished..


I tried upgrading the windows version to a mac version a few years ago..
But it was not possible, so i decided to say goodbye to biab..
