BIAB 2013 on Mac still allows you to copy a block to a new measure but no transposing nor multiple pastes in a single step.īIAB 2013 for Mac has fewer copy options than the old version from Windows.
This was great for creating practice backing tracks but could also be used for cycling in a tune. You could even set it to do multiple pastes, each one a fixed number of semitones higher or lower than the previous.
The first things I noticed are features that were present in 2007 on Windows but are missing in 2013 on Mac. I purchased the software for what it can do, not how it looks. I believe it shows a lack of commitment to keeping the program fresh or even of keeping an eye on usability. The first thing anyone notices when you open the program is how dated it looks. I am going to concentrate on those things that immediately struck me as important or deficient. But you should read the comments as well if you want a more complete review of the software. I do not disagree with any of his review. There is an excellent review from Wheat Williams on the Mac 2013 version. But the cross-grade price for the USB drive starts at $299, so I decided to wait before I committed to that. I am both delighted and disappointed in the new version. These Hard Disks are plug in play, no installation required. They include many more options for bands and styles. The hard disk versions come pre-loaded on an external USB hard drive.
BAND IN A BOX 2016 REVIEW UPGRADE
You or I can upgrade for the difference in price if they are on the same version, or for the appropriate upgrade price later. I first confirmed I could upgrade to one of the hard disk versions later. I purchased the Pro edition which is the least expensive. I broke down recently and purchased a cross-grade from my old Windows version to the newest Mac version of Band-in-a-Box. Again, these are good for what they are – but they are not a replacement for Band-in-a-Box. I’ve also tried iPad apps such as SessionBand. Instead of BIAB I tried Impro-visor, a free cross platform tool that has some similarities to BIAB. My current computer is a Retina Mac Book Pro with an updated Maverick OS X. That version is on an old Windows XP laptop of mine that takes several tries to get booted without error. I used Band-in-a-Box (BIAB) for years and loved it – mostly.
