bonjour tout le monde, et bien sûr, tous mes vœux pour 2023! :-))
c'est une petite série d'inquiétudes à propos de Band-in-a-Box qui m'amène ici. Raison pour quoi je vous demande d'excuser par avance la longueur de ce message, tout en vous remerciant de votre patience!
Je connaissais bien Band-in-a-Box. Très bien, même. J'ai longuement utilisé cet extraordinaire logiciel, par le passé, jusqu'en 2008, où je suis passé sur Mac, me procurant la version qui venait de sortir à l'époque, une expérience très moyenne...
Maintenant, revenu sur PC (ouf!), je me prépare à acquérir la version actuelle de Band-in-a-Box, ce qui m'amène à quelques questions importantes:
A) Autrefois, quand j'achetais un logiciel (y compris Biab), il était sur CD, et je l'installais moi-même. Il semble que, de nos jours, on achète ce genre de choses obligatoirement "en ligne"...pourquoi pas? Seulement voilà, j'ai un projet:
Faire monter, très prochainement, une deuxième config, très puissante, que je réserverai exclusivement à la musique (qui est mon métier) et à tous les programmes dont j'ai besoin. J'y installerai donc Band-in-a-Box, après quoi je le supprimerai de mon ordi actuel, où il ne sera qu'en transit, en somme. Mais en attendant, il me faut bel et bien Band-in-a-Box sur ma bécane présente, même si celle-ci ne suffit pas...
D'où cette première question: Qu'achète-t-on, dans le cas de Biab? Achète-t-on l'installeur, ou bien se le fait-on forcément "installer en ligne", ce qui m'arrange beaucoup moins...?
En effet, je ne tiens pas à devoir l'acheter une deuxième fois et tout recommencer quand j'aurai ma nouvelle config'...
B) Mon PC actuel est en 64 bits et ma prochaine config' le sera aussi, forcément. Je ne pense pas que ça pose de problèmes, mais à tout hasard, je vous pose la question, probablement inutile : Existe-t-il une version de Biab pouvant tourner en 64 bits?
C) Sur les versions que j'ai connues jusqu'en 2004, je pouvais fabriquer mon propre style d'accompagnement, en cliquant sur une icône bi-colore intitulée "STY", et de là fabriquer mon propre style en empruntant, par exemple, la "bass" d'un des styles pré-existants, les "drums" d'un autre, le "piano" d'un autre, etc, etc...
Question: cette fonctionnalité existe-t-elle encore?
D) Sur les versions d'avant, je pouvais écrire une partition, en cliquant sur une icône montrant 2 croches noires sur fond vert, écriture simple et efficace, le click droit permettant les ajustements essentiels à faire sonner les choses acceptablement.
Question: est-ce encore possible? E) Dernière inquiétude: dans un menu (je ne sais plus lequel, mais je le retrouverai, j'en suis certain), se trouvait une fonctionnalité nommée "Master tuning", par laquelle je pouvais, en quelque sorte, accorder Band-in-a-Box comme on le fait de n'importe quel instrument de musique, en faisant sonner un "La" de concert, puis en le montant ou en le descendant comme je voulais. Pratique, très pratique.
Question: Le peut-on toujours sur la version actuelle? Je suppose que ceci est en relation avec la qualité de la carte-son, mais bon...
Dernier mot: Les "Real Tracks", et ce genre de choses, ne constituent pas dans l'instant une priorité pour moi. Je m'y intéresserai certainement plus tard, celà dit.
Et voilà!
Il me reste à vous renouveler mes remerciements pour votre patience, et vous souhaiter de nouveau le tout meilleur pour 2023!
cordialement

Not sure where to start, but translation seems to be a good place to get some help (with Google's assistance): ---------------------
hello everyone, and of course, all the best for 2023! :-))
it's a small series of concerns about Band-in-a-Box that brings me here. This is why I ask you to excuse the length of this message in advance, while thanking you for your patience!
I knew Band-in-a-Box well. Very well even. I used this extraordinary software for a long time, in the past, until 2008, when I switched to Mac, getting the version that had just been released at the time, a very average experience...
Now, back on PC (phew!), I am preparing to acquire the current version of Band-in-a-Box, which brings me to some important questions:
A) In the past, when I bought software (including Biab), it was on CD, and I installed it myself. It seems that, these days, we buy this kind of things "online"...why not? Only here, I have a project:
To bring up, very soon, a second config, very powerful, which I will reserve exclusively for music (which is my job) and for all the programs I need. I will therefore install Band-in-a-Box there, after which I will delete it from my current computer, where it will only be in transit, in short. But in the meantime, I do need Band-in-a-Box on my present bike, even if this one is not enough...
Hence this first question: What do we buy, in the case of Biab? Do we buy the installer, or do we necessarily have it "installed online", which suits me much less...?
Indeed, I don't want to have to buy it a second time and start all over again when I have my new config'...
B) My current PC is 64 bits and my next configuration will be too, of course. I don't think it's a problem, but just in case, I ask you the question, probably useless: Is there a version of Biab that can run in 64 bits?
C) On the versions I knew until 2004, I could make my own accompaniment style, by clicking on a two-color icon called "STY", and from there create my own style by borrowing, for example, the "bass" of one of the pre-existing styles, the "drums" of another, the "piano" of another, etc, etc...
Question: does this feature still exist?
D) On earlier versions, I could write a score, by clicking on an icon showing 2 black eighth notes on a green background, simple and effective writing, the right click allowing essential adjustments to make things sound acceptably.
Question: is it still possible?
E) Last concern: in a menu (I don't know which one, but I'll find it, I'm sure), there was a feature called "Master tuning", by which I could, in a way, tune Band-in-a-Box like one does any musical instrument, by sounding an "A" in concert, then raising it or lowering it as I wanted. Practical, very practical.
Question: Can it still be on the current version? I suppose this has to do with the quality of the sound card, but hey...
Last word: Real Tracks and that sort of thing is not a priority for me right now. I'll definitely look into it later, though.
And There you go!
It only remains for me to thank you again for your patience, and wish you all the best for 2023 again!

je vais essayer d'aider: A): Vous pouvez passer d'un ancien Mac à un PC. L'option est sur cette page : https://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.htmLe téléchargement contient un programme d'installation que vous exécutez et que vous pouvez installer sur jusqu'à trois ordinateurs que vous utilisez. B : Band in a Box est désormais définitivement compatible 64 bits. C : Vous pouvez toujours créer vos propres styles. D : Créer sa propre partition est toujours possible. Il peut aussi y avoir des améliorations. E : Accordage maître. Je ne l'utilise pas, mais je suis convaincu qu'il n'a pas été supprimé. D'autres en sauront plus. (j'espère que ça aide un peu) Il y a aussi une page BiaB en français ici : https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=15&page=1-------------------- English: I will try to help: A): You can cross grade from earlier Mac to PC. The option is on this page: https://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.htmThe download has an installer which you run, and you can install on up to three computers that are used by you. B: Band in a Box is now definitely 64 bits capable. C: You can still create your own Styles. D: Creating your own score is still possible. There may be improvements also. E: Master tuning. I don't use this, but I'm confident that it has not been removed. Others will know more. (I hope this helps a little) There is also a French BiaB page here: https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=15&page=1

Addendum:
A) Vous pouvez installer jusqu'à trois PC à tout moment, bien qu'il ne soit pas permis d'exécuter plus d'une copie à la fois. Si vous devez déplacer BiaB d'une machine vers une nouvelle machine, vous devez d'abord désactiver l'ancienne copie.
E) Oui, Master Tuning fait toujours partie de BiaB.
En règle générale, PG Music s'efforce de maintenir la compatibilité et les fonctionnalités entre les versions, bien qu'il existe certaines complications en ce qui concerne la version Mac. Si BiaB faisait quelque chose dans le passé, il fait probablement quelque chose de similaire maintenant.
----------------------
A) You can install on up to three PCs at any time, though it is not permitted to run more than one copy at a time. If you need to move BiaB from one machine tio a new machine, you should de-activate the old copy first.
E) Yes, Master Tuning is still part of BiaB.
Generally, PG Music tries very hard to maintain compatibility and features across versions, though there are some complication where the Mac version is concerned. If BiaB used to do something in the past, it probably does something similar now.

Hello AudioTrack!
un grand merci pour vos réponses, claires et méthodiques comme je les espérais, et qui me rassurent parfaitement!
J'ai toujours couplé, par le passé, Band-in-a-Box avec d'autres programmes, pour des raisons de qualité de "rendu" final, pour les occasions que j'avais de faire entendre mes compositions et arrangements, mais franchement, pour le clarinettiste que je suis, Biab reste un modèle de programme d'accompagnement et de travail, moyennant de se donner la peine d'en découvrir les richesses!
Donc, de nouveau merci, et à bientôt sur ce même forum, je pense,
cordialement

Alceste's response (with Google's help again): Hello AudioTrack!
a big thank you for your answers, clear and methodical as I hoped, and which reassure me perfectly!
I always coupled, in the past, Band-in-a-Box with other programs, for reasons of quality of final "rendering", for the occasions which I had to make hear my compositions and arrangements, but frankly, for the clarinetist that I am, Biab remains a model of support and work program, by taking the trouble to discover its riches!
So, thank you again, and see you soon on this same forum, I think,
cordially
