#Band in a box review full version

This is also the slowest version of BIAB to shut down - while that isn't really a bad thing, I think it may be indicative of programming problems that they felt they had to release the program with anyway. In previous versions, with just a couple hundred fewer styles (however many PG added with the UltraPak+ upgrade) it took far less time. Luckily I have lots of audio files so I was able to work with my student on improvising but it was very frustrating. It took SOOOOOOOOO damn long to rebuild that styles list, meanwhile BIAB was useless. I always do the 'slow rebuild' because I have a lot of aftermarket styles (many of Bob Norton's as well as others that he sells) so I always want to have all my styles included. After an upgrade? I had rebuilt the styles list as expected when I installed BIAB2021, so why would I need to rebuild it again? Crazy. After the upgrade completed (second try) I was trying to use BIAB2021 in a music lesson and I couldn't change the style because there was a popup message telling me I needed to rebuild the styles list. I had a very frustrating time doing the upgrade yesterday evening. The initial installation was very slow and took far longer than the message that was to the effect that 'including all the styles may take up to an hour' - it was more like 3 hours to complete the installation. Every second time I try to use it, it takes quite a long time to load and finally get to the main BIAB screen.

This is the slowest version of BIAB to load and get to usable status I've ever used. The great thing is that there was an update - the bad thing is that they needed it so quickly.

My first impressions of BIAB2021 are: It's barely a Beta version, let alone a full version presentable to the public! With the original release just barely a week in people's hands they already have an update! What does that say about how ready the release version really was? These are my opinions and experiences only and others may have opposing views.
