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?
Hi Bernie, it’s a huge download, I’m currently downloading mine, and it’s taking quite a while. Maybe up to a couple of days. I have unlimited broadband so doesn’t matter how huge and how long it’s taking. I basically wanted to try it from scratch so I haven’t installed it over my original version YET.
If you have a spare computer to download it too, and the internet ie you’re not fixedto how many gigs you can download per month. Why not try it, I figured better than waiting 2 or 3 weeks to get here to Australia, if not longer.I’m down loading mine to a spare USB hard drive, don’t ha ave the capacity to download it to my laptop. Figure it gives me a spare backup. The files basically get downloaded individually ie there’s somewhere between 30 to 40 files, but once you have dowlonded the program itself, and installed it there’s an option called” Download Manager”, which will sort downloading the files for you, it can download somewhere between 1 to 4 files at a time ( maybe more but I don’t think recommended). Basically set and forget. At the end it will even install it ,or so it says. Haven’t gotten that far yet.
If nothing else maybe just download the program so that you can play around with it, you should be able to use midi styles, but you can’t you the real styles till you download the tracks.
