I have put this first request on before, but it has been awhile. I think either one of these functions would improve biab tremendously, 1. Pick your own realtrack pattern, or 2. freeze and regenerate bar by bar would put biab over the top in ease and would drop the time needed to create tremendously. It would be just like highlighting the part you want regenerated in realband. As much as Band in a Box has improved from its beginning, and it is amazing; to me where it still lacks dreadfully is the players still at times want to go off on their own tangent, which sometimes may only be once, and on an extreme rare occasion may mean none, which is great, other times which is more normal, it is like you have a disgruntled player who wants to exit the band,lol. It would make it easy if you could freeze each individual bar and then only regenerate the ones needed or if there was a pull down menu on each instrument that contained all of the different 1 beat, 2 beat, etc files so you could then choose the one for the song to fit the chords entered. You could still generate the entire song and then just replace the files needed. To me the pick your own pattern would be the simplest as it would mean the player only plays what you call for and you would not have to keep hitting regenerate until he comes back in the flow.
It would also be great if you could slide individual tracks bar by bar, as sometimes the bass might fit well at -2 but at another section might need to go to +2 this would also make it possible to fit the lead instruments in the way they would really play against the vocal.
If The "insert bars" tab was added to right click.
Also something that would be great is if the bar settings and chord settings were together in one drop down menu for each individual instrument, so you could do rest and holds, shots and pushes for each individual instrument and not have to do them as a group or choose from several, I know you can fade an increase volume, it would be nice if you could have the other features contained in that same menu.
On the piano roll; left click once to enter notes, double left click to erase notes, instead of having to hold down ctrl and shift to get the pencil up.
Also on the piano roll right click to bring down a "change note value" and "snap to" lengths, to make changing note values quicker.
As always thanks to all of the men and women at Pg Music for such an amazing and outstanding product, I know you guys are always trying to improve the product, I use it a lot as I know most of the people here do, these are just some things that I have noticed that weigh you down when creating a backing track, {above all things the most time consuming is what I call the disgruntled player or DP for short}! Thanks you!

I suggested that already many times on different topics.
Good idea.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
