2017 is kind of an "infrastructure release" in the sense that a lot of small changes have been made that improve performance.
...all that plus more than twice the usual number of real tracks! and all the usual new features!
There's good stuff happenin' in PGMusic land! Think the 201 realtracks was available in biab 16 as well, so maybe not a new thing. musiclover

There's good stuff happenin' in PGMusic land! Think the 201 realtracks was available in biab 16 as well, so maybe not a new thing. musiclover I based that on an actual quote from one of the write-ups on the new version that was part of the beta test... but the version comparison shows that about 200 new RT has been the norm for the past few years.. http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.ultra.htmSorry for the confusion. The blurb in the beta document might not have made it to the live ads... but I'll start reading thru the live ads to see if this has been reported correctly. Thanks for pointing that out to me.. I don't want to make false claims. update:================= the same statement appears in the quick start video

I can attest that I read what Pat read. Yes, post when you've researched that. Maybe use the Internet archive to see last year's announcement.

I tried to check out last year's pages about a different issue and found that PG has set their website to not allow archiving by the internet archive ( https://web.archive.org/). That is disappointing!

That's something new. I used it this summer to answer a forum question.
EDIT: Ah, yes, robots.txt Too bad. I will ask about this.

There are 202 new ones this release. There were 201 new ones last year. All years before that there 101 new ones. (Some of those years had a .5 release with more Realtracks.
So the usual number with the December release is 101. So this year release of 202 is double the usual number.
Have Fun!

I guess the irony contained in the post didn't shine through... maybe because I forgot the emoticon? While there has been much support for 64-bit, as of yet no one has provided a convincing need. Addressing additional memory is not needed at this time, and JBridge allows access to 64-bit plugins. Presenting BIAB as a plug-in would be a better solution for my needs and my workflow, being used to work with EZDrummer and EZKeys THEN maybe PG Music could take the plunge into uncharted 64-bit territory. One can dream, isn't it?

That would be really nice, agreed. Yeah, I missed the meaning on the other thing. We are a little punchy after testing so hard.

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."
