It is time to write my monthly blog and was wondering if anybody has any ideas for topics you would like me to research and cover.

Windows 10 (64bit) M-Audio Fast Track Pro, Band in a Box 2024, Cubase 13, Cakewalk and far too many VST plugins that I probably don't need or will ever use

Yes. Unfortunately it is likely not something that you'll be able to research quickly and then concisely compact into a single blog. It is something I would like to learn more about and am finding there is not much available for beginners. It is full of features and I'm sure that once I would get into it from the standpoint of understanding the principles it is based on, I would certainly find it useful and probably easy.
Me, I can't get a handle on effectively and efficiently using the guitar fretboard and BIAB songs and tutorials as practice tools. I have an understanding of tablature and I can load songs while displaying the guitar fretboard. I can't put two and two together yet.
How about the importance of music theory to a preforming musician?
Regardless of whether you read music or not or the genre of music you are playing you are using music theory. Many don't realize this so maybe a short, if possible, intro to music theory will help them. Nothing too deep, just something brief like how a I-VI-V comes from the major scaled and how all music is really based the major scale.
Just my thoughts.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

This music theory topic could be really interesting, seconded!
some thoughts on time management how you manage to do the musical things you do while still attending to the other thing life brings your way
a deep dive on how you produce videos like
and its instrumental version including how you select the material
the work involved involved in the upkeep of your social media efforts by platform and how you determine whether it's worth it
features you'd like to see in biab\rb that would make you musical life more productive
thanks for all you've done thus far looking forward to your future output

Music lover, Charlie, Mario, Will and pghboemike Thanks so much for the suggestions. I think I am going to go for the "easier" option suggested by pghboemike on the making of the videos since time is short.

Thanks for this. This is definitely some thing I can cover in future blog posts.

Charlie, I have not used the fret board display in BIAB to learn songs. (I also dont read TAB). I am currently learning to read music so it may be a useful exercise for me to try and display the music for a song along side the guitar fret board in BIAB and try and play along. I will try it out and see how it goes. I would think that the guitar fret board display would be useful if you already know your scales very well...anybody use the BIAB fret board to learn a song?

Mario. This is great idea for a blog (or a series of blogs). Starting with I-VI-V. I have been thinking of introducing "guest bloggers" and this may be a good subject. Are there any volunteers out there?

All great ideas and doable, thanks, will put them on the list.

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
