Website Modernization Update, I hope there is one to go with the new BB18, get away from the bright white background, have dark background with light text, something easier on the eyes.
I hope not. I like it the way it is. Why would I want a PG website flicking from advert to advert when what I WANT is to read what is on the PG WEBSITE. Just because its trendy doesn't make it good.

One consideration is printer ink. The current design requires very little ink to print. Another consideration is page loading time. Yet another is readability on a phone with adaptive design. And finally, I care about content way more than appearance.
Why are there two threads on this?

I'm not suggesting it to cater for older users only stuck in the past, it is purely to get the software out there on a higher level to a new generation of users and a younger audience as well (including Mario, he's all for new & change).
You can view it on an old CRT Monochrome monitor with a Hercules Graphics Card, you will get just the green phosphor on the black background.

Thanx for putting this old phart in with the younger audience!
I believe that packaging plays a very important part for many customers. I think that a lot of people are turned off my some packaging. Not just here but for any product that is available for John Q Public.
I'm all for anything that will expand PGMusic's customer base. Things like 64 bit, open all MIDI channels for MIDI and RTs and RDs and any combination, rewrite the menus, better packaging, etc, I think will do the trick.
Ps - I should have added more contemporary styles (both real styles and MIDI, RDs and RDs.
YMMV
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.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
The web site (as well as the forum) interface also needs work in terms of display on smart phones and tablets. I spend a lot of time zooming in and out just to get to the content.

Sure, PG's website (forums especially) is kinda quirky, but unique, and I find that I've gotten used to its quirkiness. So why bother changing the regular website. Now for mobiles and tablets, that's a separate issue that can be handled separately, way I see it.
Good video, but why did the new crappy designed product take over sales? Marketing and packaging! If the old better designed product used the same marketing and packaging then it would still be the number one product.
What this proves IMHO is that John Q Public goes more for marketing and packaging and not what is the superior product. YMMV

I remember Quicken used to let you buy a box (marketing and packaging) that had a CD in it. You would put the CD in, and then it would take you to the Quicken web site, where you could download the software.
That was for those who didn't want to just download the software, but wanted a "boxed" version.
LOL.

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
-Overwrite Reaper Track: You can overwrite previous content on the destination Reaper track.
-Move to Project Folder: With this option, you can move the Plugin tracks to the Reaper project folder.
-Send Reaper Instructions Enable this option to send the Reaper Instructions instead of rendering audio tracks, which is faster.
-Render Audio & Instructions: Enable this option to generate audio files and the Reaper instructions.
-Send Tracks After Generating: This allows the Plugin to automatically send tracks to Reaper after generating.
-Send Audio for MIDI Track: Enable this option to send rendered audio for MIDI tracks.
-Send RealCharts with Audio: If this option is enabled, Enable this option to send RealCharts with audio.
