The forum is much slower this time.
I watched. This forum is too laggy to the Internet at three a.m. to three p.m. in the United States. Do you feel it?

I didn't notice that here. The performance is fairly consistent. Quite acceptable, actually. Maybe the problem issue you notice is not United States (or Canada), but coming from somewhere else?

Swingbabymix: Yesterday on a post you said you had trouble streaming the audio demos because your internet service was so slow. That could be part of the problem with you seeing slowness on the forum webpage.

To test your internet download speed go to www.speedtest.net and click the GO button in the middle of the page.

Let us know what the following results are.

Ping, Download and Upload

As an example, my service is with AT&T and here are my results

Ping = 47ms (milli-seconds)
Download = 48.50 mbps (megabytes per second)
Upload = 12.10 mbps (megabytes per second)

The test results can change by a little each time you do the test but that is normal.

Mine is not the fastest service by any means but it is fast enough that I don't have any problems loading webpages or downloading files.

yes. So I was thinking about how to download songs to the computer.
Or can it only be played online at a time?

10 times the download speed that I get! But, I think, you're much further away.

Swingbabymix. That is an incredible test result.

The lower the Ping the better it is and the higher the download and upload results the better it is.

Basically a Ping is how long it takes the other end to answer back to your end. Your Ping test came in at 19ms and mine was 43ms, much slower. Your download is 10 times better then mine. The upload test is always going to be slower then the download test and yours appears to be nothing but normal.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with those results. In fact,I would love to get those results at my end.

Yes, it can be judged by ear, but it is not as convenient as directly at the MIXER station
In addition, there is nothing right in the bar setting now.
If there are multiple styles of display, I think it’s a reasonable requirement to have the name of the musical instrument in the style that MIX plays together.

As for PGMusic site being slow;
those speeds are measured at a highly available and beefy server used for the testing. Most likely it is fairly local and close.
This means a different Route than it is to PGMusic.

The couple times I found the site slow I did a TraceRT (trace route) from the command line and both times found it was some issue out on the internet where my traffic was being routed to Quebec Canada instead of Chicago (which is how it normally went at the time and Quebec was literally the wrong direction) and then back out west and somewhere down the route a relay was really slow.

Wasn't PGMusic's fault .. more of just an internet thing. Who knows, maybe they had a relay down somewhere and rerouted traffic best they could, but for me it was a temporary inconvenience.
Other sites were fine, it was my route to PGMusic that was most affected for my use/observation. And mainly due to one given 'hop'.

Just an idea.

I hope Musk will realize global free satellite internet access as soon as possible

Don’t count on STARLINK yet.

Your Ping is a tiny bit slow but more than acceptable. You are probably paying for 400 Mbs internet service. I have the same speed and have not experienced any difficulty with the PG Music forums. I thought we were told a few years ago that the forum servers were in Quebec.

Rharv is right that Tracert will reveal a bottleneck if it exists.

My download speed is 4mbps, but it really doesn't make mush difference to forum activity. Downloading updates is another matter.

We aren't on fiber and don't expect to get there anytime soon. Also no cable, so we are stuck with overhead wire.

I chaired a three-state conference on broadband in our sparsely populated region. It’s quite amazing how poor the broadband service can be in NY, CT and MA once you get into the rural areas.

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.

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."
