Very happy with the old view. Large screen necessary but everything is there, and easy to access.
The old view is great except the mixer is only half height of the screen. A pain in the anus when you have to scroll back and forth to edit the utility tracks.
The Mixer is floating and resizable in the Classic View. The button is the last to the far right in the Mixer Tabs. It is the two folder icon.

you say bb is for the oldies...but.... show an alternative to bb..i dont see any.
as a tech as ive said in the past the only way to realise how remarkable bb is ..is take programming courses in C++..delpbi...etc etc and assembler and the win api's and also add in the complexities of digital audio and midi programming...this stuff is very complex even for excellent programmers. now add in the complexities of a diverse muso user base all over the world with lots of different language versions...
and the above is just for starters.lol. i know where your coming from but im just trying to give you a taste of life on the other side of the fence...the dev side. i also understand your comments mv.for example in the early 2000s i was so frustrated with music software offerings i very nearly did my own daw...developed a whole spec...the whole schmeer. ...till i realised the huge complexities involved.
do i get frustrated with bb...yep...but i realise pg are in a no win situation with a diverse user base. some people want the old ways and some new exciting ways. its extremely difficult keeping all the user base happy.
please understand im no apologist...i just understand the many complexities daily for pg.
ive had younguns say to me.....oh ive heard bb is for elevator music till ive shown them a rocker....and they go WHAT ? do i know bb like a talented charlie fogle.....nope...but ive been useing it for years and in the process evolved my own methods that make things a bit simpler for me. for example ive been haveing a blast testing out 2024 seeing if i can get elvises vocal style and doing for fun viva las vegas. i dont care the software the song is a huge challenge. but within an hour in bb i had rough backing bed guide tracks for my voc tests done after putting the song title into the picker that recommended some styles....now im testing in the new yummy mpicker lots of rt's and instrumentation for the song.
in summary its all a question of developing ones own work methods. is bb perfect ?...nope but i dont think it ever will be...like lots of software...but the lead guitarist turns up on time and doesnt try to snag the drummers girlfriend...lol..and i dont have to worry like in big studios my budgeted time running out or a channel going out on a mixer or 2 inch mtr.
i wish you a groovy year with lots of success n happiness
Yes, I also spent 15 minutes a few days ago trying to find that "Chord Display" icon. I haven't used the classic view for years, and it seems that that icon can only be found there
Good point. The Chord Display button should be on the full screen mode toolbar. Thanks.
Edit - actually, the chord display button IS on the small toolbar (View panel) Ch.Display.

I'm sorry Andrew, probably I'm missing something, but I'm still unable to find that Ch. Display icon:
I see, it looks like the button got squeezed out on some displays. We could fix that by moving the DrumKit button to the MISC panel.
In the mean-time, you could delete the drum kit button (accessible via Window menu if needed) bb\Data\Images\MainScreenButtons\PNL_VIEWS\SMALLVIEWSdrums_s1_m3_i208
Or if you are using a custom skin, delete the equivalent file from here: \bb\Data\CustomSkins
Thanks Andrew. Not really a problem for me, since now I know it can be accesed from the legacy view or by right clicking on Chords icon, but having the CH Display icon on the view panel - full screen mode (and maybe also update the Feature browser with the right click method) will be benefitial for future users, for sure.
User Video: Next-Level AI Music Editing with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box®
The Bob Doyle Media YouTube channel is known for demonstrating how you can creatively incorporate AI into your projects - from your song projects to avatar building to face swapping, and more!
His latest video, Next-Level AI Music Editing with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box, he explains in detail how you can use the Melodist feature in Band-in-a-Box with ACE Studio. Follow along as he goes from "nothing" to "something" with his Band-in-a-Box MIDI Melodist track, using ACE Studio to turn it into a vocal track (or tracks, you'll see) by adding lyrics for those notes that will trigger some amazing AI vocals!
Wir waren fleißig und haben über 50 neue Funktionen und eine erstaunliche Sammlung neuer Inhalte hinzugefügt, darunter 222 RealTracks, neue RealStyles, MIDI SuperTracks, Instrumental Studies, "Songs with Vocals" Artist Performance Sets, abspielbare RealTracks Set 3, abspielbare RealDrums Set 2, zwei neue Sets von "RealDrums Stems", XPro Styles PAK 6, Xtra Styles PAK 17 und mehr!
Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!
Download and install this to your RealBand 2024 for updated print options, streamlined loading and saving of .SGU & MGU (BB) files, and to add a number of program adjustments that address user-reported bugs and concerns.
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.
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."
