I know most users have forgotten what UserTracks are. They used to play through a Hold or Shot because UserTracks don't have any mechanism for them, but then they were made to stop where a Hold or Shot is. Because you can regenerate and change UserTracks now at any bar as well as Edit Riff function you can get them to play Holds, Push or Shot but you need an option for this so if you want to manually do this the UserTrack will play where a Hold is allowing you to change the UserTrack to the Hold UserTrack that belongs with it. The Holds can also be used for a Push or a Shot as you can easily adjust with the Edit Riff function. I will have to now make up some to demonstrate this.

User tracks are great! I just started playing around with the near the end of last year. I'm very impressed with them.

+1 from me.
Many years ago when UserTracks were first introduced I proposed a main folder, sub-folder arrangement. Under this arrangement the labeled UserTrack folder would continue to be the main folder for that UserTrack. Nested inside the UserTrack main folder would be two sub-folders labeled Shots and Holds. The Shots and Holds folders would contain the necessary audio and supporting files.
The important thing about this arrangement is it allows for shots and holds to be created and identified at the same time regular audio files are created.
For example: Acoustic_Guitar_Even8_120 (Main UserTrack Folder) A Chords.wave A Chords.txt More Chords.wave More Chords.txt ------Shots (Sub folder) A Chords Shots.wave A Chords Shots.txt More Chords.wave More Chords.txt -------Holds (Sub folder) A Chords Holds.wave A Chords Holds.txt More Chords.wave More Chords.txt

This gives an idea how RealTracks can work using the same guitar but recorded in many patterns/styles to allow change at any beat or bar. You don't need RealTracks with FX just direct Input and user can add any VST FX they like, they will just have a default VST FX. This will save a lot of hard drive space going into the future. Guitar-Acoustic-Nylon-Multi-Ev8-120.rar Use WinRar or www.7zip.org drag "Guitar, Acoustic, Nylon Multi Ev8 120" folder out into your x:bb\RealTracks\UserTracks folder. This gives Multi pattern of the same instrument, it's only basic and basic chords Maj minor dim Maj7 m7 7 m7b5 just to give an idea. Holds are made by selecting the start of the bar up to 4 bars long then it can be moved a bit earlier with "Edit Riff", it can also be used for a push by generating on the start of a bar them move and resize with "Edit Riff", a shot can be made by shortening the Holds quick. UserTracks won't generate where a Hold C... or Shot C.. is so if this is used for other track freeze them then remove the Hold/Shot to enable the generation of the UserTrack Hold to work (until an option is added to BB to allow UT to play through a Hold).

If only there could be support for a MIDI Control Surface, and then mixing with automated faders would be so easy for a task like this.

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."
