Well, we haven't had one of these discussions in a few months, so I guess it is time again.

One can learn to be extremely productive in BIAB, but I sometimes wonder if it is despite the interface. I believe it has been demonstrated that none of the users, however experienced, know the whole program. After twenty years, I certainly do not. It has also been my practice to spend time every so often just looking at each menu option, where I invariably discover something I had no clue was there (especially with those "More" buttons from feature creep).

Yes, the user interface could be improved. It could have its look modernized, and the menu system with all the sub-sub-menu dialogs could be reorganized. John's suggestion, that the look of a Play mode could be different from that of an Edit mode, is good too.

However, what do I want PG Music to do? Improve those things, or continue to innovate and deliver product features? I will accept the interface as it is, if it means we get even more fabulous music tools. It just means this Forum will continue to get more comments and questions, but that seems to be an effective education tool.
