I note that a good deal of the major DAW's have already released their respective updates for 2019.

Will there be any major changes to BB in 2019 or any revolutionary new features.

Exactly. Everything will be announced once it's released, and everyone who knows anything is sworn to secrecy until then. smile

My prediction is that there will probably be over 50 exciting new features in Band-in-a-Box® 2019!

I gathered as much.

I really should have joined in with the wishlist enthusiasts over the last months. I'm sure something will be there to get us all going.

I don't know anything, but I expect an arpeggiator-function, strings that can play advanced chords (not just triads), a lot more midi-supertracks - and of course new musicians on the RealTracks, so that we can get more variation on those tracks.

And no more of the useless video-tracks.

I can always hope...

Thanks for replies.

I tried the 64 bit request years ago. BB dismissed it as not necessary.

I know I would like better melodists, something more convincing than what we already have.

I also would love to see more Irish, Contemporary Folk, Celtic, Scottish ..... even a Uileann Pipe instrument.

thnx for the tip, Dennis Bolder is a nice guy, but to me this fiddle sounds a bit along the (pipe?)line of Scottish bagpipes, and there's no shuffles it seems. I ordered it BTW. Though Andy Leftwitch' stuff in the old RTs is still the best sounding and mixable fiddle (and mandolin) i heard sofar ...

Dennis Bolder has pipes too; his Uillean pipes sound good, but there's no regulators .... asked him about it last year, but he even did not know what they were LoL. On sale right now: Bolder Pipes

And this unique instrument too: Type Writers F

How about a declaration from PG Music that Black Friday will include all of December, with extraordinary deals beyond any regular ones?

We have not done any Black Friday specials in the past, and you won't see one this year either.

Historically there IS a special in December

The best fiddle/violin by the way would have to be Best Service Emotional Library or Chris Hein Solo Violin.

Very convincing.

Listened to it, classical, ain't no fiddle. As usual most of these classical players camouflage their inabilities to play a correct pitched tone by extensive vibrato wobbling, i hate that, and they have absolutely no sense of any rhythmic grooving, they never learned that properly; something coming from a jerking-jumpy bowing style not taught at their type of schooling ... Nope, gimme Andy Anytime ... smile

Thanks Fiddler for all the info.
I think Bolder was the only one I found called "Fiddle"

I love the Cajun and Irish fiddle, PG was suppose to being doing some Cajun RTs.

It's close to what you need, but the rhythmic shuffling 's not there. In februari i am teaching a 2 days Cajun fiddle workshop near Koblenz in Germany ... come down from down under. wink Boss there is French, he also hired a profi cook for studentical support, and has a nose for good wine too, probably NOT from down under ...
