I'm not young either. I'm 40 years old. The first time I saw band in a box was many, many years ago. It must have been more than 10 years. The interface drove me away and I really won't use it. Recently, with your help, I have a new understanding of band in a box, which is an undervalued software. We all know the excellence of this software. I won't repeat it. Let me make some comments. First: whether the interface can be concise, refreshing and more modern. Second: can the music inside be more modern and more popular? Now these are also very good. Stick to it. But I want to be more popular. I can hear more popular content by entering chords. Suitable for current music. In fact, I found that the idea of band in a box is very good. Input chords, select style and generate music. This idea has been determined since the day it began. It has been decades. Now your staff just need to be a little serious, make the current pop songs into style and make the interface more modern, can't they attract more young people? I saw a lot of people over the age of 70 using band in a box on youtube, which moved me and I like it very much, including me, who is also a middle-aged person. But I prefer to see more and more young people use band in a box and let them know about band in a box I used to buy a lot of music software, such as drums, pianos and guitars. Then they work together. I'm too tired. I don't have the energy to study the lyrics, let alone sing. I like band in a box, which is simple, fast and convenient! Now you have everything. You just need to add more popular styles and make the interface more modern to be more perfect. Of course, I like band in a box now. I also like country, jazz and ballads. I like all the good music, but I also find that some of the hottest and most popular content is missing. The biggest reason why I send this post is not that band in a box is bad, but that I think band in a box can be better, but I don't know what is preventing you from doing these things and never changing. Now I go out to see people and say that band in a box is underestimated. I expect you to be better and better!
------------ My article is not important anymore. Because what I want to express is here, the discussion here is better. This is what I mean, I just saw it too +++++Here+++++
I don't know which Band-in-a-Box package you purchased. All four packages include the same Band-in-a-Box program and Plugins. The Window packages also include RealBand. The Audiophile and UltraPAK include all the package content. The MegaPAK includes about 1/3 the available package content and the ProPAK includes about 1/10th the available package content.
PG Music has modern styles. They are called XtraStyles, XProStyles and Styles with Loops. These style packages require additional purchases. The ONLY style package that works with the ProPAK is the XProStyles. All other style packages require you to have either the UltraPAK or Audiophile.
Listen to the demonstration (demo) files +++ HERE +++
The variety of sounds and possibilities is mind-boggling. The audio is one thing, but the midi possibilities it opens up are enormous.
I simply do not have enough time in my day to go through all the new gorgeous guitars, pianos, keys, strings, vocals, drums, beats, loops, anything you want. It's jaw-dropping.
People who say you can't do modern with BIAB, I just have no idea what they are talking about.
Sorry.

Maybe you hope band in a box can develop more modern music. Of course, I like it now. The more styles, the better I just listened to your song. It's great 《Freeway》 《I Will Stand By You》 Are all music accompaniments made with band in a box?
.. First: whether the interface can be concise, refreshing and more modern. Second: can the music inside be more modern and more popular? Now these are also very good. Stick to it.

It has been very hard getting improvements to the interface as there are many long time users that don't like change. I think the future is the BiabVST, once it gets away from the background application BBW4 (Biab running silently in the background) it will be very fast in development without the limitations of Biab holding it back and slowing it down.
Yes more modern RT/Styles to attract new younger users to keep Biab going into the future. A lot of modern stuff is just using the same loop all through.
I now use band in a box in studio one every day. Use more than 8 hours a day. Before going to bed yesterday, I suddenly asked myself why I didn't make music in BIAB. I think maybe because BIAB is still different from Daw in the real sense? Of course, that's not the point. The focus is on a more modern style It would be better if we could strengthen some chord functions. For this reason, I drew a picture
Did you do this? That's great. It turned on the right mouse button. I don't know how to use it yet. I don't know if there is a drag and drop function. Are there any instructional videos?

Even if that were true, which I dispute, what would it matter? Can’t PG Music continue to improve as it sees fit?
Do you have evidence for your statement? For example, a poll on whether the long-time users like or do not like the GUI changes of 2018? I know I switched almost immediately to the new one. I also know several of the longest users have continued to advocate for changes, including in ways that the general public would not see. I don’t understand why anyone would try to divide the user base.

thanks. But I don't want to toss about it anymore. Because based on my study these days, I have basically mastered BAND IN A BOX. I will use the input method for now.
According to the current situation of BAND IN A BOX, I just want to make some simple songs. Basically enough.
I took a look and everyone felt the same as me. I searched a lot of content on youtube, including many BAND IN A BOX users in Facebook, who are basically elderly people.
Even so, I still think that BAND IN A BOX is underestimated. It's not that we underestimated, but they underestimated themselves. For decades, I have been in the tradition, and I haven't seen any progress.
Look at what Apple looked like in the 90s.
Look at Apple in 2021. I understand.
However, I will always use BAND IN A BOX and only make some simple works for the time being.
If you don’t change or keep up with the times, you can easily be eliminated. I found that many people who use BAND IN A BOX are middle-aged and elderly people. Maybe this is the positioning of BAND IN A BOX, right?
It has been very hard getting improvements to the interface as there are many long time users that don't like change. I think the future is the BiabVST, ...
as in leave Biab to develop how it does but let the BiabVST develop at lighting speed and be up there with or ahead of other VST's on the market, no limiting factors like running a Biab app in the background that's held to it's long time limitations from the 90's. It does not need BBW4 as it only uses a few functions of the million and 1 functions in Biab, these can be moved into the VST, then stand back and watch it's popularity grow. Though as what I and others said in the beginning to give it a unique name and get away from the name "Band in a Box" that can remind them of complexities and steep learning curve. "Studio Tracks Pro" "Session Tracks Pro" "Instant Track Pro"....

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.
