I do, partly because the PC that I used originally (2013?) and still use for practice, is a small notepad PC. The old GUI just took up too much space on the screen (IIRC it's a 10" diagonal wide-screen).
Back then I gave up on BIAB as unusable for me. I tried customising the toolbars, but when new to BIAB and not knowing what one is doing, it can become very confusing.
The toolbars and so on on the new GUI are more compact and I can see enough bars to make BIAB usable on that PC. The newer GUI encouraged me to try again. It's still pretty clunky under the surface, but the main areas are OK.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful. AVL:MXE Linux; Windows 11 BIAB2025 Audiophile, a bunch of other software. Kawai MP6, Ui24R, Focusrite Saffire Pro40 and Scarletts .
I use the old GUI and wouldn't want to switch. It is much easier to access all the things I want to access without having to hunt for them, including the easy drag and drop of tracks to export.
PLUS, now that we need to see more mixer tracks, I run the mixer as a floating mixer alongside the old GUI interface, and I get a mixer window that runs from the top of the screen to the bottom (similar to the new GUI) without having to sacrifice any interface tools, and it actually looks better since the chord sheet is now smaller in width.
BIAB remembers the position of the mixer window when relaunching BIAB, so I have all of the old GUI showing and a full mixer on the side. It's like a new and improved version of the old GUI. It works really well and I hope it stays pretty much the same going forward.
My only beef is that Audio Chord Wizard keeps switching me to the new GUI and I have switch it back manually a couple times to complete the process.
It was shown to give solo buttons in RB as RB did not even have solo buttons then. It's been a long haul trying to get Biab RB into the modern age but as I have been saying the Biab Plugin/Standalone will take PG into the future when these are implemented: instant direct play/gen (faster than Biab), real time signatures, real tempo maps, 48khz 24bit audio, Win/Mac release at the same time and more.. hopefully in the current 2023 beta (please God) !!!!
Those that like nostalgia will still have the old Delphi Biab with the 6 months wait between Win/Mac releases. It used to be biannual release of BB RB 2011 and 2011.5
Also you will be able to instantly send a current Biab session project to the Biab Plugin/Standalone, having all the same track sections, style, chords with just one click.
