MV.

you say bb is for the oldies...but....
show an alternative to bb..i dont see any.

as a tech as ive said in the past the only way to realise how remarkable bb is ..is take programming courses in C++..delpbi...etc etc and assembler and the win api's and also add in the complexities of digital audio and midi programming...this stuff is very complex even for excellent programmers.
now add in the complexities of a diverse muso user base all over the world with lots of different language versions...

and the above is just for starters.lol.
i know where your coming from but im just trying to give you a taste of life on the other side of the fence...the dev side.
i also understand your comments mv.for example in the early 2000s i was so frustrated with music software offerings i very nearly did my own daw...developed a whole spec...the whole schmeer. ...till i realised the huge complexities involved.

do i get frustrated with bb...yep...but i realise pg are in a no win situation with a diverse user base. some people want the old ways and some new exciting ways. its extremely difficult keeping all the user base happy.

please understand im no apologist...i just understand the many complexities daily for pg.

ive had younguns say to me.....oh ive heard bb is for elevator music till ive shown them a rocker....and they go WHAT ?
do i know bb like a talented charlie fogle.....nope...but ive been useing it for years and in the process evolved my own methods that make things a bit simpler for me.
for example ive been haveing a blast testing out 2024 seeing if i can get elvises vocal style and doing for fun viva las vegas.
i dont care the software the song is a huge challenge.
but within an hour in bb i had rough backing bed guide tracks for my voc tests done after putting the song title into the picker that recommended some styles....now im testing in the new yummy mpicker lots of rt's and instrumentation for the song.

in summary its all a question of developing ones own work methods.
is bb perfect ?...nope but i dont think it ever will be...like lots of software...but the lead guitarist turns up on time and doesnt try to snag the drummers girlfriend...lol..and i dont have to worry like in big studios my budgeted time running out or a channel going out on a mixer or 2 inch mtr.

i wish you a groovy year with lots of success n happiness
