A Build 5 Update is available for PowerTracks Pro Audio Version 2024 Download the build 5 update Release Notes [Build 5] (April 12, 2024) - Fixed: Default measure offset setting wasn't visible in the General Preferences dialog.

- Fixed: Frozen utility tracks were not loading into PT when loading in an MGU/SGU
- Fixed: if a song had key sig changes, then the key sig change could overwrite notes on the Lead Sheet or in printout or print preview.
- Fixed: key sig changes could show up when there is drum notation
- Fixed: The Send Realtime Messages setting in Preferences - MIDI - MIDI Out wasn't being saved when exiting PowerTracks.
- Fixed: In the Print Preview window, the width/height that you select for the saved image(s) was affecting the display within the preview window itself
- Fixed: "Print to PDF" now defaults to Microsoft Print to PDF driver, which fixes certain issues such as the title area sometimes not displaying the correct fonts.
- Fixed: When saving a range of Print Preview images to disk, PowerTracks will now let you choose the target folder.
- Fixed: In the Print Preview window, Saving to PNG or TIF format wasn't working
- Fixed: access violation when loading in an SGU
- Fixed: When loading in an MGU/SGU that had regular audio (non-RT audio) on Utility Track(s) PowerTracks wasn't loading in the .WAV files.

- Fixed: When using the Edit - MIDI - Split MIDI Drums command, an access violation would occur
- Fixed: When using the "R" hotkey in editable notation to insert a rest, the rest might be inserted on the wrong clef.
- Fixed: Left-Clicking on the number field in the mixer to select a track would cause the pop-up menu to pop-up.
- Fixed: Undo for generation of RealDrums did not work
- Fixed: when using the right-click "Copy/Move highlighted area of current track to another track" command, and there was already data on that area of destination track, the dialog that gives you a choice of overwriting/merging/canceling had blank text.
- Fixed: A warning message, and an option to not load in a BB file (e.g. MGU or SGU), if PT determines it might not actually be a BB file.
- Fixed: Notation Window - Right Click -Vocal Synth...(auto) was not working correctly
Release Notes [Build 3] (Jan 4, 2024) - FIXED - When UseElastique is unchecked and time stretching or pitch shifting was enabled, the audio was severely distorted
- FIXED - a few additional language strings added to the resource file
- FIXED - Expired program error.

Nice little rocker you've made. With a lot of lyrics I can learn from. "empty shotgun seat", "feet of clay" ... phrases I've never heard before, and that I never would have thought were proper english. The driving 'on the run' feeling makes the song so compelling to me, I love this mood. The drums seem to lack a bit of high-end (and my Yamaha monitors are already quite bright), but I assume that's intentional on your part. Anyway, I enjoyed the listen, that's what counts Thanks, Brian. Both of those expressions are quite common. I do sometimes EQ the high end out of the BIAB drums to tame the cymbals, but this one I did not. (I do like a "darker" drum sound) So cool that you're using BiaB for such explorations, floyd. There are a lot of very unusual styles in the program, and there are some really good uses demonstrated on this forum that I never would have imagined. Man, you are such a talented fellow. Great production and the band is well-planned, and worked perfectly mixing the Bros with the Brits. The feel drives the group in a wonderful musical direction, and your excellent vocal is at the wheel. Thanks, Marty. Just having fun, ya know.... Loved the groove, the band, the vocal, and the mix. PS - I have had both fun and trouble wandering around the realm of BiaB. Thanks, Mario...

Misha, Production/Arrangement Chops on Display. There are a number of good producers on these forums...you are in a class by yourself. Stunning Percussion. Stunning Synth work. Is the opening piano an EZKeys pattern? It has a cool Carole King quality to it... Nice use of the Tin Whistle. This is Great Listening. High Quality Production. fj

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
