I recently updated from version 11 and I'm generally pleased with the new features - especially the ones that make it easier to import and export individual tracks!
Some functions that used to work fine seem to have been a little messed up though:
1 Edit > Length of midi music (I used to use this all the time. Now I can only make the notes shorter...)
2 Track > Merge (Works only for audio tracks now. No luck with midi tracks.)
3 Endless Loop (behaves strangely, the music doesn't always jump to the looping section but start looping when it gets there)
Though I have tried RealBand (I already use Biab) and plan to use it more in the future, I'll stick to Powertracks as my main tool as I like the simplicity and larger screen estate. Thanks for not abandoning it! Here are some of my wishes for future versions:
1. Saving "snap" as default when starting PT.
2. Be able to keep Tracks window maximized while switching back and forth between windows. Now this only works when switching to/from bars and chords window. Not with the piano roll or notation windows (I'd love to be able to keep the piano roll maximized too, btw)
3. Scrolling Tracks window
4. Collapsible left area of the Tracks window
5. More midi editing/morphing features (e.g. reversing a section of notes, changing scale/mode, creating arpeggios)
6. Midi editing while playing and looping a section. Would be brilliant for quick experimenting with ideas and for "trial and error composing"
7. Envelopes for the audioeffects

The Track-Merge function has been noted, it also has changed in other ways regarding merging two mono tracks to a mono track.
Perhaps you could send a note to support (link at top of page) and let them know. It has been discussed here on the forum I know, but not sure how many reported to support.
Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I don't use Midi Track Merge very often but I tried it yesterday and it kept merging my two midi tracks as an audio track.
Add me to the list.

Well RB 2010 works the same way BUT 2010.5 RB merge has been fixed to merge 2 or more MIDI tracks into one MIDI track. The main engine for both programs are the same so it looks like Jeff needs to update PT as well.

I would agree that something is messed up. I can't create a merged audio file either. Just when everything else is working great. Help!

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.

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."
