Ah well, is this the place where wishes go to die ????
But I will try anyway, even just to get it ff my chest, (like a confession ...sort of)
I have been reworking my old songs a bit and have some frustrations ....
1. I have a folder for all by RB SEQ files. 2. I have a separate folder for all my BIAB SGU/MGU files 3. I have a folder for all my final rendered WAV files 4. I have another folder with my published MP3's
If I open any file RB remembers that folder and when I want to render my song it uses that as a default.
If I move the folder to the one where I want to send the WAV into then when I want to open the next SEQ file I have to navigate back to my SEQ folders again. I used to be involved in ergonomics in software development and we were "judged" by the amount of clicks you had to make to do your work, otherwise you get resistance from the end users!
Now for the wish.....
I would ideally like each [save to]/ [render to]/ [open] actions to have way to associate that with ITS own default folder.
Should not be too difficult to have some defaultfolders.ini that can be interrogated when you click a button?
This goes for BIAB as well!!!
I'm doing allright for Country Trash ....
I used to care, but things have changed (Bob Dylan)

+1 on the folders issue.
I have often "saved" a song I was working on, only to find that it got put into the ...\RB\ folder, instead of the folder I opened it from.
When you open a file from (anywhere), do some work on it, and hit the Save button, it doesn't save it to where you got it.

There are existing options that may help.
Under Options-Preferences-File tab
Pay close attention to the check box options. Tinker with the following check boxes (settings):
Long File Names use Custom Open/Save dialogue Open and Save dialogues remember last folder independently Bootup in Folder of last session Automatically reload file from last session
Different combinations may be the ticket. The first two seemed to be the most influential for this IIRC.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I've minimised the above issues by using song-name folders. I then save everything (BIAB and RB) relevant to a song within the song's own folder. I find that this makes locating all files very convenient for me.

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."
