Website Modernization Update, I hope there is one to go with the new BB18, get away from the bright white background, have dark background with light text, something easier on the eyes.
I hope not. I like it the way it is. Why would I want a PG website flicking from advert to advert when what I WANT is to read what is on the PG WEBSITE. Just because its trendy doesn't make it good.

One consideration is printer ink. The current design requires very little ink to print. Another consideration is page loading time. Yet another is readability on a phone with adaptive design. And finally, I care about content way more than appearance.
Why are there two threads on this?

I'm not suggesting it to cater for older users only stuck in the past, it is purely to get the software out there on a higher level to a new generation of users and a younger audience as well (including Mario, he's all for new & change).
You can view it on an old CRT Monochrome monitor with a Hercules Graphics Card, you will get just the green phosphor on the black background.

Thanx for putting this old phart in with the younger audience!
I believe that packaging plays a very important part for many customers. I think that a lot of people are turned off my some packaging. Not just here but for any product that is available for John Q Public.
I'm all for anything that will expand PGMusic's customer base. Things like 64 bit, open all MIDI channels for MIDI and RTs and RDs and any combination, rewrite the menus, better packaging, etc, I think will do the trick.
Ps - I should have added more contemporary styles (both real styles and MIDI, RDs and RDs.
YMMV
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
The web site (as well as the forum) interface also needs work in terms of display on smart phones and tablets. I spend a lot of time zooming in and out just to get to the content.

Sure, PG's website (forums especially) is kinda quirky, but unique, and I find that I've gotten used to its quirkiness. So why bother changing the regular website. Now for mobiles and tablets, that's a separate issue that can be handled separately, way I see it.
Good video, but why did the new crappy designed product take over sales? Marketing and packaging! If the old better designed product used the same marketing and packaging then it would still be the number one product.
What this proves IMHO is that John Q Public goes more for marketing and packaging and not what is the superior product. YMMV

I remember Quicken used to let you buy a box (marketing and packaging) that had a CD in it. You would put the CD in, and then it would take you to the Quicken web site, where you could download the software.
That was for those who didn't want to just download the software, but wanted a "boxed" version.
LOL.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
