Hi

This seems like popular theme on Youtube

For BIAB:
  • The PG DX plugins doesn't show up
    Possibly hiding in an ini-file in the wrong folder.
    As there to my knowledge does not seem to be any tool or settings to influence this, it surely must be handled by the installation and it does not.

  • Songpicker sorting gone
    I know, a there is lot of comments already on this one.
    There is a number of new filtering options which I would say have marginal use. Why would you like to sort on a chord progression ...? It's more of a software engineer saying: hey we can do this too!
    Basically filtering is a variant of sorting. So, this should not be too difficult to fix as it's one of the first things you learn in programming. Guess it's a priority issue, fix what doesn't work and then fix the missing parts.
    Anyhow a basic reqirement when adding functionality is that you don't lose any existing functions.

cheers
Thomas

You make some good points. The style and song picker are very important in this program given the huge database which has been developed and which continues to grow. We need to continue to push for enhancements and improvements in this area.

Possible explanation to loss of PG DX plugins in the 64bit version:
are they only provided to be run in the 32 bit version and if so will they be upgraded ???

Have I missed any notification from PGmusic about this?

PG Music DX plugins are 32-bit and, as such, they are incompatible with BIAB 64-bit. They do, however, show up in BIAB 32-bit.

Hang in for the 64-bit version of the plugins. PG Music said we would get them.

I hope that they are VSTs and not DXs.


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.

Mario, it is my impression that they are the same as the 32-bit, so no.

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."
