Just want to voice my support for French forumers... It is very sad what happened to Notre Dame. Very painful and shocking loss...for most of us. Stay strong.

I just found out about this on my lunch break and it's so upsetting. From what I read it sounds like they were doing renovations in the spire and think the fire is linked to the renos they were doing. I can't event imagine how Paris is feeling right now about the loss of the Cathedral. They're saying that by the time the fire is under control that there likely won't be anything left. It's a very sad day for France and the rest of the World.
Cheers, Ember

I feel badly not only for the French, but for the world. This was a piece of history, of civilization, of dedication, and of human accomplishments.
It will most likely be rebuilt, but it will never be the same.

So sad. This has been weighing on my mind these past two days. I worked for a French company for many years and have spent quite a bit of time in the country.
I have always been fascinated by the Gothic cathedrals of Notre Dame and, to the south, Chartres. The history of these two cathedrals from the invasion of the Vikings, to Napoleon through the WW II is amazing, not to mention the artifacts, the stain glass and the actual construction methods used.
Its interesting to read that the actual timbers that were lost in the fire composed some 13,000 oak tress that were over 300 years old at the time they were cut down. At the time, they cleared over 50 acres of oak trees...each one hand-hewn!
This fire is a great world heritage loss and one that personally saddens me.

Great damage is done, but I was somewhat relieved to see that most of facade / structure of this amazing gem of art & architectural history survived. With so much support coming in, I am sure France will start restoration process very soon.

Thanks all for your support.
Here, in France, we are were touched because Notre Dame is a highly esteemed heritage from the MIddle Age ans is beloved by every people. It was built in 1163 and now is 856 years old !!! Our President Macron said: we will rebuild Notre Dame.
Hope and Peace !
Reach for excellence

I was really affected when I heard of the news. It's always sad to hear when things like that happened to treasured heritage structures. I'm pretty thankful it didn't completely vanish at least.
Cheers, Deryk

In the days that followed it has been very interesting to see the conversations that have sprung up, all the big companies that have pledged money to reconstruction, and the time frame in which it will take to rebuild. All very interesting.
Cheers, Ember

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."
