A study suggests that people over the age of 30 tend not to seek out new music

Interesting concept! I'm nearing 30 myself and I find that I'm constantly looking for new music personally. In fact, I use things like Spotify to hopefully find me some good suggestions because I know there's lots of great music out there I haven't heard yet. Altho that may have been true for previous generations, I think that the way that we as a society now have access to music with all these online streaming services is going to change how we access and interact with music as we age. Who knows what'll happen in another 20 years.


Cheers,
Ember

Wow what a bunch of BS. Thirty is when many people have taken the courage to begin to explore different varieties of music. There is Downbeat Magazine for example that can introduce artist's. There is "Great Courses Plus" which has many lectures on psychology of music, classical, jazz, additive and subtractive synthesis even. As well as math and philosophical courses. There are also music guides which list musicians galore that existed during decades. Different decades offer different communication and explore different lesson plans in terms of the music created. Questia library has a lot of books on music. So there are discussions out there. Sure insane people are still listening to old music over and over but the vast majority of people change their perspectives over the decades. I did a rap course and learned all sorts of teaching methods were being introduced by rapping.

So this idea that people are fixed and conservative is just ignorant. Maybe they talked to people that still use a land line instead of a cell phone home phone.

Well I think it depends. First of all exclude musicians - we're not normal in that respect (thankfully).

I think most people quit searching for new music when they have children of their own. Some will hang on to Top40 after childbirth in an effort to hang on to their youth, but most people by their second child want to hear the music of their youth, or new music by their favorite artists as long as it doesn't change from their previous format much.

Of course there are exceptions.

This from the standpoint of a pro musician who watches the audience and plays songs according to what they react positively to.

Insights and incites by Notes

PS Now being a musician, I'm not about to go stagnant. I seek out world music, and continue to discover new symphonic music both from the old masters and the new people keeping that art form alive.

I think as I get older, my tastes for new music get less 'normal' and either more exotic or complex.

Check this out if you have the time. It combines middle-eastern melodies with Soviet era symphonic composition styles and it currently on my playlist.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

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.

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."
