before upgrading to 2020, I could toggle between mixer in background or on top... Anyone else notice this?

Are you meaning the CTRL+SHFT+M toggle?

I'm presently test driving the pre-release of build 707 update. The above toggle is working for me.

The CTRL+SHFT+M toggle makes the Mixer appear on top (foreground) or disappear.

Before upgrading to BiaB 2020, I could see both Main-screen and Mixer... one on top of the other as long as Main-screen was floating.

I could bring the main screen to the foreground just by clicking on any part of it that was visible, thus sending the mixer to the background, but stlll peaking out from behind. I could then bring the mixer back on top by clicking the part that was visible from behind... Now the mixer is either on top or gone.

Do you mean when you CTRL+SHIFT+M and bring mixer to foreground then close it or CTRL+SHIFT+M again that the mixer doesn't "dock" in the upper right hand part of BIAB main screen?

No, I'm saying I can no longer have both onscreen unless the Mixer is on top.

I just started a 2019 version and the mixer stays on top of the main form. In fact I've never been able to put the mixer behind the main form except when in DAW mode. Perhaps you could check that option:

Excellent. As a suggestion, you could edit your post and mark it as resolved.
(Also, perhaps change the year in the subject line, I think that feature didn't exist at all a century ago grin)

I misunderstood the issue but glad you got it working.

I'm not use to doing that since I use multiple monitors, no I'm not being a braggart (but I have been called an alpha hotel, a lot grin ) so I move un-docked windows/views to another monitor.

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.

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."
