maybe because my needs are simple but i haven't noticed a great deal of difference. i always update to get new RealTracks not for program improvments.
one wish i did have was that mixer subgroup moves could be recorded and automated. not sure if the 'click control' innovation does that as you can move multiple faders but will have to try

I like it, although not a lot of major new features for this go-round. I did get several of my suggestions implemented: the grid lines now have a darker color (it was originally white, which made it look like your audio wav form sat behind the grid lines, as if it were in prison); Jeff implement a fix to reduce the amount of white space at the top of the VST/VSTi window (now I'm hoping they can do the same thing in BIAB), and another new feature that escapes me right now.
There are still a few issues that need addressing. It doesn't always properly render VSTi audio to a track (or file on disk) properly, even though it plays it back correctly (that's probably my major gripe). And I wish they would bring it to 64-bit, like they did BIAB.
I have a lot of DAWs on my computer. They all have their place (some are gathering dust, though), but for simplicity and quickly generating content, RealBand does a fine job.

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."
