I am playing around with 2010 which came yesterday..and I am really enjoying the new features.
I would really like to be able to freeze part of a track.
Eg I might like the way a bass plays the first 4 bars, and want to keep that, whilst regenerating the last 8 bars..
It would be great in a future version if I could highlight the bars I want, then freeze that part of the track, then regenerate what I want changed, then freeze more bars, then regenerate et al.
ATM i do this by generating a few tracks, exporting them as audio, putting them in sonar and then editing up what I want...so I can get there...
just a feature request.
cheers
Wiz

This was the NUMBER ONE thing I wished for when I first got started with BIAB.
And it is still the No. 1 feature I deeply long for.
It would make it so much easier to bang together a "perfect" version of the song in BIAB before dragging the audio into our DAWs for further development.
Also I would like the ability to ONLY generate new material for selected bars so that we can improve the performance or even alter the chords of a certain section without losing other parts of the performance that we have locked in (i.e. frozen) for other parts of the song.

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.

It is the ONLY feature I want in BIAB. I've given up on MultiRiff as it is currently "implemented". I've given up on the VST. I've given up on a modern GUI. I've given up on UserTracks.
I have found my workflow and I love BIAB. But a working freeze/regen bar by bar feature would help my workflow enormously!

Newbie here. I have just started working with Mac2020 version, and the first thing I noticed was a rhythm guitar would change feel from bar to bar. Some bars would sound bang on with the feel but others a little too rigid. I have tried adding the anticipation ^ before the chord but I don't think you can just do this for a single part (it affects all the instruments)? I agree, if you could freeze those bars that you like the arrangement that would be cool.

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!
Today I have to generate the same track 4 -8 times, and drag it into my DAW and then "splice" the tracks into one track and constantly trying to make it sound natural

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."
