It was a sad day when we lost the global solo button with the new GUI.
It was such a useful feature, I can't understand why it was left out and
it would be great to see it reintroduced sometime.

In the bar at the top of the column of tracks is such a thing. It solos all selected tracks, just like the old one.
It's not gone, just moved.

Hey thanks, Bob.

Basically I do everything from the Bars Window and the Mixer, so I never use the Tracks window,
and I was expecting the Solo button to be on the Toolbar, where it would be available to all the windows.
I suppose opening the Tracks Window is still quicker than cancelling the solo on multiple tracks, but
I still think it would be better on the Toolbar where it was before.

Anyway, many thanks.

ROG.

I can make a floating always on top button or menu with AutoHotKey
but I can't see the Solo in the Track menu or a hotkey so I have no way to access it with AutoHotKey.
I might be able to add a hotkey for the solo button but then you need to edit the Delphi form to add it crazy

Many thanks for the input - yes, I can see where you're going with this.

In the final analysis, I have a button on the toolbar for the tracks window
and then it's just one more click on the solo button and a click to close
the window again.

When I'm mixing, I tend to bring in each instrument in turn, using the solo
function. In a typical mix I might have 20+ tracks on solo, so three clicks
is still going to be much easier than de-selecting each track separately.

Thanks again,
ROG.

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."
