It seems there is a strong demand for some trippy dub step, new pop
sound etc , loop type of sections.... Mario D. once said something like: the future of music is fusion of genres. (I agree with that statement) You have quite a few of these modern sounding loops (I bought them all) The biggest problem I found, and this is from my own experience - a very non-intuitive navigation through these. Meaning, there is a huge block of content that you have to sit and sift / listen through one by one, because there is no proper sorting available. I have not even auditioned half of the stuff I have for that reason alone. Please consider integrating loops into the main picker (tab or similar) with sorting of genres, tempo and instr. such as Drums, Bass, Synth, FX, etc. I just feel it is a waste of valuable resources and content that just gets lost. I am sure, if it is intuitively accessed / sorted, loops will be a popular item among those who want more modern sound to spice their arrangements. And of course loops are significantly easier to produce than full blown RT's played on electric/acoustic instruments...
I am not talking about re-inventing a wheel, just organizing and optimizing what you already have.
P.S. Also, if the "loop" engine is cleaned and polished and would properly accept third party loops (such as BigFish) without hiccups, "out of the box", folks could use these within BIAB environment, without waiting for genre-specific yearly items. I have tried using a couple of different types of commercial loops (Big Fish) within BIAB loop menu, but found it not stable or very usable because of various issues, such as not syncing correctly for example. Bottom line, the process of using BIAB loops and third party loops has to be streamlined. I just think not enough love is given to that part of BIAB.

Yes, please make available a streamlined way of auditioning loops to see if they can augment a style---even traditional styles like bossas and swing. Or, better, how about creating demos of various loops with real styles---or, offering new batches of styles where loops are present “factory-made”? As is, I rarely use loops because of the laborious task of trying to find something that works.

There in no F5 change loop at bar #
There is A part B part Loop choice but no Ending
So if you could drag n drop Loops out of the Loop Picker into the Audio Editor Tracks or to make it easy to program just have a button to insert Loop @ bar # for x bars and they would automatically adjust tempo and pitch with a local dB +- adjust, you would also be able to Play/Preview from bar x in situ to hear if it fits in with the other BB Tracks.
This will save the Loop data when track is frozen.

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."
