I just started using band in a box in 2021.
I prefer to often use BB VST in Daw to help me complete songs.

In practical use, I have several functions I want:
1. Add more tracks(10 or 12) to the style page, which will be more convenient

2. I think several functions can be added to allow you to choose to output intro, verse, chorus and interconnect. In fact, it is the output of four senses, which will help to complete the song production in Daw faster. As for how to arrange, it depends on the producer's own feelings

I drew a picture

Some DAWs such as Cubase and Cakewalk by Bandlab have a feature that allows the user to divide a song project into labeled columns. The columns can then be duplicated, moved, deleted as desired.

In Cakewalk this is called an Arrangement track. I've provided a screen shot so you can see what I mean. There are three parts. The part above the tracks is where you designate the start and stop points for each arrangement section. Top left you provide arrangement section names and colors. Bottom left you arrange the sections as you desire.

It is a very powerful tool. Perhaps PG Music will consider an Arrangement Track for the main program. I don't think it would be as useful in the PlugIn since DAWs are adding the feature to their product.

Bian is already perfect.
If BB VST adds this function, the production will be very smooth.
In fact, it automatically generates some melodies and rhythms that are more in line with different paragraphs. It's easy to output and drag it out for use. I still hope BB VST has this function.
Because BB VST will attract a large number of new friends to join. BIAB is difficult to attract people in terms of interface and complexity. However, BIAB also has advantages. I think BIAB is suitable for some friends who practice playing.
BB VST is more suitable for making songs quickly.
I want to pay attention to this function. Anyway, it's a good thing + 1

In these Daws, these are just text marks, or better management. Not realtracks.
What I need is BB VST to export the audio of different paragraphs, which can be used for each paragraph of the song immediately.
This can save a lot of time.
I believe BIAB's intelligence can be achieved completely. It only needs simple setup and export. Add these paragraph export functions.

Just be able to distinguish paragraphs. I haven't asked so much.
I just need to export different wavs grin

How did you do it? You're a genius grin

What I need is to be in a chord. For example: C F G C
Now click generate, and only one wav can be generated for each track. If you click again, it will regenerate into a group of wavs.
But each group of wavs is similar. So how can we make each generation different?
Tell the software that the track I generated this time is for intro use
If verse is selected in track setting when generating, the song generated is suitable for verse.
If you select chorus, the generated paragraphs are more suitable as chorus paragraphs.
The drum, bass, guitar, piano and other musical instruments will be generated according to different choices.
I've drawn a picture, that's what I mean.



----------------


Then there is a problem with the pictures you demonstrate, that is, you didn't check lead in and ending, so the wav you generated in this way is incomplete at the beginning and incomplete at the end, so it can't be used. Because the wav generated by band in a box will not be so aligned.

There is a BUG in the current version, Generate Selected Region should generate just those bars if "Pad" is not enabled, same as Multiriff Selected Region.

A RealTrack has the same playing style all through or it has an A and B part style playing.

Yes, there are a lot of bugs in this version. We have posted a lot of posts for this.
I've found some new ways now.
For example, use ezkey, ezbass and ezdrum
Only guide part, use band in a box VST
I'm trying to avoid some bugs and restrictions

The most important thing is that ezkey, ezbass and ezdrummer all have paragraph differentiation, intro and verse chorus

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."
