Give utility tracks a spot on bar settings for volume changes.
Thanks, Kyle That may happen on some future release because it's a recurring request but just so you'll know, there's at least 3 different ways to do volume changes on Utility Tracks now. All 3 methods also work on the original 8 Legacy Mixer Channels that have the Bar Settings options the same as they do on the Utility Tracks. These volume change methods offer more precise selections and can be applied to only a region of a bar rather than the whole bar resolution found in Bar Settings.

Yes, as mentioned, a recurring request.
For overall consistency, I'm hoping it will be introduced.

If overall consistency is the goal, that goal has been achieved with the introduction of Utility Tracks and the Audio Edit methods to change volume.
a) The new All Tracks are Equal feature applies because the Audio Edit volume change methods work the same for all 24 tracks and are accessible to all 24 tracks.
b) The commands, techniques and results are the same for all 24 tracks.
c) Visual and audio response is the same for all 24 tracks.
Bar settings are only available for the original Legacy Tracks.

Hi Charlie.
What I meant was that one can do some things via the Bar Settings dialog and other things need to be performed using different methods, such as using the Audio Edit window. That means there is not a consistent method to achieve the same result. Hope this clarifies my point on how I referenced the term 'consistency'.

< " ...there is not a consistent method to achieve the same result." >
I agree. Also, with the total of processes that can be done from the Bar Settings menu coupled with the recurring request to add volume changes from Bar Settings for all 24 tracks, I would not be surprised to see that feature added.
In regard to volume changes specifically, I would hope the OP will transition from Bar Settings to the Audio Edit Window for that task and reap the benefits of the higher precision, greater accuracy in selecting regions to edit and the quick access to other features available from within the Audio Edit Window.
Thanks for explaining your point.
Charlie

There had been a good push made toward bringing Utility tracks closer to Legacy tracks. Since this is a very popular request, hopefully we will see integration of all tracks to "Bar Settings".
That is true:
"In regard to volume changes specifically, I would hope the OP will transition from Bar Settings to the Audio Edit Window for that task and reap the benefits of the higher precision"
I find myself using ACW quite often for volume changes with nodes. It still needs a few navigation items, and minor issues fixed, but it works well.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
