Can a style I create be saved with my VST choices? I'd like to create styles and save them so they open with my plugins in place.I see some of the new styles open with the sforzando plugin saved in the style. Also noticed when I save my style it doesn't save the realtracks with my custom style..

Well i found how to save my customized style on mac. It's done in the style picker.. bottom left save as... Now my next question is how can I see it in the style picker? I can open from disk but then if I change some things I want to save it's not represented in the style picker to save... Because the style pick don't see the style for some reason.. I did the slow rebuild but it just doesn't pick up my custom style.

Update... I finally had time to sit down and test a bit more.. In the mac version you can edit the style and then go back into the style picker and click the custom button the save style. It save the style and retains the realtracks but it does not save the plugin info. not even the built in sforzando. I see some of the new styles do open with sforzando as default instruments. I'm gonna post that to the beta test forum and hopefully get everything up to speed..

Thanks, I can duplicate that bug. It would be helpful if you could also post this again in the pre-release testing forum.

You can still load in user styles by using Command+U. This is just a standard file-open dialog.

No, this is currently only possible using the BIAB for Windows StylePicker.

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."
