Noticed Delphi ( object pascal with a visual GUI layout designer ) is still around - and apparently now supports macOS too

Does anyone know if BIAB ( which visually still looks a little dated ) is still being coded - maybe on the windows side.. inDelphi?

Is this why windows always comes out first and they can never release both platforms at the same time?

My understanding is yes. But that’s old knowledge from quite a few years ago.

Yes but most Windows users don't speak up or say anything about it at all, I think I'm the only one on the planet that did until now. I seem to be the only one that pushes for change, that uploads info how it can be done, info about getting the Plugin to generate instantly, Playable RealTracks, multi track editing, multi tab picker, section editing from source files, non jail windows, just go back years and years in the forum under musocity, pipeline and solidrock, so many accounts as I left so many times due to frustration and users not wanting change. It has taken a toll on me but at least there is change and modernization. Bringing about change is a hard thing when you are up against the old system, MDS (musocity derangement syndrome) bit like TDS you get disliked because people can't see the big picture.

I also push for change, however I do not have the knowledge that you have to suggest what code to use to get improvements.

I agree.

I found that BIAB can be used smoothly even without ASIO drivers in WINDOWS.

If it is other audio software, such as FL STUDIO, STUDIO ONE, CUABSE, it must be driven by ASIO to have no delay.

1: Delphi, which is part of Embarcadero's RAD studio suite, is continually developed, enhanced and updated and can build output for multiple operating systems, including MacOS and Windows. I think the latest RAD Studio is version 12.

2: I haven't investigated this for a while, but yes, this may be the case. Keep in mind that add-on layered products can be used to enhance the appearance, without relying on basic Windows forms and dialogs for the UI.

3: The build requirements between the two systems are unique, and I can only surmise that they finalize all of the new features in the Windows version before moving on to the MacOS version. I also understand that the Mac version release date is much earlier now than it used to be.

About the Mac version release date, that was getting earlier each year, but last year was delayed because of Apple’s changes.

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!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

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."
