Rob Helms. (merry xmas to you, eddie, and all pg users and staff.)
please allow me to clarify. cos maybe i didnt make myself clear possibly. my initial post in this thread must be read in conjunction with my post in the pg tech sos forum, in the daw benchmark thread i posted that included security feature ideas. so i will put everything together again in this new post.
ive had many discussions with fellow musicians other than myself over the years about software to assist them re identifying potential daw problems. many of them supported these ideas. let me explain please. THE IDEAS have 3 phases. 1. PHASE 1. in store pre-sales , a "simple" test. in case the computer has some problem or other. 2. PHASE 2. on boot up first time of biab or realband , a report as to possible max performance possibilities. eg max traks/max plug in instances/ max inputs at various sample rates. and identify potential sound device problems etc etc. basically an expansion of the RB action/test audio performance metric/ idea. 3. PHASE 3. in day to day use. an early warning system BEFORE a system becomes overloaded and crashes. as well as sandboxing certain problem plug ins. plus when a user loads a brand new plug in, possibly warning if a potential problem might arise with it . etc etc. (as i said before eg reaper, and other daws have started incorporating various reporting/security features.)
rob, let me explain further please. and youll see the background to my thinking.
in a previous life (lol) , i worked in industry with teams of techs on "big iron" computer acquisitions. sometimes that would cost an organisation many millions. the acquisition normally proceeded in several phases. 1. sending out our requirements to tech vendors. 2. analysis of vendor submissions. 3. selection of a shortlist. 4. in depth hands on testing of each vendors technology that made the shortlist. 5. selection of a successfull vendor. 6. installation of chosen vendors tech. 7. rigorous monitoring of chosen vendors tech, once installed. ie performance audits etc etc. i wont bore you with all the rest. suffice it to say, it was a rigorous controlled process.
now obviously i'm not suggesting the above in this situation. just some features to try and protect people new to this crazy song creation world. lol.
all i'm suggesting is a teeny small microcosm of standard tech acquisition procedures that occur in various industries every day. i also predict you will see more safety features built into apps and OS's. as time goes on, cos people are demanding fewer tech problems/optimum up times.
frankly i'm not going to bother posting any more in the wishlist forums. as it doesnt seem people are too interested in supporting the wishes ive posted. which has surprised me.
as there is no more i can say, i will not comment further.
once again. merry xmas. best. muso.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

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!

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."
