my perspective. haveing worked in IT for more than a few years , and darn glad to be out of it, my perspective is , IT is a mess. particularly at the end user level.
lots of employer orgs get high turnover because they try and hire teks "on the cheap ", because snr mgt/ceo's wanna make their yearly millions, and pay teks as little as possible. a lot of orgs are like this. ie trickle down economics.
so, often, the budget of the IT dept is starved, so they cant hire the right people or buy the right tech, cos word gets around among teks the bad employers to stay away from. seen it many times, haveing worked all over the world.
probably one of the worst IT jobs to have is network mgt. ie the network goes down , and all sorts of insane preassure is put on the network teks by end users to bring it up fast. or the other situation is where all the teks know a new system will take 3 yrs to develope, and the ceo (with no tek experience) says "your all fired if you cant do it in 6 months", and then wonders why the teks leave, and cant be replaced easily. anyone who has worked in tek knows all the horror stories i speak of. my doc told me my health improved hugely once i "got out of the mad career". lol.
frankly i have no allegiance to any platform. all platforms have pros/cons. if next week 60 buk raspberry pi went to 6 ghz and ran reaps and logicx and biab flawlessly, i would be all over it. same if apple brought out a hyper fast system running the above apps that fit within my few hundred buks budget.
but, until then i have no choice but to buy cheap refurb systems. yes i could afford to buy a high end system costing a couple of grand but refuse to do so , due to ongoing obsolescence factors/concerns.
frankly i feel for teks dealing with new OS versions on any platform in any industry. been there , done that in various industries. these are good nice people at pg from what ive seen probably doing their very best to keep us users happy.
i'm still hoping frankly that apple snr mgt see the huge market they are missing by focusing more on high end systems. big sur and the new silicon look great in concept.
frankly one tek device that gets my "tek award" currently is the cheap under 100 buk amazon fire tablet. i love the thing for researching new gear and surfing the net etc. WHAT PEOPLE WANT IS AFFORDEABLE TEK LIKE THIS. imho. very clever of amazon imho. my other award is to the audient evo i just got and testing out. its doing a great job for me so far. but time will tell. note, havent tried it , but runs on ios apparently.
best. muso.

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.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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."
