Matt, "or your request, I would still think that the bar should be visible at first, so beginners know it's available. Then if they want to hide this or anything else, it's on them to remember it is available." I actually view it as compete opposite. People get confused at start... I am still considering myself a beginner. For me, it is a slow integration process. Most likely I will never use more than 50%-60% of functions/features BIAB has to offer, but I will tell you this: If, when I started using BIAB it opened in "Minimalistic" screen, with most of the items not suitable for beginner hidden, learning curve would be much smoother. How about a menu on first installation with choices for default: "Beginner" - "Advanced" - "Legacy" (Big button) interfaces? I mentioned this in the past, perhaps a good idea to have initial splash screen with offer to view a "basic" video tutorial on song making (see my request "I want a video that shows me") One straight forward video, perhaps broken (within video) to 3-5 chapters, no bits and pieces from various years. One small project-one narrator. Which would start specifically by introducing basics of interface! -------- Peter, thank you for responding. I understand the benefits that bar has to offer and this is only suggestion to have ability to hide/unhide it. Going forward, when Utility Tracks will gain more RT/RD properties the upper bar will probably get less relevant, especially to those who will discover BIAB for the first time. Most likely, with more mixer tracks used, control emphasis would fall more onto the mixer and not the top bar. While typing this, I looked and realized that It might be possible to add whole bunch of Util tracks to that upper bar if named in Tr1, Tr2 etc. Shorter names should give enough room for all. There is a place in menu to change naming to legacy tracks already, so I think it could work both ways. Sorry, I had to write it, otherwise I might forget. I do think "Minimalistic view" has solid front end design for years to come, but that screen is also the first thing that people see... These two request are minor perks to make it more visually appealing. ------- VideoTrack, Sorry, I am not a programmer, not sure if it is possible or not. But I was thinking about generation progress, as we have play navigator already. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry too much "off topic" here, I should probably request a new forum section of BIAB interface wishlist

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.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
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."
