Uncle Paul. Re: COMPLICATED. that about sums it up accurately. frankly (haveing worked in crazy tech for a few years) i feel the tech industry has done a very poor job on the human to computer interraction. But there is hope. the reason the amazon fire tablet impresses me is its not only "fun" but very easy to use and affordeable. it boots very fast and i can get around the net very fast to get the info on a new recording product fast that i'm researching.
frankly i started this thread because i was VERY CONCERNED bout the struggles that people new to recording have. i STILL believe PG would get a lot of kudos with some , what i might call "set up vids" as i mentioned earlier. ie addressing common problems a new user comes across. as well as "what do all those audio/midi preference settings" mean in biab and rb ? just simple stuff like "what do those little boxes all mean that are in the audio settings dialog of bb" etc etc
yes i KNOW there are manuals/faq's. but how many people bother to read them ? hopefully people might watch vids. We had EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM TIME AFTER TIME IN INDUSTRY with loads of end users. we would create beautifull manuals that cost big bucks but only a few hard core users bothered to read them. its human nature eh ? but even with such vids provided, it is very difficult to deal with users who just refuse to learn even the basics of their computer. i ACTUALLY have known many many end users over the years who refuse in win to learn even the very basics of things. same on mac. if the user wont learn even the basics of MAC OS use and its features. there will be problems.
(dont get me wrong i think the new m1 macs are nice except i would like more ports )
in summary the uppermost question in my mind is how does tech industry deal with the above type of user ? how does tech industry make it easier for the above type of user to learn ?. who refuses to even learn the basics ? THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME CHALLENGE for tech industry.
its ok for people like simon or myself or lots of pg users on here that are tech savvy and can solve a tech issue.... but what about people who are not ? how does tech address that type of user and help them ? tis a QUANDARY. that i dont think is easily solved.

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."
