Hi, One workflow improvement that I would like to see added is the ability to (optionally) set a default preference that would force BIAB tracks to be panned to zero and also to have any reverb turned off when exporting them as WAV files - either individually or all tracks.
Whilst it is great to listen to them within BIAB with pan and reverb I prefer to take the tracks into my DAW in a 'clean' state and apply these effects within my DAW. Iit is easy to forget to turn them off manually before an export and i have more than once wasted time starting to create a DAW mix only to realise later and have to start over with the export again.
Also, unless I am missing an interface feature, it is quite fiddly to zeroise pan values manually and it takes a bit of sliding to and fro with the mouse. A quick double click to zeroise function would be great.
Many thanks, Aubrey
If I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor.
It takes two clicks but there's already an option to do that. Right-click on "Master" and then select "Set mix to flat, dry, center"

Thanks for the reminder Noel!
However, it would be better if they simply gave me an option during exporting my tracks to export them as flat/dry/center. Using the technique you explained, while helpful, changes the settings in the file which means it will then need to be changed back or saved as flat/dry/center. I'd rather keep my song with BIAB style defaults but export as flat/dry/center!
JohnJohnJohn, I'd like that option as well. I enjoy as well as learn from the panning/reverb in the style mix but the reverb particularly isn't very tweakable and often the level won't scroll up to 100 even so I have to type in the 100. Added to that is the frustration of realizing that, yet again, I've exported with level, panning & reverb as BIAB set them and have to do it again (with my computer it can take up to 10 minutes to export a wav).

It's there all right, only the volume of the exports, set to "normalize" on the "save tracks with options" usually is too low, so i mostly adjust them by hand in the mixer, some 20 (dB?) above the level of 90 set by this option ... F

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.

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."
