Besides making music, I also make plugins, and I hope it's ok I post here about my latest one, called "Claire", as I think it may be useful to some BIAB-musicians out there.
It's a plugin that adds some brightness to the tracks, or air, sparkle, glimmer, whatever the best term is, to make the sound be a bit more vivid.
I did a long demo-video of it, where I used both multi-tracks and some single-tracks to show-case how the plugin works and sounds, but for BIAB-users there are especially 2 examples which may be of interest:
The BIAB multi-track demo (Adding some 'bite' and brightness): This demo uses some tracks exported directly to wave-files from BIAB. No effects are added. They were just imported into the Reaper DAW as multi-tracks and then I added 1 "Claire" plugin to each track. I switch the fx-chain on and off several times so the difference can be clearly heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_fYuoC346g?t=5m35s
BIAB Cello single-track demo (Adding some dry air and crispness): This is a song I did where I used BIAB to create the Cello-track. So it's not the clean BIAB exported track here, but one where I have added reverb-effects and EQ and so on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_fYuoC346g?t=1m24s
These 2 examples are directly related to BIAB sounds, but there are many other examples in the full video which is free to share (I wrote most of the songs/music used, except for the Sinéad O'Connor remix and the BIAB generated songs)
Pretty cool. I heard the most benefit on the drums. Brought a life to them that often takes a couple plugins to accomplish.
On the cello I heard the difference but didn't like it. Seemed to be on the reverb too much for my taste. Would be nice if you narrated what you you were doing with it in the video.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Thank you
Yes, there is a lot of reverb on the Cello-track. I have a weak spot for reverbs I guess
I have had some difficulty getting drums to 'bite' properly in the past. Generally the top-end has been difficult to get to sound crisp enough (Or the way I prefer it to sound anyway ) with the 'bedroom-studio' equipment I use. I think I have come a lot closer to a better defined sound now
You may be right with the narrating thing. I obviously know how the plugin works and what it does, so I didn't really consider this when doing the video. Anyway, here's an image that shows how to operate the plugin:

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."
