I do tons and tons of Volume Automation in BiaB, pretty much in every four bars, I would turn on/off/hold an instrument, in order to make the song built up in a sophisticated manner. However, currently in the Audio Edit (Waveform) window, you can only view/edit one track at a time. If you want to view/edit a different track, you have to click the mixer channel to switch.
Currently I work with BiaB on two monitors. The left screen is the main BiaB interface with chord sheet and mixer. On the right screen, I opened a floating Audio Edit (Waveform) window, to do the volume automation, but I can only see one track at a time, and work with one track at a time.
Would be holy smoke, if I could see/zoom/edit several tracks in the Audio Edit window at the same time, just like working in a DAW.

You can edit multiple audio tracks in parallel with RealBand, but ultimately, of course, your desire boils down to combining all functions of Band in a Box and RealBand into one program. However, this does not make the often criticized confusion and complexity of the program any easier.

why not just moving the bb tracks to the DAW "as is" and doing all the FX, automation and mixing there. That's what I try to do. That looks a lot more comfortable and less of a hustle to me.

+1 for having multiple tracks simultaneously displayed and available for editing in the Audio Editor window.

Alternately, have you tried using the track select pull down menu available in the Audio Editor window? Using the track select pull down menu you can switch track views without losing cursor position or having to leave the Audio Editor window.

Short history lesson. PowerTracks was created by an independent developer and distributed by PG Music. The core of PowerTracks was used to create RealBand. RealBand does not support all the features available in a song file created in BiaB. Why move a song file from BiaB to RB if all the stuff in the song file doesn't translate?

The longer you stay in Band-in-a-Box the more you can utilize it's resources. The instant you render and create a scalar track to move out of Band-in-a-Box you lose ALL the unique resources the program offers. If you want to change anything you can always go back but that's starting over and losing all your preceding work.
