One of the recurrent problems many of us face when using BIAB is a decent sounding ending. The 2-bar jobbie just ain't cutting it -- it almost always sounds too abrupt, even when the instruments aren't cut off, which they often are.
There might be a simple solution, though -- make the endings 4-bar.
They don't even necessarily have to be changed. The only important aspect is making sure that they have enough time to properly decay and fade out. Or, if you've got a "shot"-style ending, give it an extra few beats for the instruments to hold before the shot. We don't have to have the entire four bars filled with noise -- in fact, giving them room to "breathe" is kinda the point.
It would also be nice to have a little more variety in the endings, or at least to have holds and shots work properly for them.

Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.

Would it be feasable to make the endings like a substyle to you can choose from two or three per style?
And to go along with that why nont make intros that way as well. Any main style could have two to 4 intros and endings to choose from.

That's what a lot of the good arranger keyboards do, allowing user selection from two, three or four different possible endings in a single button push.
Good idea.

Agree 100%. The new fade out endings are nice though but more variety would be good.

Agreed. Trying to make a decent ending seems to take longer than anything else I do in Biab.
The harder I work the luckier I get.
