Features I would love is :

A change to the chord window to easily put a fill or a series of fills to any measure within the chorus

Being able to easily repeat(loop) a series of measures
What I mean by this is say you have 16 measures that go three choruses
On chorus 1 I want the second 8 measures to repeat 4 times
Then on the second chorus I want the first 3 measures to repeat twice
Then on the third chorus I want the first 4 measures to repeat once

This would be so usefull for song writing!!!

Seamles integration with fl studio OMG what a toll that would become


A really good rock real track expansion pack that covers a whole variety of classic rock plus a lot more modern rock, punk, country rock blends

Could you define this more, please?

Are you saying you cannot Drag 'n Drop to FL Studio now?

Yeah when first got the program biab that is the support guy told me biab works more seamlessly with sonar, cubase, pro tools, and reaper but they didn't fully support flstudio like the other daws

The second part to that is that I believe that you can't use flstudios synths in biab

But you can use sonars ect....

I think you can drag and drop audio files into the play list

And you could probably import the midi in

But if had a problem... You might not get a good answer from their support.. Biabs that is

Unless you want to do this on the fly, this is easy to enter in BIAB. Just enter your song as one long chorus. You have 255 measures to work with. Very easy to do using the <edit-copy to> feature or cut and paste. Later, Ray

Yes but say a certain piece isn't flying for you the you have to dig through a lot of measures
Copy paste ect.. Where as I feel you could get a lot of controll to a piece using the way I envisioned it without the need to put in all those extra measures and get the same output... Hey it's a wish list doesn't mean they will implement it...

But wouldn't you like to only need to put in 16 or 32 measures ? I mean you could set up a 2 hour song that way with 16 measures not that you would ever do that but you get my drift

Check out the Conductor Window, that may have something you could use. Ray

from my understanding the conductor window is for live play in my idea when you exported the wave file from the song then you would get all the looped features. i think if you set it up in the conductor window then you wouldnt. that being said yes you could output the audio to a audio interface to a dat or something but i don't think that sound output would be as good.

Get the main gist done in BiaB.
Then go to Realband and cut/paste sections to your hearts content.
Regenerate whatever sections you want to, many more features you already have if you learn to use BiaB and RB together.

They may not be features of BiaB, but they are included in Realband, which comes with BiaB..


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
