Seasons Greetings!
Now that BIAB 2009 is out, I would first like to thank Peter and Company for a great product and some great new features.......
What I´d like to know is what YOU would like to see in next years update.
I know this should be in the wishlist thread, however this topic always seems to end up here, so I thought I would post here as well. Here are my suggestions:
1. 960 PPQ
2. Support for multiple VSTs, Rewire, Music XML
3. Upgrades to the GUI and Notation (maybe more like Garageband, etc)
4. RT & RD volumes: Funk Keyboards, Brass sections (Chicago, EW&F, etc) Vocals (oohhs, ahhhs, etc) French Horns and Strings (for pop Ballads)
5. RT Soloists: Be-Bop, Funky Keys, horns, Bossa Guitar.
And last but not least, 2 icons on the desktop taking you for live help to either Andrew at PG music or Mac (no, not the apple Mac, OUR Mac)
Merry Christmas to all, as Peter says ¨Have Fun¨!
Ed

Is there any truth to the rumor that while Our Mac was in the hospital them may have stolen a few cells and be working on cloning a few copies of him for us?

Why do you think the Audio Chord Wizard works better?  On topic, I renew my call for more than 256 bars in BIAB and multiple undos, undoing everything (there are simply too many small actions that don't show up as something you can undo).

While the surgeon did take some cells for cloning, the lab reported back that after 48 hours of gestation in the incubator oven, the petrie dishes were overrun with a strange smelling black goo that appeared to throb on the backbeat at metronome 140, occasionally bumping up to 320.
At the same time, really weird sounding Bop lines were reported to be heard emanating from the cultures by the observers.
The Center for Disease Control recommended destroying all samples by means of Plasma Destruction.

A Plasma Destroyer is a real device. It is a machine that can destroy any substance by converting it down to the Molecular or even Elemental level using nothing more than rather large amounts of power.
The chamber itself is not all that large on most of 'em, but the associated support electronics, plumbing and cooling and such typically takes up two large buildings or so.
BZZZZZZZZDDDDDFFFFTT!
And if you are brave enough to look through the darkened quartz watch window from behind your welding mask, you can see the bright blue light from the Plasma doin' its thing.
Can totally destroy any substance, Hazmat, Biochem, certain types of Alpha emitting Nuclear, you name it, renders it down to its base elements. As long as the amount doesn't overfill the Plasma Chamber anyway. You may have to invest in a few other things in order to break your sample up into smaller pieces safely and not endanger yourself or your neighbors, but hey.
Last year the US Navy sold one off surplus at auction, just think, you can be the first on your block to own one. Just be sure that you can supply the necessary 3-phase power at the 440VAC level before purchase, the wall wart for this toy is the other building...

The ability to render the real drums kit into separate wave files or wma files so that each drum kit piece can be individually mixed inside a sequencer. I know that some of you have argued that it would increase the size of the overall real_drums files but here is my pitch:
There are many of us who use BIAB for music production purposes and as such, we export the files from BIAB only to import them into our sequencers of choice (protools, logic, nuendo etc...). As you all know, you can't generate a 'great' mix with only a stereo drum track although you can achieve a decent mix, most of us are after a great one. In order to truly shape the song, being able to mix the individual drum kits is crucial.
I am a music producer as well as a recording artist and trust me when I say that similar folks would be flocking to BIAB if this type of post-production control would be made available.
Thanks for considering.

I would love to see a Real Tracks Cajun Pack.
Also Jazz Fiddle, and Jazz Mandolin, and jazz Accordian would be nice.
World instruments would be neat too like Brazilian Choro RealTracks with Cavoquino and Brazillian mandolin etc.
Other world instruments like Bagpipes would be cool as well.

If that’s not possible how about a button that would make my voice sound acceptable

I just want them to solve the timing issues with many of the VSTi's in RB and PTPA. This would solve one of the problems above, I use jamstix a lot for drums along with RDs, with JS you can output the drums on 8 channels. Nice for mixing them.
I also liked the idea of some RTs with oohs and aahs that would be sweet. More of what has come out will be nice as well. The RTs are getting better all the time. With better VST support and a few more RTs you could make almost anything. The other thing i would like to see done with PTPA, and RB is the same thing i would like to see in cakewalk products, is to see an FX bin on the master strip so you can place a master limiter and Eq there, rather than have to route thru aux busses on everything.
