....I am an old guy and I remember when I had my hardware sequencers: you just saw 16 tracks,all you had to do was choosing on which one to record,and so on.

Why can't BB be like this? I would expect to see first of all a software mixer for the sequencer,with tracks and icons for each.



What you're describing is Real Band. This is why RB was created, to answer everybody's questions like yours. As you've discovered, Biab has some very basic and hard to access sequencing functions but that's not what Biab is. Biab is a killer program for creating good backing tracks for you, not to allow you to use it as a sequencer to record your own. You can do some of that if you insist but why bother when Real Band was created for exactly that? It combines Biab with a full functioning 48 track sequencer that still has complete access to all the Real Tracks and Drums.
Naturally there's exceptions depending on what you're trying to do. Biab is much better for live performance for example so if you want to record a specific part for a song to use on stage, then it's best if you learned how to do it in Biab but other than that RB is the way to go for this.
