I agree with you Mac. I want BiaB to be better NOT to turn into a DAW.
That is why I said “So IF Dr. Gannon and the other fine people at PGMusic decide to write a 64 bit BiaB I HOPE they ask for suggestions. I have a couple already. One would be to open up all 16 midi channels for us to use and the other would be to allow a different VSTi on each channel.

I think it would be nice even today to have the option of adding different instruments to the five we already have via the other assigned MIDI channels. For me that would be a great option to have but I don’t think that is being selfish. It’s just my idea for a better product. Note I said option. Users who need the MIDI channels as they are now would also have that option.

Also being able to add better MIDI sound sources like ram intensive VSTis would be an improvement IMO. BiaB has made some movement in that direction by adding SampleTank. My suggestion would take that route even further.

I have the up most respect for Dr. Gannon and crew. They have put out a fantastic product that I use almost every day. It is an Autoaccompaniment program and I DON NOT WANT THAT TO CHANGE. This is one of the few companies that ask for suggestions and listens to them. Thus I add my two cents.

I do use Biab as a learning tool, both for my students and myself. There is no better music learning tool out there IMO.

Just my thoughts.

PS – I guess I lied about my last message on this thread being the last!

Plus I should add that I have the up most respect for forum members also.

Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.
Me-I'm not John
Doc-I know, I am!
