Ok. Most of what I'm going to put here I've put in the wishlist forum.

1. Vst/VSTi complete support - The real thing ... not a work-a-round.

2. Real Instruments with good intro and outros.

3. Real Instruments that stop where the hi-lite region stops. (Usually plays a bar or two past the music)

4. More stereo/mono tracks.

5. Less overhead use.

6. Real Tracks to follow midi tracks instead of randomly playing a rhythm based on tempo.

# 6 is important. If Real Band and BIAB were to use midi tracking it would save us a ton of hard drive space. We wouldn't have to wait for up to 2 minutes for the song to generate the real instrument before playing. Locking in the real instruments wouldn't be necessary.

Just because your real instruments sound pretty good with a two bar ending doesn't mean they'll sound worth a hoot in Real Band when opened. I've created entire songs in BIAB just to have proper endings with the real instrumenst only to have the endings messed up when opened in Real Band. So ...

7. Absolute opening and closing duplication between the two programs.

8. Less overhead use.

There has to be a better way to make all this stuff come together than what we got now. It's as if my computer is loading almost to the 2 gig of memory when I have an app that is using 20 tracks and a bunch of plugins. These programs need to find some way to call all this stuff during playback so as not to load the memory banks with a ton of program.

I hope this makes sense. It's the only thing close to a gripe I have with this software. I can edit and tweak the heck out of a track. But nothing torques me off worse than to have my system stutter because it's overloaded in the memory banks with stuff that ought to be streamed.

Just my opinion. Others mileage may vary.
