Sir,
As iam a regular user of BIAB so i have some general questions.
1)is it not possible to have more tracks apart from bass,piano,drums, guitar,strings,melody,soloist in future updates.Such tracks as efx ,core Indian instruments such as santoor ,tabla,sarod ,more of Indian styles, as well as styles from all over the world.
2) auto mastering facilities.
3)rich melody making facilities.
4)themes for films such as (action,suspense,drama,romantic etc)
5)music to video option
6)more and more of styles/samples of todays world
if the above things are provided then surely BIAB will emerge as the no one software for music programming/arranging software.
thanks and with regards

Welcome to the forum friend. It sure is a lot to ask from a single software. Although many of the features would be great, the engineering of it would be enormous, though my opinion is not valid since I know nothing about programing.Also the nice price for what is intended to do is about right. Some people complain about the complexity of it thus the learning curve. Imagine if all of that were added to it! I'm just saying...
Regards
Mike B.

I particularly like the laundry tips

Sir,
As iam a regular user of BIAB so i have some general questions.
1)is it not possible to have more tracks apart from bass,piano,drums, guitar,strings,melody,soloist in future updates.Such tracks as efx ,core Indian instruments such as santoor ,tabla,sarod ,more of Indian styles, as well as styles from all over the world. I agree that that there should be more tracks. There are 16 MIDI tracks in BiaB but most all of them are dedicated tracks. Why not open them all up for MIDI, RDs and RTs?
2) auto mastering facilities.
There is no such a thing as auto mastering. Each song is different. You may want to look into EZMix by Toontracks: http://www.toontrack.com/[/quote]
3)rich melody making facilities.
4)themes for films such as (action,suspense,drama,romantic etc)
5)music to video option
There are some of these available already, check your styles. Also some styles can be used in genres other than those stated. This is especially true of MIDI styles.
6)more and more of styles/samples of todays world
This I agree with, more styles in MIDI and RTs.
if the above things are provided then surely BIAB will emerge as the no one software for music programming/arranging software.
If all that you suggested were include in BiaB then most all of us couldn't afford it!
thanks and with regards

Just my thoughts and YMMV.
The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal".
Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

I think you are missing the actual point.
You can have a lot more instruments already, it is just that the 'gui' doggedly remains at the default bass, piano, guitar etc.
What would be useful is if the actual instrument changes when you put a different instrument there.
eg. a cello real track or midi track should be just that ........ even if you placed them in the piano slot. It does seem silly that it stays as piano when it isn't.
Ho hum.

I'm with you Mal, I don't really understand why this hasn't been improved long before now
