But, with that all said, I do not know whether this sort of major effort would be worth it to PG. I have no idea if their business plan includes targeting the younger demographic. Perhaps they are happy with the market they already serve and do not see any need to plan for growth of the product 5-10 years down the road.

If a viable competitor were to appear their choice would be made for them but until (and unless) that happens they may in fact be content to keep patching the same software each year. And, as I and others have said before, in spite of the dated GUI, this software does such amazing things that I am a customer for life! laugh

Oh, one last thing...if Dr. G were to call me up and say JohnJohnJohn, what should we do? I would probably say,

- ignore 64-bit
- ignore calls for a new GUI
- work on a new product that is a RealTracks VSTi
- keep the current BIAB for the existing and some number of new customers...patch it up a little every year...keep adding new RealTracks
- but market the heck out of that new RealTracks VSTi product as the ultimate plug for every DAW on the planet
- become a direct kompetitor to Kontakt and other big-name virtual instruments
- over time BIAB becomes a legacy product and the new VSTi RealTracker becomes the flagship

I'll be waiting for your call Dr. G! laugh
