Well, I'm still a noob too. But I think that is the max for BiaB. If you have the Windows version then you also have Real Band where you can open your BiaB file and add as many (almost) as you want. Here are some videos http://www.pgmusic.com/videos.realband.htm See Beginner #3. If you are using a Mac; I'm sorry. Maybe someone else can advise.

You get many more tracks (48), you can still generate (with more flexibility and options than BiaB), record more audio, add more FX and enjoy more routing options (like auxiliary sends and subgroups) .. Enjoy this step. Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

And we never need to excuse ourselves to ask any question on this forum! OK?. Everyone learns from all of our shared experiences, me too.

For instance you could have 16 RTs, MIDI or a combination of both. You could assign 6 tracks for a MIDI guitar or more than one for either the melodist or soloist etc. You should put this on the wishlist. I know myself and others would +1 it, again!
