Ah - just to be perfectly clear ( its ages since I used or tried to use Rewire- namely Ableton with a DAW ) so are you saying **categorically** that my main objection with ReWire against plugin is false and that in fact - were Rewire (in its latest API incarnation ) to be added to BIAB Mac - that ALL the song arrangement data edited in BIAB - DOES get saved as part of the SavedState data in the Cubase project?

I was under the impression that the only thing saved in the DAW project was the rewire audio and MIDI I/O configuration metadata.

If this truly is the case - and ideally if BIAB can be automatically launched etc and load the save state info from any DAW project that Is using a ReWire client - and its reliable - I WOULD be perfectly happy to use Rewire.

Interestingly IAA on iOS - a rewire kind of API in some ways - of course doesn't support SavedState and is being deprecated in iOS going forward. But one presumes reWire will still be around ?

On iOS the move is pushing most (or many ) music app developers to bring out AUv3 versions of their apps - therefore making a distinction that is clear between standalone music apps and plugins.

And certainly having this client-server business with a special cut-down version of BIAB - BBM4 - is a wise solution for fast route to the plugin thing - but in a sense better to either go whole hog and offer everything in EITHER just a plugin - or (with the SaveState caveat ) offer BIAB standalone with ReWire.

All my muso-tech-consuming adult (and teen ) life I've dreamt of and almost got that famed thing from SSL mixing desks - not the movie - TOTAL RECALL smile .... in one project file that is.

if the answer to ReWire BIAB data SaveState in DAW is YES then I thoroughly support putting all developer resources into BIAB standalone and Rewire.
