Bugs are very annoying for customers of all software. Sadly reality shows that no software ever shipped will have no bugs at all. Releases that are driven by features have naturally less bugs than ones that are driven by deadlines.

I guess the team responsible for the plugin couldn't make it for the 2020 release. That's the bad side about it. The good is that PGmusic seems to know that and is actively trying to fix stuff for the current release. What really would be outrages if we had to wait another year and to pay to see those fixes. And I have seen this in my early DAW days with Magix. Currently I use Reaper which may be not the best DAW, but i see updates at least once a month. Not because it's so buggy, but small features are added constantly.

We can hope that the plugin team gets more funding (man-power, working hours, etc) for the next release. That is, after they have fixed the bugs of the 2020 release wink

What could also help if PGmusic invites some of the veterans for a closed beta. I have the impression that the software is only tested in-house. Input from the outside may improve the situation. Though I should add that also some musicians should be invited to test that have no experience with BiaB. The old-timers are used to the tridden pathes. Fresh input is also a good ingredient in an ever changing world/market.

PS: I hope to see an intermediate release of 2020.1 including new features. smile
