I posted this in beta for Mac:

So let me run this by everyone for your thoughts. They are ready to start the 2021 version. if you notice 2.9.41 can only go a bit more before it becomes 3.0

I would love to see them spend whatever time is left this year before they move on to other projects on fixing the few little bugs left. Then we will see what suggestions, and or ideas they implement in 2021.

Here are few asks from the forums that many favor.

1. Real Synchronization with the DAW clock. ( this would require them to use the zplane time-stretch .ddl in real-time to stretch audio playback to the host for true ins sync follow the clock synchronization. ) right now it only follows until there is a change then must be reset. This is really in effect tempo mapping

2. ARA2 Chord/key communications to share or send the chord chart back and forth to the DAW. What a game changer that would be in truly tying this thing to the DAW like it is in RB but instead in Logic/Reaper/Studio one/Cubase/etc

3. Cleaned up and modernized GUI (see the ideas from Pipeline and Rusty Spoon)

4. The support for Multitrack drums or as Tobin called them stems. what a cool add in tool that could be.

5. More BiaB RT features with in the plugin. I.E. Direct in or Medley function. These have been ask for repeatedly

6. Add in Volume/Pan sliders. Many want them many don't still it they are there then you can either use them or not.

7. Tabbed bar for the chords and tracks windows. What a useful feature it cleans up workspace and adds functionality


We all know that just about every change made this year brought back bugs that were fixed earlier or even last year. Changes bring issues, issues slowly get handled. Stabilize it now with bug fixes and the develop these features for the next release now only a few months away..

I also propose that in 2021 when the new release hits there is a install option to allow the user to install the new 3.0 along side whatever stable version we end up with this year. This is so that while the growing pains of a new release are in full swing we can still use the stable one without new bugs and not having to roll back.
