charlie.
as always i like a nice exchange with you.
1. 16 traks.
re 16 traks. did you see pipelines graphic layout ?. that was lovely. well thought out.
the prob is charlie, you know all the "tricks" to squeeze max performance out of biab. as youve shown in your post.
(includeing useing BIAB akin to an MTR).
so do a lot of us. the problem is often new users DONT.
even some longer time users dont.
its hard enough just to get people to read manuals. (eg biab manuals.).
i found this out the hard way in industry. we would pump out lots of helpfull manuals, triks and tips
but most people STILL never bothered to read them (or the FAQ's), and thus often help deks were flooded with calls, because people didnt want to read the manuals !
when i worked in industry i found people wanted what i call "instant coffee solutions."
ie "i, the user/client have a problem, no i didnt read the manual, but i want it solved NOW otherwise i'm calling the CEO." lol.
so any OVERT feature that makes acceptance by new users fast i think is a good thing, rather than them finding out through often trial and error.
just think over the years, how many times have you posted your nice biab "triks" to help a new user ?
it shows your a nice helpful person, and kudos to you for that, and your patience in doing so.
but i feel users like rustyspoon and others have a valid wish for 16 traks.
OR MAYBE EVEN BETTER . LET THE USER DECIDE HOW MANY RT's/MIDI's/AUDIO TRAKS RECONFIGURABLE BY THE USER.
TO A TOTAL OF 16 ??
as a user would in their daw. total flexibility within 16 trak limit.
so some users might choose 12 RT's , 2 midis, and two voc audio traks.
others 7 audio traks, 4 midi traks, and 5 RT traks for a total of 16.
see what i mean ??
ie ULTIMATE USER FLEXIBILITY.
frankly i can do songs with or without it, i was just thinking of the new user.
also .
when PG pump out the manual with the usb drive in the box i think they should include an addendum like "charlies and other users tips and tricks".
2. VOC TUNING.
the prob is this stuff is hidden in menus. people have to hunt.
and then go through a choice/set up process.
the idea was a simple one button press. et voila. vocs tuned.
put the option on the mixer.
3. BIAB SAVES.
i think i maybe didnt express the wish properly charlie.
its all to do with how biab drag/drop folder works and/or when biab is used as a plugin in a daw. please read this thread.
and pipelines reply with a script.

matt.
the idea is to have a pre-emptive feature before the user gets into deep trouble, and possibly blames pg. also yes the user can employ a cpu checker a la in win task mgr.
but how many will bother ?? thus the wish.
think of it like an "early warning system." ! in industry we found this type of feature cut down sometimes on no of support calls.
best.
