For me there's still a lot of under the cover "magic" going on with BiaB, especially in the area of RealTracks. I ignored the app for years, thinking that it was just generating MIDI. I don't know what RealTracks were like in the early days, but I'm in awe by what I can produce with them. The whole pipeline is pretty amazing - creating the process for arranging, recording, editing, reassembling, time/pitch adjustments - took a lot of imagination and technical prowess. I'm probably as critical as anyone on the UI and a few other shortcomings, but I always try to wrap up my constructive criticism with "but nothing else can do what it does". I saw a big jump in rendering speeds with 2021, so assume they are doing more with multithreaded background processing in parallel with playback.
