Charlie, you had me going until I read "...the process works flawlessly and it's very stable." Sorry, we will just have to agree to disagree on the whole BIAB as a DAW claim.
Interesting Thoughts. The "process that works flawlessly and is very stable" is BIAB's functionality as a multitrack recorder. I posted a link to a video where PG Music states BIAB functions as a multitrack recorder but I'm not aware they ever claimed it to be a DAW. Prior to the invention of the DAW in 1977, every record was recorded using multitrack principles, gear and techniques. BIAB meets the threshold to claim being a DAW because a DAW emulates and replicates the functions of a multitrack recorder not because it has the hundreds of various functions, buttons, VST slots and such.
My understanding of BIAB demos is they are programmed within the BIAB program and are not 'enhanced' by processing the tracks through a external DAW software so PG Music staff can showcase the natural capabilities of BIAB. Listen to the demos, they are not flawed and the Performance track feature does work flawlessly, I've never experienced a single failure saving a Performance Track.
BIAB treats programmed Bar settings done internally by the BIAB algorithm differently than Bar Settings done post Chord Chart manual programming and is more stable and seamlessly produces high quality, professional results in seconds -
