PG Music programs are awesome but will 2022 choose reliability and long term wish list fixes over 'new features'? Fixing the RB glitch with Izotope plugins would be at the top of my list. The more 'new features' the more complicated BIAB gets and - or so it seems - the more bug fixes we need. Still, BIAB and RB are wonderful for producing my kind of music.

Several of us are working separately to try to get that resolved with improved testing techniques. We hope that this can be successful.

But what if those new features included making the utility tracks like regular tracks for both RTs and MIDI? Or included time signatures other than 2/4, 3/4, or 4/4? Or streamlined the menus? Or allowed the beta testers a lot more time to report bugs? etc etc. Although I used BiaB in virtually every song I am getting disturbed the way they are introducing new features that are only a quarter to a half finished; features like utility tracks and the VST. YMMV You know you're getting old when a recliner and a heating pad is your idea of a hot date! 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Matt Finley Veteran Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 25,975 Hudson Valley & Lake George NY	From comments that were made earlier this year, I hope it’s a given that Utility Tracks will be improved. There were even improvements after the initial release of BIAB 2021, once people had played with it awhile. Many threads exist with solid suggestions. My preference for BIAB 2022 would be to continue with development of new RealTracks, improve functionality of Utility Tracks, and in 2023, revise core code to fix longstanding shortcomings and prevent reintroduction of bugs. I’m fine with no other new features this time. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus Studio 192, Presonus Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors

My reality over the couple of years I've been using BIAB since I last ditched it in despair, back in about 2013, is that I feel like I've expended more time and effort trying to work around bugs and/or establish the cause so they can be better fixed, than I have actually using BIAB. BIAB does a great job when it's behaving, but to this newbie second time around, it sometimes feels like darned hard work. Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.
