I'm hoping for super intelligent new melodists. A super dooper Uilleann pipe. Some Classical Crossover and a more reliable plugin for all Major DAW's.

Also, the option to be able to change sample rates in any of the software that BB uses and in BB itself.

Hurry up crew. Need some pre Chrissy fun.

What say you?

Oh, I'd swap midis for RTs any day - but then I'm an analogue kind of guy. Lol.
RTs and RDs that were more British or European in style would be nice. 'Retro' RDs would be great - thinking 60s and 70s drum xtyles.

i would like for 2022.
1. my wishes posted over the past few years implemented.
2. the pg 90 buk pen drive with biab and rb on....
run like a bunny rabbit on a PI computer.

laugh at me if you wish, but i'm gonna go out on a limb
and say if pi gets an even more powerfull processor,
and stays under 100 buks, it could be a daw disruptive force. bear in mind already reaper and traction waveform and other music software works on pi...thus i suspect some music daw developers might agree that pi might become a force.

@Matt

Well I use an Audient iD22 Matt and us zero latency freaks often get messages like 'you must have the same sample rates in the prog you are using and the external sound module. BB kind of insists everything is done in 44.1 KHz 16 bit. I always work in 96 KHz 64 or 32 bit. Very frustrating at times. Cubase changes automatically when it notices a change in rates but not all DAW's do and it certainly renders the BB plugin useless unless I revert back to 44 KHz etc.

Complex world aint it? :-)

Thanks Mal. I understood this. I just thought it would help to clarify its importance for others.

+1 for support of other choices for sample and bit rate

Mal/Matt.
i too am an audient user. in fact i cant complain so far useing the audient for a few months now. hasnt given me one problem. and, comparing the results with big studio gear i once used, i'm very impressed.
i really like the mic pre too plus low latency.

if a song of mine sucks its not because of the audient....its my fault.

but heres my position on sampling rates and bit depths.
and if you peruse various forums youll see
many recording folk whove been round the block a few times agree.
but its an on going debate on such sites
as www.gearspace.com and recording.org etc.
1. i'm of the camp that goes only as far as 44.1/24 bit.
(my reaper daw is set to that, and biab to 44.1/16.)
2. i constantly remind myself that zillions of hits were done before 88.2/96/192 k. also i save a bunch of disk space.
3. ive actually done tests with your "typical man in the street"..who ive found cant tell a diff tween different rates.

i dont want to get into a heated debate, cos its been done too many times on various recording forums.
above is just my opinion after doing real life tests.
somewhere on the net is a scientific research paper that agrees with my position. sorry forgotten where.

merry xmas to all.

I have no issues whatsoever using 44 KHz Matt. The argument between higher sample rates and lower will never really be settled. Most plugins have been adapted now except the BB plugin but I'm sure it will come.

I feel comfortable at 96 KHz only because I settled there over time. :-)

@sixchannel

Yes the RT's and RD's are amazing sixchannel. It's even more so when they come with the option of converting to midi.

So many VST's now are at a level that is so tempting. Playing the Garritan CFX Piano is amazing, as is so many vi's now and with so much quality in effects plugins too the challenge when Mixing and Mastering is sooooo much fun. :-)

more RTs please but basically a program that doesn't need patching up until November 2022...............

and for RealBand support for Izotope plugins that means they retain their settings when the vst window is reopened (you have to use Pipeline's KV elements workaround at the moment)

vst3 plugins too - although again KV elements is a workaround

Yes, stability matters. laugh

I also have everything that I can set, set to 16-bit at 44.1 KHz. However I have on occasion run into hardware that insists on 24-bit, or 48 KHz. I remember one Roland unit that absolutely would not lock at 44.1 when I tried to connect using S/PDIF.

The request Mal made is not just over a discussion of desired recording quality, where we could get into a long discussion (please don't) of dithering and rate conversion. It also includes compatibility.
