This topic has revived with the above latest 'wish' posted with no elaboration to any pro's to substantiate anything other than it being a 'wish'. It's better to discuss it here rather than interfere with the wish itself.

I need more information before I can support the wish so far. From the perspective of how most users complete a song, and with the primary use a generated BIAB track has in a song project, there's very little benefit or advantage that a control surface adds to the development of a BIAB track.

For instance. "Now that over 2 years have passed and we now have a lot more tracks available, have things changed? Is there some integration now with standards like Mackie ot HUI control interfaces?"

OK. Let's the discuss the benefits. We now have single channel volume automation. Why do we need an 8 channel X-Touch?
It still makes more sense to me to export a BIAB track flat, centered and dry to a DAW that can use all of the features and tools of the X=Touch rather than start/stop of an expensive device.

My impression from posts in the BIAB Forum is BIAB tracks are overwhelmingly edited and completed in DAW's. That makes sense and down grades midi controllers usefulness to generating tracks because most discussions present a DAW is the better choice.

It seems that BIAB is better suited and used primarily as a tracking tool rather than a mixing tool. Most discussions I've read treat BIAB's one track at a time process as rudimentary, crude and outdated in comparison to the modern DAW.
