Okay, so some responding says no new DAW functions. I get it; especially when you're experienced with using a DAW, DAW functions in Band-in-a-Box are redundant.

But if past new feature introductions are ANY indication of Band-in-a-Box's path forward, there will continue to be more DAW like functions added to the program in the future.

My belief is PG Music is targeting new Band-in-a-Box features at the next generation of audio producers that are not locked into using a DAW. If you start audio production using a smartphone or online app then Band-in-a-Box is a step up. If Band-in-a-Box offers DAW functions and that is what they are comfortable using, why switch to a DAW.

Especially for new audio producers PG Music I believe they hope the balance will shift toward Band-in-a-Box as more DAW functions are added.

For the existing DAW functions in Band-in-a-Box my thought is you can't know how easy, hard or if a task can even be done in Band-in-a-Box until you use whatever DAW like feature Band-in-a-Box offers. Then compare with your DAW.

Some DAW tasks are easier in a DAW for sure. But some DAW tasks likely are easier in Band-in-a-Box.
