I think that is the consistency we are possibly looking for.

Separately, if I know I don't want the guitar to play on measures 9 to 12, on Legacy tracks I can easily do this with <F5>, before I ever need to generate. This is not that straightforward with a utility track, I need to use a completely different method to achieve the same result.

Without getting into a debate, 'consistency of operation' across all tracks is really what is required (I believe).

First, let me say that I consider myself a BiaB newbie that stumbled into the issue of not being able to mute a utility track in the same easy way that I can with legacy tracks and therefore requested a wish for this to be improved even though there is a (clunky in my opinion) work-around. I have no clue as to the historical background here and why this is the case.

Second, I apologize if my original post was not as well articulated as it could have been. And being the newbie that I am, I would never presume to be knowledgeable enough to specify how this wish should be implemented. There are contextual, historical, user-base, software and other ramifications that I will never be privy to. This is the domain of the experts. In any industry, multiple factors must be balanced, including customer experience with the product.

Third, AudioTrack captures very well what I tried to express. Because workflow matters, my brain appreciates intuitive and consistent software design.

Fourth, my interest is for PG Music and their awesome flagship product to be as successful as possible in the ever-changing and competitive domain in which they operate. There will always be competitors nipping at their heels. This (in addition to achieving smoother personal workflows) is why I offer suggestions in the wishlist.

Fifth, (an element dear to us bass players) smile let's pay it forward, share the love and work toward the common good.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
