For me Band in a Box serves two different purposes:

a) Developing a song from scratch, having only some idea of a melody in mind. The standalone version helps a lot to easily and quickly create some result, to experiment with different styles and instruments, I otherwise would not have at hand. The possibilities of the standalone version to tweak and to experiment with different styles are absolutely great and I don't want to miss it.

b) To add further instrumental tracks to songs I have already recorded in my DAW. Here the plugin comes into play. It is a reasonable tool either to take over what I have created with the standalone version beforehand or to make some further refinements before taking over any instrumental tracks to my DAW. The more simple and quickly this can be achieved, the better. I don't need fancy functionality for this. A good basic audio or midi track will do the job.

I also wonder why tracks have to be re-generated by the plugin first, instead of using what has already been created by the standalone version. Especially as the outcome differs. This makes no sense to me. But for sure, I will stay with my DAW for the final mixing and mastering. Often enough I just take over the midi file from BiaB and replace the instrument by some other sound library in my DAW.

To sum it up: Any way to select or take over tracks or only parts of of a song to any DAW, without additional hustle, would be absolutely appreciated by me. All thumbs up for the injector idea.
