That does not suit the way I use Band in a box, most of my arrangements are simply quick stuff - and I am constantly changing them - I use BIAB to practice changes, song forms, cycles. I might put trogether a 2,5,1 followed by a chromatic descent, play(improvise it) it through using jazz, then see what its like in country, then bin it. I just quickly jot stuff down and importing and exporting is to much faff (here). I also find that I have to run my VSTs outside of BIAB environment (painos Hammonds - general GM is never going to cut it here for the pro) and I can't get levels right. If I use Asio in BIAB then I get no ability to balance stuff, if I use MME then I have to rely on Windows Sound control functions. Hardly ideal Some might be able to use there sound card GUI but mine does not have a mixer.

So - Support for VSTs and a mixer in BIAB - I dont wish to go outside and mess around, its time consuming.


Wouldnt it be nice if I could see and control levels and reverbs etc for all the pieces in the band AND my VSAT piano (which I have to run concurently as a standalone). I Adore BAIB thats for sure, but it does not seem very pro to me to have to juggle with outside apps just to get levels - after all, BIAB is an an accompaniment app. This seems to me to be basic requirements that are missing.

Why not integrate REAL BAND and BIAB -could be done if you got really creative and thought about the GUI. I have never seen the need for two apps - just more complexity more duplication to handle. Granted integrating would bring more complexity in one sense, but having to swap stuff between two apps is not ideal, and the learning doubles up for the user.

LOve BIAB!
