Nice work Sir Jeff! i hope this gets the traction it deserves. The multipicker is certainly a star feature, and it needs some love after release. Great points, let's see if these issues get some attention.

<< Unknowns: 1) Strings Family are not associated with Country Genre >>
Just a word for clarity that may help you develop suggestions as you test further. There are country strings but they are grouped with pop/rock genres so using the Category Button to limit the search to only country doesn't produce any results. To find 'country' strings a user must also use the Filter String Box to broaden the search to pop\rock or country which is how country Strings are described in the Genre Category.
Thanks Charlie, to be honest I just assumed it was operator air at the time that I was making the video, so I didn't dive deeper into it.
They might want to double check some of their categories for instruments that are used across genres but only if they make that filter automatic like the other three.

Docked Panels have been brought up in the White Paper's conversation and I realized that we didn't really have a video explaining to people what they are. Along with this series of workflow videos that I did this winter this is showing simple things that PGM can do and has already done it just needs to be embraced fuller to eliminate some of the old-fashioned dialog box approaches of the UI. This along with a dark mode would go a long way to make customer more comfortable in the software.

Every one of the workflow series videos, which call out inconsistencies across the application can be fixed with relatively very few lines of code and I would hope that we see many things in this thread addressed in additional updates to the 2024 release.

+1 Jeff on your workflow videos, they very much communicate/demonstrate improvements that are needed. These must have taken quite some effort to produce and not everyone has the communication skills to do something like this; job well done.
I may have stumbled upon 1 or 2 of the issues you raise, but because I learned from a longtime user to get in and out of BiaB quickly, most of what you covered I've been blissfully unaware of until viewing your vids. And these vids are 1000% more communicative than a 1 or 2 line posting in the Wishlist forum.
Consistency is everything in large software programs. Hopefully these will be properly addressed in future updates to BiaB.

Thanks Bass Thumper Although they have been seen and acknowledged by PGM you'll notice that most of the videos were made in December of 2023. They certainly aren't urgent matters but it's the little things that count if they want to keep people in the tool longer.
I'm hoping they will at least give us consistent location and looping in a vertical cursor when they give us VST3 this year.
I usually start the song in BIAB, then refine it in the plugin while working in Studio One. I make all these suggestions to help keep the customers more comfortable working in BIAB.

In 2024 quite a few important menu dialogs became non-modal. Panels would make a lot of sense at this point in time as it is mainly just transferring existing functions in neat, dockable/un-dockable UI items. This will improve, standardize and make workflow more consistent.
