Re: Plugin, the author is looking at it the wrong way, you have the new Tracks view, Notation view, Audio Editing already in Reaper and other DAW's, with professional editing and VST3.
Reaper is why Biab now has a Tracks view with non destructive Riff Editing, Reaper has non destructive audio editing, Biab audio editing is still destructive. You don't want all the bloat in the PLUGIN like Biab as the DAW will have the functions needed, you want the PLUGIN to be easy and simple to use without a big learning curve, users already know how to use their DAW, the PLUGIN in Reaper gives the raw recorded tracks instantly ready to process in as if they were just recorded.

Still, the DAW Plugin lacks many features I now find indispensable, including the new Tracks view, the MultiPicker Library, Notation view, Audio Editing and many other functions. The full BIAB 2024 program has actually reached a level of mixing and editing capability that can completely finish a song production right in BIAB (see the Band in a Box® Radio reference below). But the DAW Plugin is there if you want to work mainly in your DAW and use BIAB only to generate some arrangements.
