Thanks for you comment. The point this thread and your response are missing is that the conversation is being framed entirely in DAW terminology and mindset. DAW looping standards don’t apply to BIAB. To use BIAB effectively, DAW users need to understand BIAB’s own standards and approach. BIAB is not a DAW, and it handles audio and musical material differently. The architecture between the two is fundamentally different.

Some of the six different looping functions relate to how the looping is being used; editing, practice, composing, teaching, or auditioning ideas. Some loop functions are optimized for exact repetition, while others may regenerate new material. Expecting identical playback on every loop applies to DAWs, but not necessarily to BIAB.

Don’t expect BIAB to behave like a DAW. Approaching it from BIAB’s generative perspective, the looping behavior is consistent with its design, even if it looks different from what DAW users might expect. DAW users need to change mindset. BIAB doesn’t need to be re-designed.
