I feel it is getting close to that point. I just wish it would be done well (like new UI) and not half baked, even if it would be limited to the number of existing tracks.

While I record audio / MIDI in DAW, I would very much appreciate being able to use a couple of existing tracks for basic audio input recording for sketches and ideas.
2026 BIAB Piano Roll is already very usable. Time to tackle audio recording.

P.S. Ohh, and a statement: "BIAB is not a DAW" makes me nauseous. BIAB is a DAW. A different kind, but nevertheless a DAW.

A significant difference between the DAWs I'm familiar with and BiaB is BiaB tracks can accept audio or midi input while DAWs have tracks that are midi or audio specific. Even DAW hybrid tracks, like Cakewalk's instrument track, is really just a midi track with a hidden instrument patch. I don't believe BiaB can have a "simple arm/record audio record option" as long as BiaB tracks are not midi or audio specific.

While you do not agree with the statement "BiaB is not a DAW", all you have to do is check out the +++ BiaB for Windows "About" +++ statement or consider why PG Music offers Realband to see PG Music does not agree that BiaB is a different kind of DAW.
