Frank,
Thank you for your detailed reply!
As you might of guessed, I care deeply about BIAB smile
I don't know if Bar settings are carried over to Plugin. Very possibly it does. I prefer working mainly in BIAB (not plugin), not to overcomplicate things until I get arrangement at least 50% complete, only then I move stems and MIDI to DAW. Overcomplication... truth be told, that is why I asked those 2 questions. I believe hobbyists that only need a handful of tracks should not be send to RB, instead PGM should properly update existing function to accepted standards. BIAB has a way to record audio, but the process is very awkward and severely outdated. I am not a professional by any means, but I would like to have a way to record audio sketches the easy / common way in BIAB, instead of jumping from software to software.

P.S. PGM has an option of upgrading just program (without content) for about $70. In my view, 2026 update was one of the best since I was here.
