One of the recurrent problems many of us face when using BIAB is a decent sounding ending. The 2-bar jobbie just ain't cutting it -- it almost always sounds too abrupt, even when the instruments aren't cut off, which they often are.

There might be a simple solution, though -- make the endings 4-bar.

They don't even necessarily have to be changed. The only important aspect is making sure that they have enough time to properly decay and fade out. Or, if you've got a "shot"-style ending, give it an extra few beats for the instruments to hold before the shot. We don't have to have the entire four bars filled with noise -- in fact, giving them room to "breathe" is kinda the point.

It would also be nice to have a little more variety in the endings, or at least to have holds and shots work properly for them.
