This is one of the primary reasons Real Band was created. RB is a marriage of Biab and a DAW precisely so you can create multiple parts of the same instruments on different tracks, bypass Biab's 255 bars limit (there's yet another thread about that for the gazillionth time), better midi editing, better audio editing, etc, etc. RB was and is PG's answer to all these things that come up on the forum continually because Biab IS NOT A DAW.

The "Band" in Band in a Box refers to a standard small group of 4 or 5 players playing standard AABA type songs. That has already been expanded by things like the Crooner RT's, and loops. More than that and you're entering the world of DAW's.

16 tracks?? That's small change Mario, you've got 48 already.

Use Real Band guys, that's why it was invented in the first place.

Yes Bob I know that BiaB is not a DAW. But BiaB has 16 channels all ready so why not, if possible, open them up the user?

I already have an extremely good DAW now so I really don't want to learn another one when everything that I would want to do in BiaB would be enhanced with all 16 channels.

I know that 16 tracks are small change for a DAW! But 48 tracks is small change to what I could use in my DAW if you want to get into specs. But I will add that most all of us would never use 48 tracks.

I am not trying to start a war I'm just suggesting that BiaB could be a lot better for many users, IMHO, If all channels were open.

When I was young I was poor. But after years of hard, honest, and painstaking work I am no longer young.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
