Henry,
First of all welcome to the forum! Heard a couple of your tracks and the one that you posted in User Showcase recently. Good stuff!

A few days ago I watched the video you mentioned above. We have very similar setup and methods. Yes.., it is valid workaround, however...
To solve specfically this and several other acrobatics 2 components are needed.

1) more available mixer tracks in BIAB (16 sounds like a perfect number:))
2) bar freeze (aka bar to bar regeneration)

There had been several heated discussions about adding mixer tracks, the latest is here:

Dr.Gannon replied to that topic by saying it is technically possible. Not sure if it will be implemented soon or not(or at all)... It is my biggest wish for BIAB... If you think it will be usefull to you, and I have a feeling it can be, kindly support this idea in the forum link above.

Misha.

Misha, I definitely support the idea of more tracks. It would go a long way in filling out a song. Especially if you're going to use loops like I did in my Disco song. I would say I don't hear a lot of music in the forum where people use a lot of tracks. A lot of the stuff is Acoustic based or Jazz based with maybe with a soloist. However, I do think that if there were more tracks available people would discover new songwriting capabilities outside of those genres. It looks like PG Music is trying to broaden it's base with the addition of loops, some of the newer RealTracks, plugins, DAW Integrations, etc.. so I'm guessing they would also like to capture a newer fanbase. Without the addition of more tracks capturing that base will be difficult. I like 16. I agree that's a good number. Would settle for 12 :-)

As far as Bar Freeze I'm kinda indifferent to that one since I freeze a lot of patterns I like anyway and edit in my DAW. But it's definitely something worth exploring.

Henry
