I am curious if most people use this option.. "Generate 2-bar ending".... I have to go in song settings every time I create a new song. Wish this option would remember that I disabled it instead of defaulting to on every time.
Also would be nice to have a button for the F8 option for multiriff. On mac I have to hold down the function key to acces F8. Very cumpersome.
Piano Roll
In piano roll it would help workflow in my opinion if you have an edit mode where notes are added and deleted with single click. Clicking blank sopt adds and clicking on a note deletes. This mode is toggled on and of with button on toolbar. (ie toontrack ezdrummer 3)
PLEASE make velocities adjustable by clicking on the note. Even if it's a command click etc. Adjusting when the notes are so close in the velocity editing section at the bottom of the piano roll is very cumbersome..
Make the snap dropdowns more user friendly to non musically educated people! Use 1/4,1/8,1/16 etc instead of cleff notes etc.
Add transpose functionality to selected notes via right click menu instead of shift clicking.... Ideally add up or down 12 semitones for bass tracks!
Audio Edit window
Please allow auto scrolling while making selection on an audio file.. Now you have to zoom out to make larger selections. Needs to scroll with your selection at any zoom level..
General stuff...
A good general idea would be to add an assignable actions menu to each function as they do in reaper. Would be a great addition!
Add a quick way to get to or map copy/move tracks. I use this a lot but it's buried several layers deep in menus.
Thanks for allowing us to have this forum to express our thoughts for future development..

My list would be a hundred pages long but the bulk of it would probably come down to that one big problem. The convoluted menus are just hell. Biab simply tries to do too much with them and they are often confusing, unnecessary and can slow the workflow down to a point that makes you want to not bother.
One example, "select realtracks". This should have no sub-menus, it should be one click to open up a single Realtracks window (not two different ones) where we make our choices. Having all the options shown in the menus, including their current state - it's just madness. Honestly, I sometimes don't know if I'm coming or going with it all!
Of course a lot of this could be forgiven if we had customisable key shortcuts.
Concentrating on just these two things alone would massively improve the software quickly, easily and probably cheaply.
The piano roll? Hmm. Up until now I've not been too bothered by it for the simple reason that any midi editing I wanted to do, I just did in the DAW. I have used software from the early 90s that had more usable and advanced key editors than Biab's current version - just not worth the bother.
However, with the advent of playable realtracks I agree this now needs some serious work. Even bringing it up to the most basic of usable functionality would be a huge leap forward.
BTW, not sure about on Mac but about the velocity adjusting problem, just use shift +/- on the selected note for increments of +/-5 (I think).
A few of the things you wish for are already present, at least in the Windows version. [I can't speak for the Mac version.]
Here's a suggestion that might help you. Make a separate post for each item in the 'regular' product forum. Ask if this is possible, and how. Then come back here with specific requests.

User Video: Band-in-a-Box® + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!
Since AI is now readily available online as a resource for many things, we recently put together and shared a video where we demonstrated how to create a song using Band-in-a-Box®, ChatGPT, and Synth V; we've also shared a Bob Doyle Media video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band in A Box, showing how they utilize AI for their song projects. Now it's time to share Henry's video, Band-in-a-Box + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!, where he demonstrates how to use ChatGPT and Band-in-a-Box to whip a song project together in only 3-4 hours.
Visit Henry Clarke's YouTube Channel, Henry Clarke - Senior Musicians Unite, to find a large collection of tutorials showing the viewer how to achieve amazing results using Band-in-a-Box®!
If you've reviewed our Support page, you've probably noticed the Videos page, which separates our Band-in-a-Box® tutorial videos by category: Overview, VST DAW Plugin, Setup, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and there's even an Archive category to go down memory lane... (You'll also find these videos on our YouTube Channel.)

User Video: Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box®
The Bob Doyle Media YouTube channel is known for demonstrating how you can creatively incorporate AI into your projects - from your song projects to avatar building to face swapping, and more!
His latest video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box, he explains in detail how you can use the Melodist feature in Band-in-a-Box with ACE Studio. Follow along as he goes from "nothing" to "something" with his Band-in-a-Box MIDI Melodist track, using ACE Studio to turn it into a vocal track (or tracks, you'll see) by adding lyrics for those notes that will trigger some amazing AI vocals!
