Love the product. Getting into it now that I bought it, I would love to see the ability to add one Audio Backing Track to work around building my song. Yes I know I can sync with a daw, but this is more about using Synfire as a Standalone product to noodle out a song idea without having to go into full daw production sync mode. I should have the ability to only use Synfire in my workflow. Having the ability to import 1 audio track to listen to and allow me to build a song around would be fantastic.

I see. While this would be quite possible, the challenge is to deal with different sample rates, channels, tempo changes and such. Also the user interface would need to provide a means to display and position audio on the timeline. Effectively, this would boil down to developing a small DAW.
That said, it's already on our wishlist anyway. I however don't think it will be possible to make this happen anytime soon.

Personally I don't really need audio added to SynFire.
I have several very capable DAWs and audio processing plugins all of which sound wonderful. I've found that I can load all my VST instruments into the DAW with or without sync (Transport) and they play just fine.
When I need to add audio to the DAW, SynFire has two options:
If the DAW has rewire, you can sync them together.
If the DAW doesn't have rewire, you can convert the audio to midi and load it into SynFire for noodling.
OR - SynFire has direct midi Drag n Drop to most DAWs, which opens up lots of possibilities.
