Thanks for your responses - you've both given me lots to think about and I'm starting to wonder if actually I would like something more comprehensive than simply better sounds for melodies.

As great as BIAB is for backings to songs and jazz standards, it might be nice to breathe life into my other (more classical) works, so perhaps I need something a bit more wide-ranging.

I think I'll go and do some research!




This is in part an arranging question - and is the main reason, up to now, I have avoided BIAB. The kind of music I compose is relatively non-dependent on brass or woodwind solo instruments. I don't know if that's because the types of music I enjoy generally doesn't use those (although I recently picked up a Wynton Marsalis' In Gabriel's Garden which is glorious), or if I've migrated to writing/arranging songs which don't depend on those instruments.

I play all manner of guitars to enough satisfaction to make my recordings of such listenable to myself and others.

Chicken or Egg?
