Do you use BIAB to do (primarily) original music or cover tunes ?

I don't do covers. If I was a really good singer I might, but I'm not, so I don't.

Yeah I would have said that same thing a month ago, but I just got a midi win controller and have been creating backing tracks for some of my favorite flute peace's that I played when I was playing the flute way back when.
I still mostly use BIAb for original songs though.
To be honest if I actually thought I had a for sure hit on my hands I'd send my song to a pro recording studio and have them do the arrangement and vocals.
Don't get me wrong I think BIAb's great, but I sure ain't no singer and as good is BIAB is I think most of the time a pro studio would do a better job.

You probably wouldn't recognize the original when I'm done. But it still is a cover of a sort.

Mitch, you need to add another item to vote on and that would be both.
I use BiaB for cover tunes and originals.
Of course maybe I’m the only one. But I doubt it!

Hi Mitch. Originals for me. I want to do some covers to play out with, but I'm having too much fun writing with the program.  Since I got it I've done about a dozen new songs, and re-recorded some old songs. It's also great for writing jingles. We've had about a half dozen BIAB jingles on the radio, and are working on a TV spot now. BIAB is the greatest writing tool I've ever used. Regards, Bob

Mitch, Likewise.....both. My versions of Jazz Standards.....I suppose you would class these, as "covers"?  And I also write a lot of my own stuff, both as instrumentals & vocals.  Regrd, Joe G.

All original here as well. I've done one "cover" (or new original, if you will since it's quite a different arrangement)of Nights In White Satin. But, that wasn't done with BIAB.
Cheers,
Mike
Edit: to add that the above mentioned cover IS licensed through the Harry Fox Agency and can currently only be listened to on my www2.mixposure.com/mike_kohlgraf page - for those who might be curious)

Mitch - All originals here. Were I still doing bar gigs, I might be tempted to do covers although I doubt they would be faithful instrumentation - too much work!! But I'd rather put the effort into originals and deciding which genre best suits which song. That's why BIAB is so great - all that flexibility. Ian

Originals, but I only really use biab in the early phases of composition.
Generally nothing left of it by the time the final version is ready.

Covers only. I wouldn't know where to start with composing and don't know what I would do with the originals. At the last count I had 500 covers, all typed into and arranged in BIAB. Plus every one has a copy of the sheet music with performance notes arranged in binders - it's been a life's work!
