I have been a BIAB user since about 1995. Back then I had an 8088 computer with a 20 MB hard drive, and we were just a bunch of guitar players without a band but loved to sit around and jam. Sometimes we had timing issues, (usually depending on how many beers we had). A buddy of mine had BB and after I heard it, I ordered it so we could lay down some drums and bass to play against. I listened to one of my old demos from back then the other night and it was still pretty good. But NOW, OMG, with Real Tracks, there is going to be a big difference. The studio musicians idea was great. And to figure out all the programming needs to make something like this happen must have been quite an undertaking! Well, having been with your product for more than 18 years, it was all worth it. Forget the price. At any price, to some like myself, it would be worth it. Just listen to a version from the 90's and you will see. This new version is a lot of work for me to bridge the gap from then to now. But I am already getting good results just since December. (No sleep, but results LOL) I will look and it will be like 7:30 p.m. and by the time I look up again it is sometimes 12:35 a.m.!!! So I just "save as" and go off to bed. Some of the real tracks are sooo good, I am having a hard time fitting in now. Just wanted to say well done to the PG staff of Techies who made it all happen, and thank you all for your replys, as I hate to find answers in the book sometimes, I just want to make songs.

Later. . .

The RealDrums and RealTracks decision is what separates BIAB from the rest of the music software. Someday, all music software will follow this strategy. The programming ability of MIDI with REAL instru\ments as output!!!!!!!! You can release your own CD without visiting a studio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is exactly my point, it puts cd quality, studio session men quality recordings in the hands of all of us on some sort of budget. I have only gone to a professional studio once to record one of my best songs, and really it was just to use his top of the line mics ( I still only have SM58's) and his recording equipment. The main music tracks were all computer musicians. We only put down a little live guitar. Now, I do not see leaving the house to get the same results. (as soon as I buy a better mic) It is going to be a great year. I hope everyone gets "signed".
