Eddie,

There are at least three takes on your statement.

The first and most obvious is that you are a complete professional and live by the dictum that time is money. You use BIAB for what I originally got it for--a demo tool. I mean that in an entirely complimentary way.

What you are describing is likely either a hobbyist or an artiste, someone who will spend endless time tweaking the thing to get the perfect take. It's just another approach to BIAB suited to those who, unlike you, don't have access to talented studio cats to wring out the changes.

Then there are the weirdos like me who use sometimes BIAB as an instrument in its own right.* Its output is the product, not intended for adds or embellishments. Well, maybe except for washing the resultant MIDI file through Reason and fleshing it out a wee bit. In the meantime, let's fiddle with it until it's . . . just . . . right . . .

Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
