>>> So my question here is, why would you not just use your DAW to do your songs? Is it because the groove is better with BIAB or what?

Jeff,
Band-in-a-Box creates the tracks for you, You type in chords (Fm7 etc.) , pick a style, and press Play. You then have several tracks (bass, drums, guitar etc.)

Your typical DAW doesn't do that. It requires you to play the parts yourself. If you can play all the parts, and you want to do that, then you wouldn't need Band-in-a-Box. But usually there is at least one instrument that you *can't* play (e.g. pedal steel), that you can get by typing in chords to BB.

Have Fun!
