One word of caution. The learning curve can be quite large. I have basically been playing with biab for close to 20 years and to date have been able to actually create 5 tunes I could realistically use on a gig. The software will do everything pg and the gang here say it will do if you take the time to learn it and the time to use it. However, you need to know it does take time. Entering the basic chords takes no time at all BUT entering the lyrics requires a whole new process. You need to play in the melody line from some sort of input device (most folks use a keyboard). When you hook it up it won't play in time with the software because of something called latency so you will need to get another piece of hardware (an audio interface). Then you have to line the words up with the melody exactly or it doesn't work quite right. Then after all of this you realize that the tune doesn't sound all that good and you have to spend countless hours trying to find the right background style and or real tracks to get it the way you really want it. Final results: exactly what you want but now you need to learn how to use the conductor feature so you can start and stop and repeat sections live on the set.

Now is this a recommendation for BIAB? Absolutely! For one thing maybe if you go through all of this we will be able to trade some arrangements. Our play list is exactly the same. If you go for it, go for the largest pak you can afford. The ultra plus mega pak gives you everything but the videos (which can be pretty much d/led from the pg site and the song and lessons paks. Believe me if you do it, you won't be sorry and will have a toy that will keep you busy for quite sometime.
