So what was the point to the “Painter-In-A-Box” analogy? If you just type in a progression into BIAB and select a style, and you don’t play an instrument to accompany it, don’t compose a melody, and/or don’t write and/ or sing lyrics, then you didn’t write … nor do you have a song. You have a chord progression with computer generated tracks.



Consider the fact that the great composers didn't play all the instruments in their masterpieces... they just laid out the structure and then turned it over to skilled performers. To some extent, that's what happens here. Its not just a tool for performers, its also a tool for composers, arrangers, and studio gurus.

The ability to take an idea from conception to completion before you're tired of it means that more people who use this software are actually completing their songs, and getting to the final polish stage of mixing and mastering.

On the Sonar forum I mostly see discussions about how to make the software work, or how to do rudimentary tasks... on this forum there is more discussion about advanced topics which only come up at the end of the song creation cycle (mixing, mastering, copyright, marketing, performing etc)
