There will be as many opinions here as there are folks to toss them out.



That’s actually a good thing. If we all had the same opinions, it would get boring pretty fast.

My idea of what a musician is, isn’t something new and is pretty common among people who play instruments in general and is definitely the dominant view of most acoustic musicians. No doubt my acoustic background has contributed to my opinion.

This being a forum for a computer program specifically designed to create computer generated music, then I can see where my view will be frowned upon and some would take offence. I’ll probably keep my view on this in the background here on the forum unless there’s a reason to bring it up.

But ultimately each of our ideas on what constitutes a musician are nothing more than opinions, and each of us have the right to our own. One thing is sure, …… I think we answered the main question of the thread about why some are closed minded to BIAB, and we did it without even trying to! LOL.

Take care guys and lets hope that tomorrow is uneventful as the 10th anniversary of 9-11 rolls around.

Bob
