Hi,

I'm a big fan of band in a box and recently showed the program to another musician when she visited me. I thought that she would be really impressed but I ended up sorry that I mentioned it to her at all. It came across that she thought she was far too professional to consider using the program and that band in a box is for lesser capable musicians than herself, amateur musicians like me in fact

I know everyone’s opinion is different and she is perfectly entitled to hers, just wondering has anyone else has this reaction to band in a box too?

Regards
Jan



I'll add a comment to this.
Let's say you are a guitar player/singer/songwriter and you've written this wonderful song you want to share. What is the difference between using BIAB to do the parts you can't do and hiring other players to do the parts you can't play?
Same goes for live. I keep hearing that line" interaction between the players is important". I'll tell you a little secret. (Some musical genres excluded.)I've played pro for a well known artist. You played it his way and his way only. All the time every time.I've also opened and done monitor sound for many, many pros and they say the same thing when asked. "How do you like playing for so & so".In most cases it's "well if you don't mind playing the same 10 songs over & over & over the same way with the same little stories etc. It's OK".
If you are not the headliner and are just a hired gun as we call them BIAB or RB offere way more ability to express yourself then a real band.
