Bob,

Thanks for the best, and most honest post on this topic.

I think a lot of folks who post here are afraid that Peter Gannon is going to see it and get pissed and tailor their comments accordingly.

If you can afford and have access to pro level musicians, then you’d be crazy to use BIAB, except for sketching out tunes and practicing.

Since most of us can’t afford or have access to pro level musicians, then BIAB is a “Godsend” for us. It allows us to be able to create songs with a myriad of instruments and styles. No other program that I’m aware of can do that.

We all know the cliché’s about why BIAB is better than live musicians, (doesn’t eat all your food and drink all of your beer, doesn’t hit on your girlfriend, doesn’t smoke all of your weed, is never late for practice, isn’t a bad influence on your chil’run, CAN play almost any instrument, …etc.)

But we shouldn’t misrepresent the program and say it’s a legitimate replacement for talented musicians in a "pro" setting. It isn’t. JMHO, so please don’t flame me or try to "debate" me for speaking the truth.
