No you are right on on all of that. Sure if we had access to Pro talent we would all record that way. But most of us don't.

For me it allows me to build darned good backing tracks, and to make music that i enjoy, and can share with others without the cost, hassle, and involvement of a pile of other musicians (both singers and instrumentalist) LOL sorry Bob I had to, my rascal took over!

I do think that a lot of folks over look it because of the stigma of generated material.

I have posted links songs that were made with Biab at other sties and had folks that run small studios that are making a living with those studios, comment in amasement at the quality of what i posted.

I just say i worked with a REAL good BAND!
