I too have had the reaction that biab is for learners. What a load of cr*p ! Like guitarman I just can't get to grips with real band as much as I've tried.
I'll just stick with my original set up of biab and then working with sonar.

On the other hand there's been MANY expert musicians who've been highly impressed with biab and have been dying to try it out for themselves.

I'm delighted at the work that goes into each release. All to often you have software that is several years old ( no namedropping I'm afraid ) you get the latest version which si a few hundred quid ( dollars ) dearer than the one you paid for only to find there's been little change in the bells & whistles. Personally I think that's disgusting.
I have tried a couple of other music programmes but nothing came near my beloved band in a box.
