1) the TECHNICAL musicians ( who are usually the product of structured musical training, and who are more knowledgeable about theory and classical technique)

2) and the EXPRESSIVE musicians (who are often self-taught musicians who play by ear, but who have a natural sense about music and can often duplicate passages or whole songs after hearing it briefly)

3) and there are some lucky individuals who are both.




This topic's question has to do with different kinds of musicians not BIAB features.
Labeling someone as a TECHNICAL musician has nothing to do with using software, unless I'm missing something here or some are reading more into this than the question states.
This is about how schooled or trained you are as a musician. Not if you use software to create original songs.

I fall into #2 and believe if you have never played a musical instrument or learned music, you're not a musician period.
If your musical skills are or have faded doesn't change that you are a musician.
Discussing one button software music creation or any software has nothing to do with this.

I'm sure that I am in the minority hereon this issue, but if you can't pick up and instrument, whatever it may be and make some sort of melody or chord progression you are not a musician at all.

Since this question has to do with MUSICIANS, I find the comments on BIAB features or any other software a form of advertising. I assume anyone reading the posts here are BIAB users.


I'm sorry if I offended anyone, just my opinion.
