Hi Folks,

I've been checking out the prospects of purchasing B-I-B for a few years now. I guess I never pulled the trigger before as I was never sure if it was the right software for me or not. Now, I'm ready to make my initial purchase and VERY excited to do so...

I do some in-home recording - mostly cover songs, but now excited about composing and recording my own material. My interests are in classic rock, alt country, bluegrass, folk and blues styles. Guess I didn't leave all that many genres out! As a matter of fact, I have a friend who is quite a good guitar player who comes over and jams every now and then and we focus on the blues. For my recording I use a Tascam USS-144mkII as an interface and Cubase Essential as my DAW. I also use EZDrummer and Izotope Ozone4 plugins for drums and mastering software. All this is done into a gateway quad-core desktop computer with (I suppose) ample HD space and RAM. Oh yeah, the OS is Windows Vista.

Just wondering if the PRO version is the right entry-level package for me...I'm assuming some of the additional modules are avaialble a la carte, but I need to balance the ol' learning curve aspects and budgetary factors on the one hand and system capabilities on the other.

Any other ideas and/or thoughts as I start my journey? Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated!

I hope to "see" more of you all (that's "ya'll" where I come from!) soon...Thanks for your time!
