Are there veteran benefits??
It ain't a race - if it were I'd be losing to guys that are more 'old timer' than I! I try to hang out and 'pay in kind' for all the help I've received here over the years, and give a little back to PGMusic; they have been generous in repaying me for any help I've given them (which has been very little)
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Getting close to time to sing Kumbya with all those over 200 posts.
Should we argue about the key sig, I'm still basso profundo, or for ya southern lads, I croak...
Maybe with a Cajun style so we can put steel guit from Howard, Furries squeeze box, some guit from Russ, and Mac on fuegelhorn, I can add a bombardo part, and we got Mel for Vocals, and Allanah to backup the accordian and vocals while we throw in Gary to organize a moving van and some keys, and Matt to write us and lead some latin horn parts. Of course we ask Oliver Gannon to get us some extra licks, and Wien Sam to tell us some good stories on how to put in some vocals about horses, and top it off with Rachel who is way prettier than that black cat.
Once the cats get the thing in the right key we can practice the circle of fifths in a RealDrum circle and use an eagle feather for inspiration. Just don't drink too much Orange Peeko, or you'll drown in yer teapee.
Run! Notes Norton is gonna write a style for Cajun Latin Country Canuck German world muzak and sell us some stylin'.

I am a newbie in this forum, and I could write a lot about how great forum this is, but I think Mel maguire said it in a better way.
About being a grandaddy:
When my father in law get hes first grandchild they asked him: "isnt it great to be grandfather" he replyed "yes this is great, but in my life I newer thought of going to bed with a grandmother"
Best regards

Thanks Mel for sending us down memory lane. Been here awhile, haven't said much.
Using the User's list at Matt's suggestion I showed up on page 5.
Registered in 2000 but my first BIAB is v.5 dated 1/25/93 but bought it in 95 along with a ton of midi and sound stuff.
I was actually introduced to the wonders of BIAB by a Peruvian musician living in Ottawa. He did part time accounting for my employer. Once he found out I was a musician he started to come in and tell me all about his music projects and this amazing software he had. Funny how things are connected sometimes.
Forum Members: Let's take this one step further - How did you discover, or were you introduced, to BIAB et al?

A salesperson at Sam Ash in New York City recommended BIAB to me when I asked about a more powerful version of the Yamaha QY-10 portable hardware sequencer. At the time, I had no idea that there was software that could do what BIAB did. When I found out how inexpensive BIAB was, I was skeptical until I heard a demo. I bought it on the spot and have hardly missed a day with BIAB since 1994.
BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

I haven’t been using BIAB nearly as long as some of the so-called “Old Timers” (this term is used in the politest sense), but here’s my introduction to BIAB.
In 1987, after twenty-odd years of playing in a band, I gave up music completely. In 2001 I dusted of my old Roland EP to have a play, only to find out that I had lost the ability to play at a reasonable standard. The brain knew what notes to play, but the fingers had rusted up, and it was one of the scariest & most frustrating times in my life. I was previously a reasonable keyboard player, and to have lost what I believe was a God given talent made me very angry/sad/frustrated/bitter….you name it.
I decided to take try to learn to play again, and in order to stimulate my interest I went to the music shop with the view to buying a new keyboard. Having been off the music scene for almost fifteen years, I knew nothing about new technology – the only brands in the shop that I recognised were Roland & Yamaha – but the salesman showed me a Casio (yes I know what you’re thinking) and it seemed to fit my needs. I told him I wanted to try to make recordings of backing tracks, in order to accompany me while learning, and he said “This is what you need…” and handed me a set of computer disks…..it was called Box in A Band or something. I was in techno shock and walked out of the store without buying anything, thinking “No…this is too difficult.”
After a few days of pondering I bit the bullet and went back to the music shop, bought the keyboard, bought the Box Band (“No….it’s called BAND IN A BOX!! – silly old fart”)
So for the last eight years I have had endless hours of pleasure using my new found musical friend. I recently worked out that the cost of my keyboard, plus BIAB, plus regular upgrades, divided by the number of hours pleasure I have received equates to less than fifty cents per hour.
Where else can you get value like that?
Cheers,
Keith
