Hi everyone, I’m a new user to PG Music and I’m very excited about it, but there’s so much to learn! I’m struggling to decide if I should use BiaB or RB and I’m hoping someone can give me some help in that respect.

I use Cubase as my DAW and I write songs for my own pleasure only, not for commercial gain or anything like that. I’m a reasonable rhythm guitarist but that’s about it. I can write a song using my guitar but always struggle with the accompaniment, which is where I’m hoping PG Music comes in!

So if I can write my own chords and melody, what does BiaB give me that RB doesn’t? The only thing I think I’ve found so far is the melodist but I don’t think I need that. RB seems much more flexible and I envisage getting some chords down and generating some RealTracks and MIDI and then moving it all into Cubase.

Is this the right approach or am I missing something spectacular that BiaB can do that RB can’t?

I’ve posted this in the BiaB forum as it seems to be the most popular one, which again is telling me I’m missing something! I’m interested to hear what all you other people do regarding your workflow and the two programs.
