Although we love the accompaniment and that RealTracks provides, and it is the "next best thing" to having a real musician of that caliber to work with you, it is limited in the sense of the phrasing variations it allows.



if we're comparing the limitations of phrasing, and BIAB comes out being LESS variable than a real musician, then your experience with the creative genius of bandmates has been a lot better than mine.

My opinion is exactly opposite yours on this topic. I think that in a band of human musicians one of the biggest limitations is variability of the musicians' repertoire. Eddie commented not long ago that he saw Kenny G in concert, and ten minutes into the show he had already played the same riff 3 times. And he's a pro! Joe Local usually knows less.

In contrast, BIAB has MULTIPLE possibilities for each real track musician,and multiple real track musicians for each instrument. And multiple instruments available for every song. And multiple styles available for every project.

Quadruple everything I said if you're comparing the collective variable possibilities of BIAB to the variability YOU ALONE, (with no other musicians to add new ideas) could possibly bring to all the projects you'll ever produce from now till the end of your life.

And for the rest of your life, there will be 2 new versions of BIAB per year, each having so many new variants on a theme that you will never exhaust the new possibilities before the next version comes out

Given your current musical productivity, how many projects do you expect to finish in the rest of your life? There are already more possibilities available than you could exhaust in that number of projects. And more are on the way.
