Keep this in mind:

1.) You WANT a great backing band without the need to call your friends over, and thanks to PG, you know it can be done, and is within your reach...not that you don't want to see them, they're just too busy to come over as frequently as you'd need them given your 'musical appetite'.

2.) You WANT the COMPLETE CONTROL of your backing band, to be able to change any musician's playing style, or voicings, or phrases...and thanks to PG, you know it can be done, and is within your reach.

3.) You WANT to be able to record your backing band, and control the mix, and use all the advantages that a computer can provide in cutting, pasting, moving, and editing recorded music (be that analog, or MIDI)...and thanks to PG, you know it can be done, and is within your reach

4.) You LIKE, having a bunch of like-minded musical friends from all over the world that teach, help and inspire you to learn more about music and become a better musician, and are willing to chat with you every day over the forums...and thanks to PG, you know it can be done, and is within your reach

4.) You WANT to be able to say "there is a big learning curve to these products, and I conquered it"...and thanks to PG, you know it can be done, and is within your reach

5.) You LIKE tinkering with your computer, and getting sophisticated software to do what you want it to.



No, ...... I don't! (Well, ... for the most part anyway.) LOL.

My recordings went to hell when I started trying to integrate a drum machine, ... and then later BIAB into them. (OOPS. Sorry, ... I know that's not an accepted idea on here. I know I shouldn't speak honestly.)

Things went along VERY smoothly when there were only humans and a "record" button.

That may explain why I'm such a big fan of acoustic music. I wish I'd never sold the old Tascam 244.

Bob
