How are your computer skills. It is readily acknowledged that to really take advantage of (or maybe even to work with) music applications like BIAB you really need to be part computer technician. That is simply the way it is! Add to that you need to appreciate the learning curve and complexity of both the program and also of music itself. Ask yourself, do you have a short attention span or do you get frustrated quickly - cause if you do you may not want to go there.

Those who get the most out of thie application have a fundemental love of music and understand that they are in it for the long haul. And they have a technical side which allows them to jump over the "technology hurdles" which come with computer assited music. The music takes a lifetime to appreaciate and the technology is simply not intuitive. You have to put in the time (and enjoy the progess). All those things you mentioned you want to do with BIAB can be done - or BIAB will be a launching pad to do them in realted applicatons. But it is a jouney not a destination.

Have I scared you off?
