Thank you for this. I take your point, but I can see a use for these real tracks in my DAW (Cubase). I can see importing these audio files into cubase as a whole in the tempo, key, with their chord progressions and mixing several of these together and cutting, splicing, more or less orchestrating them--taking parts out, shifting from one track to another. Much as one would do in a studio setting with audio tracks. I've watched engineers bouncing from one track of mine to another trying to get a decent take.

Is this an appropriate use of the real tracks to you? When I think about it, the only thing I can see not being able to do is changing tempos. Is that doable with audio? I doubt it. I find the vital flaw in BIAB is that you just can't use one song file in an entire piece. It just gets too boring.

Thanks for your help. Happy Holidays.
