Thanks, Matt. That is along the lines that I was thinking.

I am a newbie to BIAB, and I am just learning its capabilities, strengths and limitations. I will play with it and learn in the process.

A piece that my band is currently recording has about 15 tracks, about four of which are audio. My instruments that I would like to lay down on top of the mix are all non-midi.

But that is ok. I do not need BIAB to do more than it is designed to do. I will learn BIAB, play with it, and also use other tools where appropriate.

I originally purchased BIAB for its intended use -- to be able to lay down my own cbord sequences, played in a chosen style, and compose melodies against them.

Since BIAB is track oriented, I also wanted to discover what other capabilities it had.

I will play with BIAB 2005 and the included ProTracks.

Once I get some facility with the product, and get hooked on it, I will upgrade to BIAB 2014 with RealBand.
