There is a money-back offer with the program. What do you have to lose?

Rockabilly doesn't need much more than that; think Stray Cats. Again, with the money-back guarantee, what do you have to lose? Be warned, though - BIAB is an addiction.

BIAB is still 32 bit, so you won't gain any quality by upgrading to a 64 bit card. Your money might be better spent on your recording computer.

All I can add is get ready to look at music in a new light after you start using BIAB, in a good way of course.

I believe they have a decent slap-back setting. You'll have to play around with the delay times to get what you want. Here's a thread that covers that topic: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Rockabilly-Vocal-Delay-m981872.aspx p.s. Here are some free delays you might want to try: http://bedroomproducersblog.com/2011/02/27/bpb-freeware-studio-best-free-delay-vst-plugins/ p.p.s.
