As a rhythm guitarist and singer who cannot play anything else apart from some percussion, I find BIAB has given me the ability to make music with other musicians, albeit virtual ones. So BIAB stands alone. I cannot play keyboard so MIDI is no good for me either. I wish I could play more instruments and record each one but there you go, we all have limitations.

The GUI has got better so I'm all for an improved GUI and to make the program easier to learn with more video tutorials please. The easier the programs gets the more people will be drawn to it. Also like to see more Realtracks of different styles. In my opinion there's too many that sound the same. We need good quality Realtracks for different genres.

Now Realband to me is a complete headache. It looks like a DAW but isn't and universal functions don't seems to work in RealBand. So what seems intuitive to do does something else or does nothing.

All said and done, it's a great product that needs better design to make using it easier. But I am a fan!



+1 on that, Paul!
I could have written it!
I too am a guitarist with no other musical skills, no keyboard, no musical education.
So I use BB to give me exactly what it says on the tin - my own Band In A Box by a few QWERTY keystrokes.
I love the RTs which would be even better if PG realised that there is music over the other side of the Atlantic and gave us more appropriate Styles. Less Jazz - please!!
RB - I agree 100%. I have tried and tried but in the end I have to export my BB wavs to an 11 year old DAW (Cakewalk Guitar Pro2) to work on the Mix. Some folks' minds might click straight on its Modus Op but for me its just too hard.
