I have to disagree about your view of what BIAB is "only" good/designed for (auto accompanist) - but different strokes makes the world go round (mixing metaphors).

No place else can I generate a SONG or flesh out whole idea, start to finish, faster including my over dubs.

In my view, the bulk of what you mentioned RB does over BIAB is what I would do AFTER I have laid down a song or tune/idea.

It's what I would view (no pun), mainly, as "post" work: MIXING/polishing/correcting phase, for me the creative juices just get drained in RB (and PT and Sonar and Reaper and..) when all I want to do is lay down a tune end-to-end, albeit unpolished.

Again just me (old fart, stuck in old ways - like I still think kids ought to learn to use slide rule eek , or at least pencil and paper, first before calculators. FORCES the skulls full of mush young un's to at least have an idea of the concept of "order of magnitude" for the RIGHT answer (yes, Virginia there is only ONE right answer) instead of whatever gibberish their random key punching yields on the LCD "thing-a-ma-bob" display grin )


Lingyai,

John mentioned why he thought you might consider effort spent in BIAB first while Solidrock gives very good reasons to start RB first (and maybe only) - each have compelling reasons for their point of view. Both are long time users and always give good advice.

Good Luck no matter where you go or how you use BAIB/RB

EDIT: PS I'm clearly now posting just simply to increase my post count - someone has to take up the slack now that Mac doesn't post whistle
