Thanks smallchamer, guitahacker and jazzmandan for your the helpful responses.

Smallchamer, I too wouldn't be averse to leaving in BIAB guitars if I thought they were good enough (or better than I could do). Some of those Brent Mason (?) baritone guitars are particularly good.

Guitarhacker, I don't really write electronica, more pop/rock. I'm actually writing a song to my Mum for a Christmas surprise at the moment which is a sort of Pop anthem remembering events in her life. Realband is on my "to do" list as I don't really know what it's for - it seems like a DAW with some BIAB capabilities but then I have Sonar for my DAW so I don't quite understand where it would fit in yet. That's one reason I have only purchased BIAB 2015 Pro for now to give me until end December to decide whether I need all the stuff that's in the EverythingPAK. It's actually in my shopping cart along with Jbridge (for SampleTank 3) and the 49PAK, lol.

Jazzmandan, I'm an ex Reaper user and only defected when Sonar X3 was on a special offer (cheaper than Reaper). I still think it's a great package.

BIAB 2022 UltraPAK, CbB, Studio One 5 Pro, Fender USA Tele, Harley Benton Fusion & others.
