Composition (mostly MIDI), generating ideas-either chord progressions or melodies (Melodist or Soloist), practicing, teaching aid.
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"

composition, recording, live performance.
If i were recording a full album/project i would compose, and arrange in BiaB/RB but full tracking would be in Studio One.
I like RB cause i can compose a full song and prep it for live performance and run the Jukebox feature.

Ray Ray - Many of them are FAKE - "chinese doctors" - eg - efghij502603 (from today) and every day there are more and more. Captcha seems unable to -er- capture them and from the response I've had from Suppport (= nil) they arent bothered about it. So I wonder what the TRUE number of members is. Anyways - Rant over - my use is primarily with BIAB as a composing and then arranging tool. I just cant get on with RB (sorry) so the wavs are exported to my laughably old DAW that still does the job. Ian

I have problems with RB myself. I'm glad that I'm happy with the Real Bass and Real Drums as they are. That's all I need. It's nice to see how many of us are using BIAB differently. Ray

Primarily arranging, with occasional recording.

As a stand-in for other band members when practicing. Also for creating fake books.
No real band. A few real tracks, especially real drums, but again a very limited few. Probably no more than 10 basic styles.
No recording, no track freezes, no arraging or composition just basic BIAB

Basic Composition
Mainly tinkering with styles/chords to hone in on what I am looking for, then off to RB to get 'er done.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Only creating fake sheets in a correct key for me and other band members.
This kind of user (like me) usally are less present at the forum since not using RT stuff etc. will minimize the questions. Imho the poll isn't goïng to show the true use of BIAB. All people I know are doïng exactly the same with it as me they only use it also for practising, what I don't. I use real examples for that matter (mp3), YouTube.
