I'm not really knocking your suggestion just pointing out a fact.


You make some great posts Mario, but I respectfully disagree with you over this point.

I think by the term DAW you mean "sequencer" as in Pro Tools, Cubase etc.

Band in a box is a Sequencer in Some senses. It plays one asset of things, then the next and so forth, in a sequence. .I understand your poi8nt though, primarily it is "accompaniment software". For me this means playing a backing track to which an instrument can play along to. In second place for accompaniment software is the ability to record the player - along with the track. Legions of programs do this well including all those Yamaha PSRs and so forth |(though they are not as good in other areas). BIAB makes a rubbish job of this.
Firstly you can't even hear your VST until the song starts, secondly you never get to see the track. Thirdly there is no ability to record different takes. How many people are always satisfied with their first take? How many people might wish to sb to be able to handle selecting 8 bars from the first and 8 from the second?
For me I would assume any accompaniment software should handle recording well, a top line program like BIAB should do a way better job than it does - "period" as the USA says
