BIAB is really good software and with enough skill and willingness to spend large amounts of time getting all that can be gotten from the program one could come up with a pretty good sounding demo.

But...only in certain styles, and I think there would always be the need to play something live.

You could pull a thirty thousand pound trailer with your pickup truck but why would you?

I really like BIAB and I am glad I have it but I don't think it is logical to ask the software to do something way out of it design parameters, even if it can be done. It is just to much work and there are much quicker ways of doing things.

I am not willing to spend three hundred hours getting something out of BIAB that I can buy for a hundred bucks for example. That's just not cost effective, for me a least.

Last word on this subject...There also is no sure way to get what you want from a first class pro studio. Everything has limits.
