Congrats! That is a great review and although it only scratches the surface of BiaB's capabilities it should open doors for many more music consumers. I had the privilege (and I really do consider it that) of being a beta tester for 2015 and although my contributions were small it gave me an insight into BiaB features (and power) that I might have not discovered with our productions.

Way to go y'all!!!!

Callie,

I really enjoy these articles you've been posting!

If the info exists anywhere, what I'd really like to see is something about how the idea for BIAB was conceived and brought to fruition!

I'd also like to hear about the ideas and follow-up that led PGMusic to apply their MIDI based approach to audio. Not asking for trade secrets or anything, but I do like to hear how great ideas are brought to life!

There use to be a video copy from a TV show made back in the early 1990's by a math professor who I think was related to Dr. Gannon and he discussed the creation and evolving of BIAB. Don't know if it is still around. It's been quite a while since I've seen it and I don't recall all of the details. I do recall it was very interesting.

I did laugh a little when the article said, "There are over 50 new features in this version".

But I definitely enjoy reading these reviews in which BIAB gets the respect it deserves and is not viewed as a "toy", but as a serious music production tool.
