Kim, welcome aboard!

I bought BIAB 2016 for making backing tracks too. The last version I used was the original DOS version from centuries ago smile! I use Windows 10 and find BIAB very robust. As with any music software, you need to make sure you have adequate RAM and a good quality sound interface. Other than that, you should be good to go. If you're in doubt, please post your system details.

"Notes" is 100 percent correct. There are folks on this forum who will walk you through the most basic startup procedures right through to the funky and fancy stuff. Dr. Peter Gannon's team are stellar as well, when it comes to product support, updates, and bug fixes. If we could only get Dr. Peter to buy out Microsoft, users would experience real customer satisfaction and quality software - but I digress.

Drive on and make music. Let us know if you get stuck. Best...
