Well, some interesting observations.

So.... I don't mention who did my tracks on a song unless someone specifically asks. Once they ask, I tell them how I did those tracks.

I've been in the forums where BB is considered "cheating". So the response I give them is, "Do you play all the tracks on your music?" The obvious answer to that is "no".

So if you used a drum synth, or a bass synth, or even hired another musician to play it for you.... isn't that essentially "cheating" too?

I don't waste my time anymore arguing or discussing the use of BB as cheating.

There's at least 2 folks here in this forum because they heard the music I was creating with BB, liked it, and got involved. I didn't try to convince either or hard sell them on what a great tool BB was. I simply showed them what it could do when they heard my music.

Aside from this forum, (Showcase) I don't list any of the tracks and who played or how they were recorded. Many of the old-timers on the other forums know me and know I use BB and as I listen there to others music, I hear more of them slowly starting to incorporate BB into their projects as well.

I've found in life this truth.... You can't convince someone to do, or buy something they don't see as a value to them personally. They gotta want it themselves first.
