Welcome, chiguy

Yes. PG software should DEFINITELY be on your list of 'must have' music software.

I have been using the programmes here for over 15 years and have never found anything better, more intuitive or more useful. And every six months or so, it just gets better!

However, I wonder about your personal situation. What instrument are you learning? Are you a singer? Is your music theory knowledge better than your playing? What exactly do you want to achieve?

BIAB will do all that you have asked and more - at a click or two of the mouse, you can generate whole new songs, including arrangement, solos and melodies. You can then include RealTracks, and make any adjustments you want before taking it to RealBand for extra additions, re-recording, mixing and mastering.

However, some sixth sense intuition tells me that you might well consider looking at M$ SongSmith at this time. PG is also involved in that
