Hi Texasprenegade,

I'm new to using BIAB only got it this year and I feel your frustrations. I too had mental breakdowns and anger management meetings due to this this complicated programme.

If it wasn't for the support of the guys on these forums I think I would have thrown the towel in a week aftyer I bought it!

I am not the brightest of buttons in the box when it comes to this type of music making stuff nor computer litereate but I persevered.
I gained more inspiration when heard the songs otheres were producing and knew that BIAB/RB does have the quality. SO I continued to blunder about and ask a few questions on these forums.

My first step to producing something was to do someting simple (right up my street)!
Perhaps don't be in a rush to start on your favourite song you've written.
Make a simple chord progression- Take it into RB convert it into WAV import it into your DAW and make a few edits, chops, splits add vocals and any vst's gitar breaks etc etc.

The next step will be learning about the drum stops, regenerate solos on any instrument.
Be patient and things will happen. If I can make headway, believe me anyone can!
I only use a few of the buttons out of the 75 you counted so don't despair.

The support you will find on here is second to none in my opinion, great advice and support and all this is free of charge! wink
Stick with it
All the best
Paul
