Bob,

I kind of disagree with this too. I think it is the problem in all of these conversations.

BIAB was never meant to do it all.

You can do INSANE modern country or any other genre with this program if you selectively use tracks--even if it is just bass and drums--and then add your own stuff, guitars, keyboards, whatever.

On Ableton and the idea that all new music stuff is created in a DAW and the young people would get bored with BIAB. Well yeah. I know and work with people who are Ableton gurus and for some of them, their stuff is meaningless. There is not a shred of music to be found. I don't care if they are 22 or 28 and don't like Band in a Box. Their stuff sounds like crap and they can't play a note. They have never learned a thing. Why should I be concerned if they are bored with a program that requires some musical knowledge? I don't give a flip.

Here is my take on modern:

Modern is tomorrow.

And the only thing standing in between you and modern is your fingers.

And your brain I guess.

BIAB is just there for the bed.

I don't know why people keep overlooking this, over and over and over.

You have to play something. BIAB can't do everything for you.

But where else can you find a good drummer and bass player that are still sober at 4 o'clock in the morning??

Ok, that was my rant for the month.
