Two thoughts relevant to the article:
Tape Op is a great print and digital magazine. You can receive the magazine
FOR FREE! just by going to the web site and signing up. What's that? What web site?
+++ Tape Op . com +++ My brother, Charlie Fogle, has been a very strong advocate for approaching Band-in-a-Box and it's track limitations the same way you would approach recording using a eight track recorder. You are not limited to eight instruments all you have to do is plan how to obtain maximum use of each track. By bouncing, using the "empty" space in each track you can create as good a song as you could with RealBand or with another DAW.
The main point of the article seemed to be plan out your song before you start recording.
