On the software side check out KVR for free anything you like. Its also good to get hold of the magazines which have a CD with free stuff and lots of synths etc on them. If you want to compose, then at some point you will need a sequencer - there are free ones about - try KVR again. I think Real Band is a sequencer if you have this, I have not checked this out yet as I am new to BIAB.

Your Piano skills will be real handy.



Zero, it's ok to send a noob to KVR just for general knowledge but don't recommend all those freebie synths for Biab. Remember Biab only has one midi output port so all the sounds have to come from whatever synth you choose to use. If a freebie synth is a cool sounding electric piano emulator, then every track in Biab is going to sound like a ep, the drums, guitars, everything. That's why Gary's been talking about what synth is he going to use and is recommending that Cakewalk bundle because it includes the TTS-1. That's a decent sounding multitimbral GM synth that has all the sounds in it.
Really pay attention to what Gary is saying, he's one our resident experts and explains things very well.
