Almost everything I do is performed and produced by myself using various software--BIAB, soft synths, DAW, mastering suites, etc.--with the additon of guitar, bass, and other instruments. In the past I have given myself credit for composition, performance, production, and, in the cases of BIAB and Reason in particular, programming--without listing the devices or software.

Is this adequate? I have said in the past, and still hold, that I consider BIAB a co-composer, as much of what I do is inspired and shaped by the program. Yet, it is under my direction. BIAB's output is rarely an end product. (I have one composition(?)* which I created in BIAB, ported into Reason and very lightly edited. But I consider it mine.)

IMO, BIAB is a secret weapon. I know of few (hedging; can't think of any, actually) professional artists who list software in their album credits. I'd like to do right ethically, but also don't want to give away any secrets.

Opinions, please.
