"a simple one-time viewing of Spinal Tap will restore our focus back to why we use applications like BIAB!"

LOL Great movie.


"Seriously, there is a dynamic in live ensemble performance that just doesn't exist in a recording or programmed piece, especially when accomplished musicians are involved. That can never be replaced."

I totally agree with this. No matter how far technology advances - and I love the technology - great vocalists with a great band playing live is magical.

The local club scenes may not be as viable as a starting point for bands any more but for the major artists live shows is still where the money's at and I don't think that will change any time soon. I think up and coming bands will have to play more fairs, festivals, college parties, or rent halls to sell their own shows and be really good.

But for the single performer and songwriters technology is a God send.
