For many years I would create my own midi tracks for the odd bit of music for myself and my ex. All my live playing was done with fellow musicians. We rarely used other types of tracks although I did put some MIDI songs into a keyboard I had. I did know some guys that spoke of BIAB and I had seen it a number of years ago but it was not for me.

After retiring about 6 years ago my wife and I moved from Tasmania up to a retirement village on the Gold Coast. Not long after I arrived here folks asked if I would do some songs for them. I needed some backing tracks pronto and got BIAB Pro. Then in a short time discovered RealTracks and have been creating backing tracks ever since until March this year (I did my last show and everything shut down).

Lately I’m back to playing with MIDI and have spent a small fortune on things such as Kontakt and VSL Synchron Orchestra stuff. But BIAB is still there generating bits I want albeit with an increased use of MIDI. I do this mainly to maintain some form of sanity in this new age of shut downs and to see how far I can push it for myself.

Thanks to PG, BIAB and the Forum Folk.
