TRYUK.
you make an interesting point, but i'm not sure i completely agree. interesting topic though.
often a song is a group effort to make it come to fruition.
in this case biab is a tool and part of the effort for many people.
for example if you have a song youve done in a huge recording studio with ace session musicians. and it becomes a huge hit.
its STILL YOUR SONG, with your lyrics, your chords, your
arrangement etc etc. like it is in biab.
it could be argued of course that studio engineers plus session musicians made it a hit. as happened numerous times over the years with many songs, after a songwriter demoed a song rough mix.
for example i once had a song i knew was pretty decent, but i could never get right useing a 8 trak tape recorder.
so i went into a friends big studio, who brought in some top flight session musos, and after listening to my demo,
did exactly what i wanted and rocked the heck out of it.
i was so happy. the trouble is even tho i was charged a fair amount cos they liked the tune. i just didnt have the funds to do any more songs that way. the studio and the session musos were amazeing talents tho and wonderfull people.
thus in my case i have to use biab, cos , like most people i just cant afford big studios plus session musos always.
i have other serious family obligations. but at the same time i have , in my inner soul, the desire to create songs.
so what can i do ?
good topic for discussion.
best.
