Muso's reply is excellent and spot on. As a hobbyist I can not afford to go to a studio for any of my songs. I will add that I use BiaB because I can not play violin, cello, flutes, fiddle, etc so I rely on BiaB for add those parts.

Also there have been some fantastic collaborations here so if one doesn't want to totally depend on BiaB then ask for help. I'm sure someone here will collaborate with you.

As you probably already know I have a lot of me in my songs. That is because I mostly use the MIDI side of BiaB, a side that I feel many have neglected. With BiaB MIDI tracks, good sound sources, and even a limited MIDI working knowledge these tracks can come to life and they are much easier to edit. YMMV


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.
