This thread feels like a weird flashback to 20 years ago

What drove me away 20 years ago was the very long delay to add VST/VSTi support and the GUI.

I was a heavy PG PowerTracks Pro Audio user.

Never bought BIAB, but was intrigued for at least a decade.

December of 2019 I bought the BIAB mid level non audiophile pack. Installed the lot. Both BIAB and RB, I think.

In the 15 years in between I finally gave up on trying to get electric bass samples and VSTi to suffice and I bought one. Play quite passably now. Same with guitars. I have gotten much better in 20 years.

Anyways, I fired up that BIAB exactly once. Massively disorganized GUI. I simply don’t have the time budget to devote to it. I can get decently passable demos with the freebie iOS Music Memos. Good enough that I can use them when I sit down to record it better in my DAW. All parts except drums. I have settled with EZDRUMMER and get my stuff done way faster that way than if I was still sifting for styles for hours.

I can see where if it the only product used, it could be awesome for someone starting with it as their home DAW environment. Learning more than one DAW as it seems most in this thread are doing just gives me a headache.

I should not have made the everything pack purchase. But I bought it with some prize money from a company Christmas party.

If I had made that purchase of BIAB 20 years ago, I’m not sure I would have really learned as much guitar and bass as I have and my enjoyment as a musician and songwriter may have gone an entirely different way.
