The real key to using BiaB as you wish is to make sure you get as many Style files as you possibly can.

The Mega and Ultra PAKs would be the way to go here, if you can afford it, get ALL the styles at once, which represents a huge savings over trying to purchase them piecemeal. Even if you may not think you will want to ever PLAY a certain genre, it is the case where sometimes using a Style file from a different genre from the one you may think that your targeted song is in will work out quite well. For example, some of the Country styles may just work in a song like Hot Rod Lincoln or the like.

Also, adding the good styles that Bob "Notes" Norton has for sale on his site can be a very usefull thing to do. Often, he has created styles that target specified songs -- and do the job very well IMHO.

The most important part of the process is YOU -- and the way in which you address the use of BiaB.

The Learning Curve.

BiaB is very much like learning a new musical instrument.

Just as we cannot play the guitar like a seasoned pro on the first day we buy one for the first time. No, we have to practice the use, care and feeding of the guitar, learn a few new things, repeat things daily until the muscle memory kicks in, etc. etc. -- BiaB at least does not require us to develop callouses on the fingers.

It does sometimes require that we develop a few new callouses on the brain, though.

The best way I know to get started is to get started. Jump in and try things. Load a lot of the included Demo Songs and watch BiaB work as things play back and the various commands go by.
