As in: "I just want to record my song!! Where is the big green button!!"

A lot of the manual wording choices and even videos are made for techies and are written in techie speak and move really fast in places.

The very best songwriters I have ever met really struggle with technology at times.

I struggled with some aspects of BIAB as a newbie in 2014 myself and people at PG and many on this forum helped me a lot.

When I finally figured it all out, I realized there were only about 10 things I really needed to master, and after that I was off to the races.

I have tried many times to return to the favor with people who helped me with technology, by helping them with the more ephemeral aspects of their songs. And it worked. So, all of us have areas where we are stronger, I guess.

Im definitely not in the 'highly creative' category but eo much of the above applies to me.
I still use an old, old DAW that has the equivalent of the Big Green Button. Its biggest drawback is to have to render the tracks in BB to 16bit 44100 and then load them into the DAW one by one. I'll live with it.
So much modern software has vast amounts of Tech for those who are Technonymphomanics (never satisfied) that its got in the way of making Music.
Sometimes I wish I could have my BB2019 back but with ALL the RTs, Extra packs etc up to present. Ah well.
But, like you I've found that I dont need 90% of BBs 'Tech' so the 10% that I know how to use successfully can be shared on our excellent Forum,who always put up with my often dumb questions.
