Eddie,

I am generally averse to generalities because they almost never work out, but I think the one I am about to make will come sorta close to the truth. Maybe. I dunno.

I seems that music programs (and many other thing) are being marketing towards two basic types of people:

1.) People who like to figure things out.

2.) People who like the program to do everything so no thought is required.


It seems to me that BIAB falls into slot # 1. Sure, it makes things easier, but you still have to put some time in (just as you did on video editing) to figure things out. Work is involved. It forces you to study music to some degree whether you want to or not. And there are varying degree of input it needs from you. You can choose all real tracks, for example, or you can use a few real tracks and play the rest. But still, you have to study and learn and apply yourself to be able to use it well.

There is a SECOND class of products where people just play beats and loops or whatever and start singing the same old riffs the moment something pops into their head: "Oh baby, yeah, you know it girl, I can feel it girl, all up in inside, yeah you know I will, girl keep it real, all I need to feel, give it time to heal, like a spinning wheel..."

Hey that was awesome!


Well maybe. I ain't gonna knock it. If that is what you want to do, it's a free country.

It's just that this type of "music" makes me wants to scream out loud and I can't find the off button fast enough.

To each his own I suppose.

And again, the PG Music products open up wide vistas, but they still force you to think about what you are doing.

The video you recorded for the reunion shows that in action, and proves it, even though we were doing an educational comedy skit.
