I have to disagree Audio, or at least say I am confused. I don't think BIAB was ever designed to make anything "out of the Box." It gives you tracks to work with, but you have to do something with them, like any producer. You don't just have a bunch of guys (or ladies) play some parts and then say: "That's it y'all. We're done. We can press our record now."

NO--what you start doing now is the hard part, mixing and mastering.

What Henry does is phenomenal, I agree on that part, but I work in genres of pop, house, rock and even alt-country where I think the stuff I am doing will stand up to anything coming out of a studio. The new stuff in recent editions of BIAB IS the next level.

I think I have proved it numerous times.

SO, I can get some fabulous tracks from BIAB, which has many other neat COMPOSING and EDUCATION tools, but mixing and mastering is not its forte.

For that you need a DAW, pure and simple.

All I can say about the quality of BIAB though--as TRACKS--is this:

If you say you can't use BIAB tracks to create a professional sounding recording (or full length album for that matter) you had to have been hit on the head with a pipe at some point.

There ARE pros on this forum doing just that, but they won't tell you who they are and they are reading all of this.

And laughing their heads off I am sure.

BIAB is the professional producer's best kept secret and everyone knows it.

The only people who keep talking of "limitations" and such are the same people who simply cannot write a song to save their lives.

A real songwriter will write a hit song on a cardboard box if there is nothing else available.
