Yesterday, just so I knew, I kept track. I looked at (get ready for it) 87 styles before I found one I liked.



FWIW, that very thing fundamentally changed my approach to and usage of BIAB. My experience was similar to that point. I couldn't keep an idea in my head after listening to all those variations, so I cheated. I gave up.

Note that I work primarily in MIDI with original compositions. I understand that my approach probably won't work with covers unless you intend to do highly original arrangements.

I may go in with an initial idea now, but I listen to BIAB as if it is making suggestions--which it is. It's that expert system thing. If there is a positive side to all this, and for me there is, it is that I end up with music that I never imagined of in the first place. Click on the link below for examples.

Works for me.
