i started using BIAB on floppies. at the time when i went into a famous london store that dealt with digital music prodfuction, BIAB was the only product they had that produced complete backing tracks. cubase, cakewalk etc were around but nothing like BIAB.

those of us that wanted to produce music were the exception rather than the rule. now every teenager wants to produce music in their bedroom like their idols.

totally different market with diffent outlook and tastes.

BIAB purchasers originally come from the musician market........now many software purchasers come from the fan market. and their musical tastes maybe don't include jazz and country. or celtic. or folk. but to call that "old folks" styles may have a grain of truth but doesn't define BIAB's market.

and i agree with Rob Helms that if people looked in greater detail they'd appreciate BIAB. but it does take work and effort. but if it was any easier it would be less capable.

BIAB and RB are great and limitless. the BIAB interface is crowded and the learning curve is steep. but as a friend of mine used to say 'if this is the sort of thing you like you'll like this sort of thing'.
