Now I have never had BiaB generate an entire song that I liked but I always get a phrase or two that I can rework into an entire song. You might want to give it a try. Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry. Me-I'm not John Doc-I know, I am! 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
