A is about quality and is easy replicable in a number of ways so there's nothing unique about studio recorded audio. Studio recorded audio's draw for users to BIAB is the vast quantity and variety of instruments and audio.

B is singular to how the software manipulates midi and audio, and that in turn makes BIAB so loved and at the same time, so frustrating to many. The program's complexity and difficulty is what makes it unique. That complexity and difficulty is why there's such focus to getting tracks and projects out of BIAB and into a DAW where editing, comping and manipulating tracks is easier and more familiar to many users. It's why PG Music over the years has had to focus so much on DAW integration rather than internal upgrades. The complexity and difficulty is why there's such demand in the forum to make BIAB more like a DAW. Many comments in this thread focus on making the program easier (less difficult and frustrating) and having to export to a DAW (less complex).
