I agree with what most of what you said, it's just if im going to use protools and all the OTHER stuff,
then why do I need BIAB. We're talking about BIAB, we're on a BIAB forum. We're hear to talk specifically about BIAB.

as for commenting on vocals etc, Im not going to hammer somebody completely by saying that not only do the tracks sound bad but so do the vocals. lol. Ill try to find a positive to comment on.

Bad singing certainly makes the track unlistenable at times.

but telling somebody their tracks are AWESOME, WOW THAT'S SOUNDS GREAT, is a disservice.

And I disagree with most people cant tell the difference. I doubt u'd see some kid going to a music store trying to find tablature for a BIAB guitar part that was used in somebody's recording.

But they would seek out tabs for a real guitar players work.

I think it depends on what style music you're doing.

But for people writing their own songs, my advice would be to use all real tracks, or only use top notch midi sounds.
