Sorry: I'm new to the concept.
I've seen it for $99 but also (presumably) upgraded versions for a lot more.
I just want to create tracks with an acceptable tonality and to dictate the chord changes. Is BIAB what I need?
I have Windows 10 currently.
Firstly, welcome to the neighborhood.

Definitely, BIAB is a product that will deliver high-quality backing tracks based on your selected chords, music style, and instruments.
BIAB has two forms of backing music. MIDI and RealTracks. RealTracks generally provide a much more dynamic musical backing as they are actual music passages recorded on real music instruments by professional players. MIDI gives you flexibility in your arrangements also.

BIAB comes in several different packages starting of with the Pro version (which is entry level and has the least number of styles) right up to the Ultra-Pak and Audiophile versions which contain just about everything. The various packages are listed here.

This video shows some of the new features in BIAB 2024:

There are plenty of video demos at this page:

If you decide on BIAB, then my advice is to go for the highest package that your budget allows.

Hope this helps.
