With an UltraPak version of. BIAB and just about any major brand of DAW you can create professional level, performance quality backing tracks. If you wish to record an album (excuse my age) using nothing but You and your instrument and a kickass backing band in a million (maybe more) genre’s you can.

With only a decent DAW and BIAB. I use Logic so I don’t even use DAW mastering plug ins anymore.

Think about what you’re trying to do and we can help dial it in a little for you.

I too have paid a lot of $$$ to Native instruments for sound libraries. Do I use them??
ALMOST NEVER !!!
Truth is the Real Tracks included with BIAB get most of my backing track work so I rarely use midi any more. I realize midi gives you utmost control over every nanosecond of every track. Truth is, I don’t need that. I want my bass player to outline the chords and the drummer to keep it all honest. A few other instruments and I’m done. If I have Ron Carter playing an upright over a set of changes, my bass player is probably not the problem…. Ron’s right there, tuned up and ready to go, whenever I think he fits the bill.

That’s me. Others do other things. It’s because they are others. They have not yet learned my way is the path to total musical and spiritual enlightenment.
Yea, hardly.

I’m sure if you outline some of your objectives you’ll get straight answers on how to do what you’re after. BIAB is a complex pile of code. It does many things for many people.
In many ways.
But never at the same time or Location…. Heisenberg.
