Another reason I like this is that I spend too much time searching for bass lines that don't fit the groove.

My 2 cents.

I see your point. The real issue, to me, isn't the lack of features (automation features, audio clip manipulation, editing tools, take recording, routing, etc.), but the lack of stability and standardization in BIAB compared to other specialized software when it comes to recording and working with audio.

Personally, I use Reaper, a program with many virtues, but first and foremost, a rock-solid program, ultra-efficient with system resources (the installer weighs an incredible 15 megabytes), and with a super intuitive user interface, as any DAW should be. BIAB also has many virtues (you won't find any other software that produces better quality tracks out there), but certainly, audio processing, robustness, or the user interface is not where it shines.

It’s better to use each tool for what it was designed for; that said, you have nothing to lose by trying it for yourself.
