How did you get introduced to BIAB?

A friend had it and as I was looking into starting up as a 'One Man Band' it seemed to fit the bill for backings

What year/version was it?

Must have been Version 1.0 for DOS in 1988/89. Came on a 360kb floppy. In fact I've still got it somewhere but it won't run on quad-cores and the like as it needed the Roland MPU 401 ISA card and breakout box.

What kind of computer did you have at the time?

I had an IBM PC clone at the time with two 1,2Mb floppies and a 30Mb hard disk. A Roland MPU 401 sufficed for midi control.

was it a successful experience right away??

I would have to say yes. In those early days you only got Drums and bass, but it was better than nothing.

Have you changed your gear to accommodate BIAB in any way?

Not especially for BIAB. Upgrades came to support other software with more extensive power needs.

Has BIAB influenced how/why you play music?

Not at all. As BIAB has grown it now does more of what I wished for years ago!

have you used it mostly for practice, performance, recording, instruction, other?

All of those.

any other observations not listed here?

BIAB is one of the most invaluable programs I own. I upgrade every time there is a new version - couldn't be with out it.
