How did you get introduced to BIAB?
I started recording years ago with a Cassette based 4 track from Clarion, then bought a floppy disk version of Cakewalk home studio. It was a lot of work just to get a couple tracks down right. I bought an early version of Cakewalk Music creator 1.0 , and also N-Trackstudio. Cakewalk seemed to struggle with my built in sound card, and N-Ttrack crashed my system constantly. I stumbled on BiaB on the internet while searching for DAW programs that did not cost a bunch, it was more than i wanted to spend at the time. I registered over at Audiominds and I kept hearing mac talk about Powertracks, and BiaB, so I looked it up again. I ended up buying PT version 10, but really did not use it much, even though it was stable, it did not have VSTi support yet. So i struggled onward with a new version of cakewalk MC 2003. One day i bought BiaB on a whim, and at first did not use it much, but really did like it. I just did not understand it fully.
What year/version was it?
I originally bought version 2007
What kind of computer did you have at the time?
A home built PC I still use it today, it has been a workhorse! The biggest upgrade came in a M-Audio card 24/96 delta from guitar center. was it a successful experience right away??
Not really, i did not like the basic GM sounds, and adding a number of synths was not a part of it. But when i finally got a DAW working flawlessly i began to see the advantage using of BiaB as a creation tool to feed that DAW.
Have you changed your gear to accommodate BIAB in any way?
No not really. I have really began to use RB more these days, but BiaB remains a valuable tool.
Has BIAB influenced how/why you play music?
When i started it was to make original songs and also to redo a few covers for my enjoyment, But now i am making full sets of music and playing for others, something i did not think i would ever really do again since my youth. I could do that without RB, and BiaB, but they make it simple and easy. Something very valuable as Pat said above, with life's time restraints.
have you used it mostly for practice, performance, recording, instruction, other?
All the above, BiaB, and therefore RB as well are invaluable to me, and I thank PG for continuing to supply a tool that so many love. I have suggested it to a few online music friends, and now they own and use it.
any other observations not listed here?
I want to thank the folks again at PG, for the great programs, but also the people here on the forum. You guys and Gals are really very decent, kind and helpful folks. It is nice to come to a place where you can help, and be helped without a hassle. Rharv, Pat Marr, Silvertones, Macster, John Conley, Matt, Noel, and on and on with the solid people. Thanks again, and Keep it up! I gotta say especially a big thanks to Mac, i almost gave up on this process, but he has helped me beyond words, both in his technical knowledge, and his big hearted desire to help you solve a problem, but mostly for just good solid advice that points you in the right direction. PT, RB, BiaB, and MTS are my softwares of choice, and everyone of them were a Mac suggestion at some point. Finding the right tools took the fight out of the process, and put the joy back in. Thanks friend, Rob
