Surly, you don't mean BIAB is hopeless. outdated, or a lost cause eh? LOL... Because this diehard here won't play his guitar unless BIAB is playing along.... LOL!
Absolutely not, I can't play without BIAB either.
I think the adjective is correct.
Die Hard
–adjective
2. resisting vigorously and stubbornly to the last; stubborn.
Thanks, I sit corrected.
Wayne,

Me too John, but it's a verb.
Reckon
Verb:
To count or compute: reckon the cost. To calculate.
I don't reckon our chances of success are good. At reckoning how many.
But we BIAB users are people to be be reckoned with. (to be reckoned with of considerable importance or influence)
Wayne,
P.S. That took me awhile. I didn't know Reckon had a "K" in it.

If it wasn't for a chance "meeting" in a music shop with BIAB some ten years ago, my days of playing music would be long gone. Now I have a reason to play, other "musicians" to play with, and I think my playing is now as good or even better than it ever was. BIAB has also helped me to learn to read sheet music again, something I lost many years ago.
To Peter, and everyone else who had a hand in developing Band In A Box, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing music back to me, and for bringing me back to music.

well said, Keith.. I would guess your words ring true for many of us.
It's one thing to market a product that is USEFUL to many.. but the idea of marketing a product that adds fulfillment and joy to people's lives.. (and I've seen that stated here on the forum many times) ... that's just amazing to me. PGMusic should feel very good about the value they add to the lives of their customers.

Though I have a nice little studio set up here (8 track)I had lost interest in songwriting.Since coming across BIAB by accident Im back in the grove again.It doesnt mean I will now get covers for my songs(Ive had a couple in the past)but the odds are much better that I will..not only that, I can now listen to my songs being played by pro musicians and its great.Frankie

Not quite that long for me. I never owned that drive.
Still have the smaller floppies around though!
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Make your sound your own!
