over the last 17 years (yep) I tried to use BB (or biab, or whatever it's called these days), first on Winnie, which admittedly is a piece of crap, and now on Mac (better than the Winnie crap).
And it's all still as crap as it ever was. Buggy as hell, and requires complicated moves for even the most stupid things, for example I mucked about for 45 minutes trying to change the crap GM sound, trying everything I can think of, but mission failed: I wasn't able to change the stupid vst plugin. You would believe that the stupid program simply chooses the best GM module on your computer, DSV by Apple (whatever it's called) midi player on the Mac, or Sforzando, or whatever. But no, it justs defaults to the great sounding Quicktime midi player. The very worst.
Ah, doesn't everyone loves those 1988 Bontempi sounds?
Now, I never failed to do that on any DAWs. Simple, right? use the VST you want. Not for Biabb.
And my absolute favourite: you press SONG, and it greets you with a stupid blank list. So it tells you to 'change' the folder. But I never changed anything, so WTF it means?
Sigh.

oh I almost forgot, meanwhile Bb crashed several times. Honestly, it seems designed like junk. All the ideas are very, very good. But only in theory. In practice, it makes me want to hit my computer with a hammer. Which I actually did with my PC because it was a cheap piece of crap. I am definitely not going to do it on a Mac. Good computer.

Wow I found a user who is crabbier than me. I am personally finding BIAB incredibly fun and easy to use.
