I'm a former user of BIAB from back even before RealDrums. I had a great time with my old version, but fell out of music-making for a while. I have just splashed some money north to get a copy of the Audiophile version. I'm really excited to get my fingers on the newest version of this great tool.

I used BIAB mostly in song-writing and composition and worked it pretty hard to get as creative as possible. Since it was all midi, I usually used the midi files run through an outboard rack-mounted synth to put tracks in my DAW. But sometimes I rendered the midi (seperate tracks) to .wav to load them in the DAW for further processing.

Just thought I'd share the first successful creation. I'm sorry, but I can't remember what style I used...something like JTaylor Latin. These tracks were rendered/beefed-up midi tracks.

This one was started as a total goof experiment with BIAB functions and turned into something very unexpected. I "created" this user style from another midi found on the internet and entered the chords. This (pretty much) came out. Here, I used the midi-tracks through my synth to the DAW. I didn't use every scrap that BIAB produced, but I added nothing.

I haven't gotten the hard-drive yet, but already I'm near quivering with excitement.

I am sure I'm going to love the real tracks, but I hope PGMusic never leaves Midi in the dust as BIAB continues to develop.

Can anybody answer whether or not these new versions work well as DAW's?

I'm looking forward to the community here as well.
