So would I (ha, ha). The only thing a non-music person could do is to load in the song demos and write lyrics to that. While that could be fun and there are tons of demo songs in there -- how could they do any more than that?

I wish I was better at midi and, of course, had all the great (and expensive) samples that makes midi sound about as good as "real". If you had that, you could construct songs that followed exactly what was in your head. I use a lot of "real tracks", so my original songs are sometimes forced down a semi-fixed path. It is the way it goes, I guess.

I have acoustic and electric guitars, a bass, banjo, uke, fiddle, keyboards and percussion stuff. I guess I could do everything myself -- and I do that sometimes. Most of the time BIAB lets me come pretty close to what I want, probably even beter than if I tried to do everything myself!
