Hmm,

The old argument of samples.

I've never used BIAB, but it has a nice clean sound. And it's job ?...... simply to format and get a groove happening for a song.

If you're a musician, then it's a great musicians tool to write WITH, not in place of natural instrumentation.... that comes later if you feel the song has legs.

I use Sony acidized samples a fair bit, especially for strummed acoustic guitar parts. Why ? Because when you just want simple strummed guitar, it's perfectly in time, sounds crystal clear, and can be easily pitch shifted. And it saves OODLES of time in setting up mics and doing multiple takes. Same with sampled drums ( 8 track ) , where you can manipulate each drum mic , and save yourself the bother of hiring a drummer where maybe your song is not ready for that yet.

So IMO, BIAB is a great tool, and certainly one which in creative hands of a musician, can sound exceptional, if the whole concept of the song is good to begin with.

PS - does BIAB have the capacity for overdubbed MIDI tracks and VST's ?
