-- they audition tracks over and over again to get the best pieces,
-- they cut and paste samples to make things sound the way they want,
-- they add midi if they have good samplers
-- they add live parts to make it more "real"
... and so on.

No one that I have run into just gets a one shot BIAB output and uses that (except for practice or jamming). And when you use BIAB in that manner, you are just doing the same thing the samplers do. One guy manually edits all the realdrum tracks to make them more varied and "real". The quality of output is determined by the skills and patience of the user.

P.S. I am not trying to argue here or defend BIAB -- it is just that someone who is thinking about buying BIAB might see your remarks and think that you may be right (ha, ha).



This is fair enough. I suspect this is the reason the zealots from the forum fight it, they are somehow protecting the company.

But damn, every product in the world his it's proclaimers and detractors.

I dont see people attacking somebody online for saying they think any product is not good as much as band in the box people.

it's almost as if they have stock in the product.

I doubt anybody would make a decision base don my words, if anything, they would base it on what they hear. if they are novices and mainly write lyrics, they will think it's fantastic.

if they are pro studio owners who do demos for a living, they will think it's a toy.

it's all perspective and what works for YOU.

Im just giving my opinion of it. Love it as a all around tool but got tired of recording with it.
