I owned BIAB MANY years ago, before real tracks even. I got rid of it shortly after, i was never able to get good recordings, arrangements, i used to own tascam casette recorder, but at the end of the day, you still ended up with slightly better than live in your basement recordings. Im still rarely happy with my recordings, that may change as Im getting better with the tech.

But Gavins assumption is correct, those samples that are recorded, I believe many are recorded with a mic, in front of an amp, talking guitars anyway, so you are getting the room it was recorded in, along with anything you do, to it after it.

I found with toontracks stuff, that the settings that come as default are really really good to use as is. That's cause they know you are using it for recording, and know that many dont have the expertise to know ie, how loud the kick drum should be, how much verb the snare has, compression effects etc, i rarely fiddle with the settings, cause they know more than I do. They also have a really cool effect, where you can roll off the room. If you slide it to the left, less room actually all the way there is none. all the way to right your in the grand canyon.

But I rarely mess with the settings cause they are so good.

BIAB, i dont believe has the ability to roll off the room, and I do believe the room sound you are stuck with. It may have a dry setting where you take everything off it, and then add your own effects.

But if your not an engineer, stick with what they provide you.
