Steve BIAB is just another tool in the arsenal of music producers. What we use or choose not to use is down to availability, our musical and technical ability, experience, budget, personal preference and of course our own comfort zone.
The end product is all that matters. I know from personal experience tht nowadays there are shortcuts and easier ways of doing things that were not available even a few years ago. We should use them to our advantage....WHY.....cause everyone else does and we don't want to get left behind in the past with obsolete technology.
