The fat guy in the red suit came good with some folding stuff and I had been mulling over this software for some time and decided to lash out, does mean the next kit goes on hold until the bank builds again but hey ho.
I got BiaB Pro which is $129 USD plus a bonus package knocked down to $49 USD until midnight tomorrow night US so about $240 AUD. ( a single purchase provides licences for 3 PCs, so two for me and one for my computer semi literate bandmate )
I'm seeing it as a great composing aid, I can throw ideas together and get it out in minutes to my lyricist / singer mates to be worked on.
So much easier than setting up the DAW, putting down the drum / bass / rhythm / keys tracks and rendering it down and if the proposed stuff gets up I can import individual tracks into the DAW to create the project and rerecord the bits I want to play.
Installation is easy but takes ages to install the 13 individual packages that my purchase included but very worthwhile.
Finished install at 10pm on Wednesday night and had knocked out two completely different demos of a new song by midnight, one is straight country with steel guitar and the other is soft rock with Hammond B3 / Leslie.
The instruments are all played by renowned session guys, the country guitarist is Brent Mason who has been 1st call in Nashville for over 10 years. ( YT is your friend if you are curious ).
Happy as a dog with two tails
