Okay, just to be clear, I think BIAB is an absolutely AMAZING program which does what it does better than any of it's competitors (I'm not even sure it has any). Maybe I misread Donny's first post (and if I did, I apologize), but it sounded to me like a putdown of BIAB users, and I thought that was odd coming from someone who used (exclusively) various other forms of NON-LIVE backing. For me, if it ain't LIVE, it's Memorex (whatever form 'Memorex' takes).
If your objective is to create polished backing tracks, then, like Ian, I think BIAB is as good or better than any arranger...and a heck of a lot cheaper.

Chas no offense taken,....believe me if I still played KB with a groups as I did for over 25+ years, using any automatic styles, smf, mp3's, etc, etc, wouldn't exists in my music. But since the last 18 years the business has changed for the full time pro in so many ways other means to make a living had to be utilized in my world. I took it by the horns and ran with it, ....and very successfully I might add to keep the sound of MY band alive only doing it by myself using many tools to do so..
