Hi RC:

I don't use BIAB but I sometimes hire a demo singer/producer who employs it with other tricks of the trade to create demos of my original songs for me to use in "pitching" them to publishers, artists, labels, etc.

He squeezes so many things from that "package" to enhance his work and make the songs sound as though they had come from a big name studio... and naturally, his vocals add a great deal to the package, mixing in some great harmonies from other software or firmware compatible with BIAB.

Good luck with whatever version you choose... and yes, I'm told there is a pretty steep learning curve... but it can be worth it if you have the drive and patience to master it.

Then of course, Arranger KB's are becoming so sophisticated, you may want to "stay the course" and consider an arranger. Most will tell you the chord you are playing, etc.

Good luck, no matter your choice.
