Do a search on the forum for BIAB. You'll find a wealth of information that has already been printed.

BIAB is a great program for making rhythm tracks. It has a feature to play along, write out the sheet music, convert the chords to the number system notation and much more.

One cut on my CD, Sleepwalk, was done using a BIAB track for the accompaniment (except bass).

There is an MP3 sample of Sleepwalk at my web site http://home.earthlink.net/~jestoner/cd.htm

Just downloaded BIAB 10 megapack. Wow. At pgmusic.com, they are running a special thru Dec 31 for upgrading to ver 10 with a bunch of goodies thrown in. I couldn't take a chance on santa missing this deal so I had to get it myself. This will keep one busy for some time to come just sorting through all the cool stuff.

If you use the computer to make music or songs to practice along with, this is the ticket.

Thanks Ken for that review. I was considering adding the 10 version, but hoped I could read a good review first.
