This section is officially one year old now 
In the last year, I've seen nothing but respectful, helpful and fun post.
No bad mouthing, name calling, etc. that goes on in some of the other sections. Even the (very few) disagreements have been very respectful and handled in a mature fashion.
I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to all who participate here. You've made my job a "piece of cake" 
David

It's a well known fact that people that use BIAB are nicer than those that don't...  |

I think Band In A Box is the best thing since Post Toasties.

I agree. BIAB has been great for me, and a lot of others. The only negative is that I think it's really hurting business for the people that sell backing tracks, but it's helping lots more. Kind of like Henry Ford hurting the horse and buggy guys. The comparison is obvious. A studio produced backing track is locked into one key, one tempo, one musicial style, and one arrangement. A BIAB track can be changed with a few mouse clicks. That's a dramatic advantage for me.
Making good tracks with BIAB requires some knowledge and expertise. It's not for everyone. Those that are not on the level to produce tracks that suit their ears, should either study to improve their BIAB skills (this section is a good place to do that), or just stick to regular backing tracks, with their limitations.
People that have my Band In A Box Made Easy DVD, tell me that they are producing tracks that are very satisfying to them and their listeners. I've heard some of them and I agree with their success. We only scratched the surface in this first DVD, there's a lot more that can be done, but those skills come with practice and experience, no different than learning to play an instrument, knock a golf ball around, etc...
I won't debate the quality of BIAB vs. live musicians, because it depends on the skill of either group. I will say that to be able to work at my convenience, change my mind in the middle of an arrangement, stop when I get tired and pick up where I left off, plus spending only a fraction of the money.... my choice is BIAB.
This section is a huge help to us. Thanks to David for suggesting it and for keeping in on such a professional and friendly level. It's a great resource for those that want to expand their BIAB knowledge. My thanks to all involved. Let's make the next year another good one.
