Btw, this notion of its just a tool,
It's a tool that at its very best sounds like cheesy elevator music.
Ask Mac or Johnny or mark or sub if they think band in a box is a tool to record professional track with.
A 39 dollar Casio with built in drum machine was a tool too, I don't think they made too many hit records using one
Ive been in the studio with two of the people you have mentioned so Ill chime in. Is band in a box is a tool to record professional track with? Professional/radio ready No!, Demo yes. BIAB helps those who dont have the money, talent or resources sound much better. Like any other computer program garbage in gives you garbage out or elevator music as you call it. BIAB in the hands of a skilled musician will give you results that are fantastic. Mix in some well played live instruments and it becomes pretty gosh darn good. Oh and it wasnt a 39 dollar Casio, but Gary Wright made an entire album using a keyboard. Same principal.
