I dont think its ignorant saying id rather learn how to play harmonica in the next 6 months, than learn how to use a software that makes up harmonica parts. Always wanted to play harmonica, but like most things its time consuming and where is the demand for me playing harmonica.

Touche now?

I don't believe that everything is taken care of by BIAB, but I kind of feel I have to be all of those things that you mention, so I try to do it to the best of my ability using the tools at my disposal. One day, I'll head over to Nashville and record a couple of songs properly and I'm sure the results will be far better. Also, and very importantly, I anticipate having a blast doing so. However, I can't afford to do that for many songs and BIAB helps give me an idea of which, if any, would be worth the treatment.

I actually play the harmonica LOL. For me, it isn't just a question of how well you play, but how good you are at capturing a recording. I'm not really set up to handle that part well and I'm pretty ignorant about it. One more thing to learn the technical aspects of.


A great deal is taken care of in BIAB in 2021. it is staggeringly amazing and becomes more amazing each year. Anyone who thinks not is depriving themselves of an extraordinary tool and a fun experience.

Gavin...even good headphones are not very good for listening to what a final mix will actually sound like. They are good for getting all of the parts in place, but then you need some good monitors to hear it clearly. From everything that I have read, the low end of good is the YAMAHA HS series. I got a pair of HS5s for $199 ea and love them. The best thing about them is that they are very good but not excellent and therefore more representative of a random car stereo etc.
