Hi Guys,
apparently BIAB 2012 has just been released.

Just about to order mine. One wouldn't have thought features could get much better, but they have.

http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.new.htm#featurelist

Anyway, I'm going to be very busy downloading. haahaa

That is one COOL program, Rikki.

I remember the very 1st version of BIAB; we had it installed in one of our computers way back when I was working in Newfoundland in late 80's/early 90's. Apparently the program was invented by a dentist who was also a musician/computer buff.

We thought it was pretty spiffy back then...it is unbelievable now.

My only wish would be "live" play arranger capability.

You will be having fun, fun, fun.

Ian

Seriously, it is an awesome place to live...I was there in St John's for roughly 10 years...musically saturated with genres of every kind from traditional Newfie to Jazz and modern Dance.

Weather is awful, but the class of people make up for it.

I look forward to every trip to "The Rock".

Hi Ian,
yeh, I had it too when it first came out. On my Atari 1040 if I remember correctly. Unfortunately I doubt the realtime function will ever happen, but , who can predict. What is achievable now, couldn't have been imagined 20 years ago.

I'm just happy playing along to a song or mp3. The styles are so different to what's on my korg. Even though the korg does a great job on "guitar mode" styles, to me still doesn't sound as good as an audio track of a real guitar strumming away.

I think BIAB & my Korg compliment each other nicely. Great to hear from you again Ian.

So funny ... that made me smile

Hi 124

very clever indeed, haahaa

Hi Rikki,

Newfie jokes are big here in Canada. And, as Ian said, Newfies have great self-deprecating humour themselves, and shoulders broad enough to enjoy jokes about themselves. There's more than a few of them out west here. They're a fun bunch.
