Does anyone have experience of using this software,,,,,,,,,,and if so ,,,,,,do you use in conjunction with a BR recorder.

I use BIAB since the DOS years, but only in the more recent years, with the exclusive "Real Tracks" feature, is the "gold standard" in the auto-accompaniment category.

And, yes, I use it in 70-80 % of my recordings (you may give a listen on this site). I play (not so well ) guitar, and so, if I need piano-bass-drums and so on, BIAB is absolutely perfect for me.

A friend uses it with great results. I haven't but have been intrigued by it. Just too broke to worry about it this year.

Maxit also uses it on some of his tracks. https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=19765.0 this track of his was done with BIAB.

Thanks for listening, Bazz!

If I can give you an advice, if you're planning to buy it (I always bought BIAB online directly from PGMusic, the maker of BIAB, so much cheaper than buying it at local retailers here in Italy), you should wait for the beginning of December: that is the time, every year, for the new version of the software, and since this year, for the first time there's not been a summer .5 version (I mean, no 2013.5 this year, while there were 2010.5, 2011.5 and so on), the many aficionados of this great software (me included) have great expectations for the next weeks.
