You are a wonderful ambassador for PGMusic and I think you are a huge blessing to people who love music and are willing to give BIAB a try. You're giving the gift to someone of "I can do that" confidence factor. Advanced users will likely know or quickly figure out to not delete all those unused tracks away and combine midi and RealTracks into very high quality and authentic backing tracks. Beginners will also learn that as they become more experienced and confident. Thanks for the nod here and in your blog post but you did the leg work and I think a lot of folks will benefit from your blog.

This way is simplier and less time consuming. Thanks Hugh

I can't imagine how you keep coming up with such good topics month-after-month-after-month. I was not aware of the Floyd Jane interview. Great interview and responses. Making backing tracks is a subject everyone seems to find interesting, especially this crowd!
