If you've got iOS or an Android I highly recommend it. iRealb does not have as many styles, nor as many instruments to play along, but it is very good all around and super easy to use. IRealB is very good, very affordable, sounds great, and with IOS you can play along with it using Amplitube. Here's an example of BIAB with a DAW, Cakewalk in this case. There are plug in alternatives but not nearly as complete as BIAB. There are plug in alternatives but not nearly as complete as BIAB.And BTW - BIAB is not a DAW. You'll have to front the money, but you an try realtracks and if they don't work out you can get your money back. Or if you already have a sampler you can use it. Very cool, and for a measly $20.Ĭlick to expand.Yes, you'll be missing out without realtracks, but BIAB comes with some high quality drum kits in Sampletank. I love the shaded area that moves though the measures in time, so when I get lost messing with melodic stuff, I get right back to where I'm supposed to be. I make a copy of the tune and tape it to one side of my monitor, while irealB cranks through the chords on the other side.

And from what I've heard of the newest versions, the core starter pack seems to be missing a lot of stuff. I realise I probably wont get something that can do all of the above in one package.įrom all the feedback I've seen, BIAB is a great program, feedback seems to be generally positive. Essentially I'm looking for something that can train me for rhythm in a variety of styles, do a little basic composition, and play along with covers as needed.
