My personal take is that it's no different than hiring a studio musician and I have several songs which utilize BIAB.
just my 2 cents.
others will disagree. cest le' vie.
I sure don't mind being the one to disagree with that.
I can't imagine anybody that has ever played for any length of time with live musicians
not being able to know the differences.
The day a machine can replace what a live guitarist can bring to the game....game over for me...I'll
take up evaluating whiskey. :) ( not to mention all the other instruments....and beverages :)
Actually, I didn't state anything about the quality of the track from BIAB vs a studio musican's track. I was merely speaking from the perspective of whether it's "cheating" to use BIAB tracks in a recording or not.
I completely agree with you that you will get a better quality sound from a hired studio musican, but that was not what I was saying.
I took it exactly as written. I wasn't talking about sound quality either.
If you meant something else.....nevermind.
I probably should drop it. I just feel like I'm not communicating correctly.
I didn't say anything about "sound" quality either. you had said that a "real musician" would be able to tell the difference.
I agree with that because that's not what I was saying.
I said there's not a difference between me hiring a studio musician and me using a program to make backing tracks
from the perspective of "cheating." I did not say that a "real musician" would not be able to tell the difference in a BIAB track vs. a Studio Musician track.
As with anything the difference between a real studio musician and a BIAB track is going to be the difference in what you pay for each. the quality of the studio musician's track is, of course, going to be much better than the quality of the BIAB track because the studio musician is going to have real definition to his playing where the BIAB track is just pasted together loops of a musician playing.
now, I'll also say that I don't think you are going to be able to get away with submitting a song with BIAB tracks on it for a producer or publishing agent to promote. they won't accept it that way. they'll want to hire the real musicians and "do it right" for the real recording to be promoted.
can you get away with it for a demo? maybe. depends on a lot of things. but it won't stay that way for a true release from a producer or record label. it will be done with real studio musicians before they'll release it.
but if it's just for demo or for your own etification of releasing a song you've done...Micheal said that well also - "who cares what others' think"? just have fun with it.
