If you restrict yourself to just using the BIAB VST plugin, most of the complexity is hidden. You literally pick a style, type in the chords, click Generate and press play within Cakewalk. If you like what you hear, you can drag the audio/MIDI tracks from the plugin on to the track view and work with them as normal clips. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just started with it yesterday. Really easy to navigate and create a backing trk quickly. Got some more digging to do. Lot's of potential. It sure is a good find. Oh, and yes it's worth the asking price for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and yes it's worth the asking price for sure! Glad you found it useful Grem 👍🏻 It was someone on the old CW forum who originally suggested it to me, and I still use it to this day as a quick and dirty alternative to BIAB. You can do a surprising amount with it. These videos are worth a look if you want an initial look and then to dig deeper. The same guy also does some JJazzLab (ALC's suggestion) reviews on his channel which is worth mentioning again as it can make use of the huge number of Yamaha style files and even has some built-in.
