Any of the 7 tracks will accept any instrument not necessarily for the one it's named for.

The basic track set up for the instruments are bass, piano,rhythm guitar, drums, strings, melody and solo. If you want to create your own rhythm section that too is an easy task. Lets say you want a rhythm section for your practice session, You can pick out a style that is preset for drums, bass, guitar, keys and or strings. There are literally hundreds of different styles and instruments that make up the real tracks. Real tracks and real drums are exactly that, they have studio musicians create 64 bar recordings in various key signatures and the program slices and dices phrases created to fit into the chord progression you create. The last time I was at PG Music site (creator of BB) the real tracks and real drums files went beyond 80gigs. Back then they didn't have the Real Tracks and Real Drums like they do these days and I simply practiced to the midi it was known for. I created scales and then had bb re-harmonize the notes and create chords for them.

Back in the late 2005 when I decided to learn the guitar, I used biab a.k.a bb to expedite my learning. If you want to use it as a learning tool, it's one of the best I've seen. If you are a single act or a duo looking for some backing tracks for your gigs, it can do that. If you want to create some backing tracks like I did for my guitar solos, which are on the player above, and want to keep them in a pop format, then yes, go for it.

If you are looking to do something complex musically with it, it's not for you. I learned the program inside out, learned the positives and the negatives of it. Not too long ago I deleted a blog I created called " BIAB Under Glass" and the number one question was, is it really worth all that money to plop down for what seems to be a mediocre program for kids? Well, it all depends on what you want it to do and how well you know the program.
