[MusicTlk] Calling any Band in a Box for Windows users: I've got a question.

[Christopher Gilland]

Tony,


That's literally exactly what my point was in the first place. That's 
exactly what I'm trying to do. I've been in audio production and 
engineering for over 25 years. Trust me, I know concepts like this. 
Generalized worflow isn't my problem. It's just knowing how  
specifically to get BIAB to do it.


I'd rather not call their support and ask as I've kind of been bugging 
them the last day constantly with questions. They've been incredibly 
helpful, but I really feel bad, I mean, I feel like I'm taking them away 
from their other customers as much as they've sat on the phone working 
one on one with me. They've really gone out of there way! I hate to 
abuse the ability of having tech support, and I feel I'm probably 
borderlining the help they normally would provide.


Chris.
