BIAB will also generate harmonies if you want. i usually don't. channel 4 is the only channel set up for recording. so if you mute/solo channel 4 you can hear the generated & live parts separately. unsolicited unpaid testimonial for BIAB from dbut __________ | | dbut@omni.voicenet.com | X X | dbut@delphi.com | ______ | | U | |__________|
