I am wondering if there is a way for BIAB to generate stylistically correct endings? I primarily use the program to practice Jazz standards but when I get to the ending, it just kind of stops or is not the type of ending I would expect to go with the style. Is there a way to generate a variety of stylistically accurate endings?
Thank you for the reply, that is good to know. Is there any way to create specific endings?
If you are using MIDI tracks (yellow or blue in the mixer) you could edit the individual notes/rhythms in the notation window or pianoroll. But the RealTracks are automatically generated only and follow whatever settings you have in the Chords view.
I mostly use the Tag option to create endings. This allows me as many bars as I need to get what I want.
But you do have to know what kind of ending your are looking for
For example. Sometimes I will take one more lap of the head in the Tag and reduce the players in the combo. This allows a sparser group to restate the melody before the end. Then I may hold the 1 chord at the end with all the players back in to give a nice big end. Or I may repeat a 2-5-1 at the end 2 or 3 times then hold the last 1. Again you can start with fewer players and add them back in each round. You can do it in biab but ultimately its much more flexible to do in your DAW.
Make use of shots and holds. They are especially effective for the last bar.
I'm no expert but its relatively easy to learn and helps provide some variety.

Absolutely!
First... go to edit and unfold the song to one linear chorus. That gets rid of the 3 repeats by default and puts it into a start to finish format.
Next.... shut off the canned endings
or....
Simply add a bunch of bars (measures) to the end of the song before the BB ending. Now... simply roll your own ending. Put the chords, holds, unique things into that added area to make the ending YOU want it to do.
I use this a lot in my songs. If you can imagine it.... and know how to use this program, there's almost nothing that is impossible to accomplish.
finally.... do your mixing in the DAW of your choice.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
