Does anyone have any other ideas for sight reading bass practice in BIAB? I am not a complete beginner. I am looking for fun and not too easy, not too difficult. Edit: I guess what I am really asking for is a stash of BIAB files that will help me practice bass reading (double bass; bass guitar). Last edited by HopelessRomantic; 03/20/23 05:53 AM.

Don't worry, at that level, most of the players aren't much better than you—perhaps they're worse. It worked for me back in 1968. Bass was 50% of my music income till my stroke forced my retirement in 2009.

Edit: I guess what I am really asking for is a stash of BIAB files that will help me practice bass reading (double bass; bass guitar). I am assuming you are using the notation part of BiaB, right? If not then that is the place to start. Using MIDI styles or RealTrack styles that have MIDI charts are ideal for practicing. Choose styles that you are not accustom and follow the bass notation. Change speed to slowly add the amount of difficulty. My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
