I was working on Scofield's "Groove Elation" the other day and realized that I didn't know how to enter a specific bass line in BIAB. My limited knowledge base says in BIAB the bass line is set by the style. So, anything written to that track will be erased immediately upon hitting generate and play.
What I did was enter the Groove Elation bass riff for the bass and froze the track. This worked and the bass lick was maintained; however, I lost any further bass that BIAB would have otherwise generated throughout the remainder of the song. Luckily, I was using a style with an organ that substituted well enough for the missing bass.
So, my question is simple: what is the best way to enter a specific bass line in BIAB?
Thanks for the help.
Best wishes,
Bob

Explore Realband when you want to get this much control.
It's included free with BiaB! Once i start getting 'close' with a song and starting to think about keeping certain parts, I move the file to RB where there is much more intuitive control over the tracks.
I am sure you could open that same BiaB file in RB and generate further measures of bass using the same style. Without affecting any other tracks.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Bob, you can also stay in BIAB by copying the bass part to either the Melody or Soloist track. They are not regenerated like the bass part is. You could mute (with F5) either track as needed to go between 'your' bass and the generated part.
BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus Studio 192, Presonus Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors

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.
