Hey all,
Lately I have been doing a lot of just learning features in biab, and for fun I thought I might try for a new project to construct a James Brownish type of style\groove (have not been successful). For that I started looking into working with holds and rests and dove in and really learn how part makers work, how you can change drums in sections ect...
I got the idea to try, because a while back I was watching a movie about his life, and I remember there was a small part in it where he got mad because his band wasn't following his standing rule. He yelled each was a percussion instrument, and that each instrument whether it be guitar, horns or whatever was a part of the drums. I started to pay close attentions to the songs and yeah its that famous staccato sound he has.
So my question is is that style even possible to recreate in BIAB? that short staccato dat dat dat,dat,dat dada.....
can that be built into a measure(s) in the chord window?
(if someone knows a style like that in the style list I can learn from that as well or a demo song?)

You're probably not going to get the instruments to follow the drums unless you create your own styles. Remember, RealTracks are pre-recorded phrases, so they are what they are. MIDI styles may be more forgiving, but if you are looking for a particular groove, you may have to create that yourself. I doubt many of the styles have multiple instruments hitting the notes in unison as the drummer would be doing.
Not saying it can't be done, but I don't think it will be very easy.

You are working in the right area of Biab by using shots, holds pushes etc. The "trick" with shots are trying to find a Funk style that works with the song you are attempting to recreate.
Biab is chock-full of some great Funk/Soul Real Tracks and you should be able to get pretty close to some of his songs.
It is all in the layout. Get the shots/pushes/chords set up correctly with a great style and you should be grooving. Regenerating your song a few times should give you a few different takes. Once you get something you like, you can then freeze the track(s) so they stick.
Trax
Also, don't forget trying some of the loops as well.
