When I started using BIAB someone wisely suggested that until I feel comfortable with the program, I don't try and use loops and repeats, but simply record my compositions as one long piece of music, copying and pasting all the sections.
But there is at least one problem with that scenario - BIAB puts in different arrangements for each verse/chorus. Sometimes this can be interesting, but often it's quite annoying.
Could someone please provide me with an overview of how I set up a song (in terms of what to set for the song and how to construct it)?
Can we please take as an example a song that has:
1. An intro including an auto start
2. A verse
3. A slightly different verse
4. A chorus
5. The original verse repeated
6. A bridge
7. The chorus repeated
8. An outtro including an auto-ending
Once I have a model to work on, I ought to be able to apply it to other situations.
My added problem is that I'm not musically trained, so although I know how the double dots indicate a repeated section and that you can then send the player al coda to another point in the sequence, I'm not familiar with other musical terminology - so please make it simple.
If someone can help with this, it would be a good masterclass for other users!
Thanks
Phil
