You have got a good handle on it.

If you want:

the bass player to vamp a specific pattern, or,
the guitarist to play a first inversion on that bar with E in the Bass rather than a C note, and then do that cool James Brown chaka-chaka rhythm,

or you simply need the dummer to do a "da da da doe da da" coming out of the chorus and for god sakes why won't the horn players play in unison when you want them to.

Then you need your own band.

On the other hand, if you can settle for "..hey that sounds cool, I can work with that" and you are creative in arranging and editing in a DAW then BIAB may be the tool for you.

Good Luck
