There really is no substitute for intensive listening sessions and copious note taking. After you have spent time with BIAB and sifted through the various Styles and Real Tracks (which, after all, is the only way to answer your question fully) you will begin to have a sense for what will work. Since at least v. 2009.5 there is an option to "Show Styles by Feel and Tempo," which will help to narrow things down a bit.




Yes, I feel you are right. I need to spend more time getting to know what is there, that suits my needs.

Where is the option you mention to "Show Styles by Feel and Tempo" ?



In v. 2009.5 it is a button or checkbox in the lower right hand of the Stylepicker dialogue box. I haven't installed 2012.5 yet, but I doubt that it has moved.

Many of us have found it helpful to think of BIAB as an actual instrument like a piano, guitar, bass, etc. As with any instrument, you have to practice before you become proficient. While you can get the basic functions going in an evening, BIAB is what I all "deep," meaning that there are layers of complexity which increase with every new version. Only time spent using the program, exploring the many dialogues, and reading through the documentation in detail will make you aware of the powerful and subtle possibilites. (Oh, and asking questions on the forums helps, too! )
