A bit of an open question I know as I expect people have lots of different ways of working with BIAB and DAWs.

Anyway, I am a guitarist and Sonar X3 Producer user who is looking to use BIAB as a quick way of getting ideas down which could then be used as a starting point in Sonar.

The way I see myself working is to create a decent backing track within BIAB and then export the MIDI from this to Sonar. I would almost certainly want to export MIDI drums, bass and keyboards tracks and maybe others. Once in Sonar I would then route these to high quality instruments within Sonar (Addictive drums, Sampletank 3 etc).

I would also tweak anything MIDI-wise that needed it, add my guitar parts, vocals, effects, mix it and master it for the final result. I have had a very brief go at this by using a MIDI piano part generated by BIAB in my current work-in-progress track in Sonar.

I am just curious to know what other people do and whether the above methodology will work or whether there is a better way of doing it. Maybe even learn something from you seasoned BIABers out there 8)

Thanks
Rec
