I normally use BIAB to create backing tracks for cover songs, which can't be posted to the user showcase. But some way to trade cover song info has been requested in the past, so there's a niche there that isn't being filled.


I considered taking my completed trax and changing the melody and stripping out the signature licks and posting it as a new song to the showcase, with a link to the SGU file and note that by muting the melody, the real tracks and song structure would work for (insert cover song name here)

I think that would avoid any legal problems if the signature licks and melody and lyrics were omitted.. but it would also provide a basis for sharing a large part of the work that went into finding all the right elements for cover songs.

Having said that, the Yahoo BIAB group has a huge collection of cover songs in their file archive... and in recent years, more of them contain real tracks styles. That would probably be the best place to start looking.
