I don't think you should be monitoring using headphone output of the 2020.

The Audio output of the 2020 should be routed to a Line Input of the soundcard and any monitoring, headphone or otherwise, should be taken from the soundcard's output, otherwise the latency settings and corresponding methods of lining everything up properly that must take place within the BB software can't be heard.

That, and if you use any RealTracks, they will be directed to the same soundcard output.

OK, I'll make another recording and save it, then take the XV AUDIO output and go into my PC MIC input as specified in BIAB AUDIO IN (I don't have LINE IN, it's an onboard sound card), set BIAB AUDIO OUT to use some GM synths and try monitoring both the track and BIAB song playback from the PC soundcard instead of the XV.

I think you will find that you have to monitor via the PC output when recording the track, too.

I've never tried what you are attempting, but hey.

WOO-HOO!!! Definitive answer for this particular scenario is - do all monitoring from the XV headphone out. There was a MIDI driver latency setting that was leftover from some other device config, I set it to zero and now everything is GREAT! I set BIAB to use Roland XV-2020 IN and OUT connected via the USB cable only (no 3rd party MIDI/USB adapter), and play a BIAB song that I've input chords for and hear it from the XV's sound processor, along with my EWI MIDI IN to the XV (recorded as Melody track using a patch selected in BIAB) in perfect sync. I then stop recording and play it back, hear it all perfectly in sync, and can generate a lead sheet showing the chords and the melody that I just created in perfect notation. This is what I was trying to do using Finale Songwriter, but the MIDI input notation was horrible. You get so much more with BIAB!!! ...if you can figure out how to use it all.

The crazy thing about all of this is that there are so many different pieces of equipment, drivers, configuration settings, and ways of doing things in BIAB (lots of nerd knobs on this puppy) that you could probably achieve some success using several different configurations and methods. The trick is figuring out which way works the best for your specific collection of gear and what you're trying to do - which seems to pretty much all boil down to trial and error (LOTS of both). Mission accomplished, thanks for your help!
