MarioD Quote: "That is exactly what I do. I usually only keep the BiaB drum track and replace everything else with either myself and/or others playing. But that is impossible to do with BiaB, you need a DAW. "


Not relevant to the discussion, but a fun trivia fact. It is possible to record multiple audio tracks within BIAB and not have to use a DAW or RealBand. (At least in 2015 version)

It's crude and has a minimum of mixing capabilities and any of the other methods mentioned in this discussion will yield far better results but if for some reason BIAB is the only software available for recording, multiple audio tracks can be recorded and never leave BIAB.

Once you have recorded your initial audio track, open the audio menu and select "overdub existing audio". Record another take of audio and it will be merged with the original take. This process can be repeated numerous times.

I use this method as a scratch track to try out different harmonies and backing vocals when I'm creating a song in BIAB and don't want to take time to leave the program and export files into a DAW.
