When there is any question where the song begins, sometimes I will make the cut in my DAW. After I set the same tempo as in BIAB, the measures are clearly marked.

The problem with not doing it by ear, nudging the start left and right as needed, is that some RealTracks play a pickup (often guitar; not just drums).
