Hi All,
I am have dabbled in MAC-BIB for a bit, but I want to learn it properly. Which tutorial should I watch to get at least the basic understanding of how to make backing tracks. I can put in chords, but not far beyond that. I have watched some of the youtube tutorials, but again, I like to watch how to make a backing track from beginning to end. How to sample/choose the style, When to put a or b and how to make the melody line? Any help would be appreciated.

Peter if you are from Victoria B.C., you can just visit BIAB offices. Just kidding. Welcome to the forum, I am sure you will soon become comfortable with the program. You are in a beautiful city.
