I think I've gotten the hang of inserting Real Tracks, but I'm trying to load a Soloist (as opposed to Rhythm or Background) track that I only want to play for 8 bars, starting (for example) at bar 25. What is the preferred method to do this?

One way would be to use 'F5'
Go to bar 25 and press F5 to bring up the edit settings menu. In the top section, right hand side, press the 'realtracks' button. Select which BIAB track you want to place the soloist realtrack on, select the realtrack you want to use, and press ok. Then 8 bars later do the same thing except clear the realtrack (or go back to the previous realtrack if you had a rhythm realtrack there before).

If I had a free track, I would load the soloist and just use F5 to mute it and return to normal as needed. Otherwise I would do it as BlueAttitude described.

Hello Tangmo,
For solos, have you explored the Soloist Dialog?
There are some great options here for generating a Solo in your song. For your situation specifically, if you select Custom under 'Solo Mode', you can generate a Solo at a certain bar and establish for how many bars you would like it to play out for.
Try experimenting, you may find this will give you more natural solos in your projects.
C-sharp when you cross the street… or you’re going to B-flat.

I export the real tracks from BB/RB to my DAW. In the DAW, I have the entire track available and use volume envelopes to control what comes in and goes out and where.
The advantage to this method is as follows. If I have something about that solo that I do not like, it's really easy to grab the part from a different section of the song that follows the same chord pattern, such as a different verse or chorus, where the solo would not normally be heard and simply copy and paste it into the one that will be heard. I can't count the number of times I have used this with not only solos, but the fills that are heard in a verse between the singer's phrases.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Thank you, gentlemen (and Dave). I'll be delving into all these possibilities soon.

To learn more about BIAB while you are creating your solo, try this for fun and expanding your knowledge of the program.
As Matt suggested, generate the entire track of your soloist instrument. Solo and review the entire performance and using the Audio Editor, cut and paste a custom solo. This gives you the same advantages Guitarhacker describes in his comment.
It is quick and easy to do and is be done completely within the BIAB program so it can also be useful to MAC BIAB users. You can use either a midi track, RealTrack, Supermidi or even a live recording.
The key to being able to do this in BIAB is the track must first be exported as a WAV file and imported back into your project onto the Audio Track. Otherwise, the Audio Edit screen doesn't have audio to edit.
Once you've created your solo or any custom track, convert the audio to a Performance Track and place the Performance Track onto another track to free your Audio Track for additional use in your project.
BIAB 2025:RB 2025, Latest builds: Dell Optiplex 7040 Desktop; Windows-10-64 bit, Intel Core i7-6700 3.4GHz CPU and 16 GB Ram Memory.
