"In hardware arrangers there are usually at least 3 intros available mixed/based on the rest of the song. I know that BIAB does not offer that, but it would be nice if:
You create 1 intro and program would randomize stuff based on data/sound of your intro to give you somewhat different sounding choices to experiment with and tweak later."


Actually BIAB does offer this feature and it provides a lot of flexible and complex choices equal to what most HW Arrangers do. You can create and audition as many Intros as you desire. There is no limit of 3-4 variations. Then, if you are satisfied with any of the fully customizable auto intros, you can manually create one as others have detailed the steps here in the post.

BIAB intros are Style Based but the entire data base of Styles and all the instruments, whether RealTracks, Midi, Supermidi, Loops, Samples and Audio are available for use and completely customizable. The Intro can by one particular Style and the Song a completely different Style and even a User Created Style. All of the Intro instruments can be different than the Song Style instruments if you want them to be.

BIAB generated Intro's can be selected prior to entering the Chords into the Chord Chart, during entering Chords or after the song structure has been completed. Even months after you've completed a song, open an SGU file and instantly you can generate an Intro.


Try Edit\Song Form\Intro Bars

A Window opens with lots of options and variations. Simply audition the options, apply variations and select your favorite. Manually mute/unmute instruments, create fade in's, Fade out's, rests, holds and shots, change Styles to the options and variations of the Auto generated Intro chords and you have nearly unlimited options to create your own custom intro.
