As I learn I am asking myself if I can make them even better by enhancing the bass chords beyond what BIAB supplies. For example I see that there are no Minor with major 7 chords and 7th chords with +5. I watched a real simple video below which implies I can create my own this way for more complex chords.

So I got my answer at this video at exactly 11:27. I can add more complex chords for BIAB to draw from (or Realband to draw from).

So I guess all the videos mention this.



And again I am looking for a video that shows how a drummer could create their own click tracks to send to me so I can use that during a jam session. The idea is they might be more receptive to using a click track if they know they made it themselves with all the embellishments they like or whatever. At this point I am thinking the drummer could use the same process of just recording their bongos or congas over these chords and naming the user track appropriately and it will insert their playing against these chords as if it was a guitar. How well does this idea work? Has anyone tried it? Might it be necessary to play the drums against all chord types so that BIAB does not try to change key on the drums making it sound kind of weird.

Hey John,

It's actually a lot, lot, simpler than you would think based on this as applied to drums/percussion.

For that, all you would need to do is import audio of said drums and save the selection as a "user loop" in BiaB. When you select the loop, set to "non-transpose" in the loop selection dialogue to avoid weird transitions and artifacts.
