This is funny Wendy. I'm doing the exact same thing right now with a Yellowjackets tune called Revelation. It's a rockin gospel shuffle with a jazz twist to it. Gospel has harmony bass lines on probably 75% of the chords. Biab is playing the slash bass part perfectly but it's completely messing up both the organ RT and the Midi Supertrack southern rock piano rhythm. Both are trying to follow those slash bass parts and it's very choppy. Like you said, I need to create a new chord grid and simplify the chords just for those parts.

I'm going to talk about Real Band again like I did in your other thread yesterday. RB can do this much easier than Biab can. Here's the single biggest thing about RB, it can either generate the whole song just like Biab or it will only generate one track at a time. Again you have 48 tracks here. The other huge thing is you can completely change the chord grid in RB between each generation without changing what's already there.

Example, I have 6 tracks already for that song based on the chords I put in Biab. In RB I can leave all those alone, arm a new track, change the chord grid (and the style even) and generate just that track alone. Arm another track and do it again, and again and...you get the idea.

You can do all this experimentation all within the same song and you could wind up with 25, 30 or more tracks to compare, mess with, cut and paste, whatever you want. You can't do any of that in Biab. Also since RB is a DAW, you can move entire sections of your tune around like you decide to add an extra verse, no need to insert bars, regenerate and all that, all you do is highlight the verse, hit Copy and insert it wherever.

This is why so many say they will move their project into a DAW after Biab gives them the basic tracks. Using RB instead of another DAW makes it easier imho. Regular DAW's cannot generate new tracks but RB can. This btw is also what the new Biab VST is all about. It will insert Biab inside of a DAW which solves that problem. Eventually the VST could make RB redundant but right now I'm not using another DAW.
