And what happens when I have a bunch of multiriffs generated? For example, maybe I generate multiriffs for piano bars 2, 17, 21-29 and 30. Then I generate multiriffs for guitar bars 10-13, 22-24 and 45. Is that a total of 49 WAV files (7 x 7) that are stored? And how in the world would BIAB reassemble those on the audio channel?

I suspect you (or someone) is going to explain some limitation as to how many sets of multiriffs can be generated for a single BIAB song because otherwise this gets incredibly messy very quickly.

Seems like just replacing the selected bars with new RealTrack references would have made for a much cleaner implementation. If I freeze my tracks and save my BIAB song, next time I open it BIAB is capable of retrieving the proper set of RealTrack riffs and reassemble the song for me. I'd love if it did the multiriffs that way as well.


Each multi riff is saved as an individual WAV file in the DAW Dropbox folder. Each multi Riff can be the whole track or just a portion of bars. What can be comped in BIAB so far as I can tell from the time I've experimented with it are the portions. Multiple clips can be combined into a single track. Usually a riff of just a few bars. Using a riff, if they are repeating throughout the song, all seven riffs could be placed onto the Audio Track at various bars so that though the riff repeats, every repeat will be a slightly different regeneration. In your example of generating multiple files from multiple instruments, you will choose from the various snippets of audio and can mix between the various instruments and insert them all onto a single audio track. Assembly of the track is done manually from the insert audio menu window. This audio track can be converted to a Performance Track and the process repeated with again from the multi riffs in the drop box folder. This has been possible for some time except in the past, entire tracks had to be generated and the Audio track opened in a DAW to extract the individual riffs.

Comments by Dr. Gannon in another thread discussing multi riffs indicate there may be enhancements to streamline multi riff use within the BIAB project but initially, it was thought the multi riffs would primarily be moved to a DAW and used there.
