as follows.
1. make sure bpm in daw eg reaps/cub/cake/tools
matches bpm in biab.
2. have a unique folder for each new song that
contains all your biab files and your daw
recorded tracks.
ie a central repository for the song.
instead of spreading traks across many folders.
makes back ups a breeze.
i back up to ssd's and pen drives also stored
offsite.
BUT THE BIGGEST THING IS.
3.THERE IS A FEATURE IN BIAB THAT I CALL
"THE WORLDS BEST SONGWRITING FEATURE".
let me illustrate.
youve transferred your basic bed tracks from biab to your daw
for the first time.
i bet a lot of people stop there and continue in the daw.
but N OOOOO !! go back into the stylepicker, click on a different
style USEING YOUR CURRENT CHORDS YOU ARE USEING,
now !! NOTICE THE STYLEPICKER BUTTON THAT IS ABOVE THE
GREEN PLAY BUTTON ?? it just says "play". but i think should be called
the best darn songwriting feature EVER.
this simple button will now play any new style youve selected
USEING YOUR CURRENT SONG CHORD STRUCTURE.
thus you can obtain a slew / zillions of new feels and instruments etc
and thus transfer over to the daw the ones you like for your song.
you must be patient of course. i spend several hours finding those
sound pictures i like from the zillions of styles and auditioning
to find what fits.
thus that little play button should be called the darn tooting best
feature for creating songs. wowser.
pg should include this as a huge block print note with each
item shipped to a user imho. cos a new user might not
notice it , and do the basic one pass of bed traks into the daw.
peace out.


Yep! Some of the best arrangements for backings for my solo guitar have come from using Style picker and wondering "what will my chords sound like with this Style".
