Hi all,
It's been a long time since I've been on the forums.
I've been spending a lot of time surfing the BIAB style picker for these old songs, and have come up empty-handed. None of the styles seem to work. Have any of you fine people put together any of these songs, and do you have ideas to share? I really only need bass and drums, since I fill in the piano on live gigs with my singer.
Thanks,
Ken

Some suggestions: Check out my post on this BIAB Forum thread - HERE - In the post, I detail how I've imported a midi file to initially set up a cover song and then saved the bass and drums that in the case for the song I'm demonstrating, are accurate performances of the original song. The midi file in this instance was created in the original song key signature, tempo and chord progression. Once you have it in your SGU file, any of these parameters can be modified to whatever and however you choose. In my demonstration, I used the Bass, Drums on the Melody Channel and song Melody on the Soloist Channel to audition and load a RealStyle suitable for my song. This method or variations of it may work well for what you're trying to do. For instance, you may be able to locate a good midi file or yourself perform and replicate an accurate bass line and save your own midi version to import into BIAB. This may also be an option for you to replicate other signature riffs and phrases of other covers you do. You can also create your own version of a song and save it as a midi file then use that midi file to import a track's midi data into an existing SGU file where you don't need to import all of the tracks and midi data that would overwrite your existing work. To do this use the commands: File\Import\Import Melody from Midi File. You can also import a second track of midi data likewise using Import Soloist from Midi File. These commands permit you to import from 1 to 16 channels or any combination onto your project's BIAB Mixer's Melody and Soloist Tracks to use in your song. These commands works best if you know the Midi File's Key signature and tempo initially to avoid transposing. Once the data is in your song correctly, transposing is no longer an issue. By creating or using existing midi files of a song, whether it's a cover or original, you have or otherwise can set the groove and feel of the song so when you open the Stylepicker to audition styles, using the ' Play Using Current Chord Sheet for song' button, hear an accurate rendition to how your project will sound with a style rather than the BIAB demo sound. There is normally a dramatic difference to how these different two selections sound from each other. You also can easily determine what instruments to include or omit in order to leave room for your piano and your singer.
