If I export a BIAB project into Logic for fine tweaking, it seems (yes, I'm a real newbie!) that I can only put it back into BIAB as audio files, or am I missing something? This would negate the option of changing the number of repeat choruses, right?
Or can I put it back as MIDI? I don't mind if I can't use Real Tracks … also, if I import Logic MIDI instruments into BIAB, would they revert to BIAB instruments?
(I'm in the early stages of attempting to build up a performance repertoire).
I'm sure it's all in the manual somewhere, but it's not very user friendly—for instance, in Piano Roll there is the option of showing "Ghost Notes", but I don't seem to be able to get that to work, is there a step other than just clicking the Ghost button?

Let us know exactly which version of BIAB you have and what you want to do. Be as precise as you can.
You're more asking us which choice is best when we don't know the goal … whatever that is … and there are more ways to tie Logic and BIAB that you have mentioned (including the plug-in). So help us out: when you do __, what is __ supposed to do or what do you want to happen?
Lots of people willing to help out and point you in the right direction once we know.

What form is your "performance repertoire" going to be? BIAB files you play along with in BIAB? Logic Pro files you play along with in Logic? mp3 or audio files that you play along with elsewhere?
You do not import "midi instruments", you import midi data. This data tells a synthesizer such things as what note to play, how long to play it, what tempo to play at, etc. So if you took midi data from Logic and played it in BIAB, it will play with whatever synthesizer is assigned to play it in BIAB. So you would hear the same midi data played on a different synth. I know this is all confusing, but stick with it! You'll eventually get it all figured out!
As far as repeating choruses, you can also endlessly loop a segment within Logic, but it would be the exact same thing repeated over and over, NOT with variations as you would get in BIAB. If you are totally new to all of this, I might suggest to just stick with BIAB first. Then later, when you've got a little better understanding of BIAB (and computer audio in general), then you could try to incorporate Logic. Otherwise, you're trying to learn two really complicated programs PLUS some general computer audio principles ALL at once, which is a daunting task.
Good luck! Have fun! Enjoy the ride! Don't hesitate to ask questions - you'll usually find a pretty congenial response here!
