PLEASE HELP ...TALKING TO BIAB PEOPLE HAS BEEN USELESS ...

MY QUESTION IS ... CAN ANYONE POINT ME TO A FEW SIMPLE JAZZ BALLAD STYLES WITH SIMPLE 1/4 NOTE BASS LINES, AND SPARSE PIANO COMPING ... I HAVE GIVEN UP SEARCHING AFTER DOZENS AND DOZENS OF WASTED HOURS ... AND YES I HAVE TRIED ALL THE FILTERS, SIMPLE ARRANGEMENT, NO EMBELLISHMENT, AND, AND, AND OTHER TECHNIQUES.

I have been using BIAB on and off for over 25 years, and i am back at it, but EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. They add thousands of similar styles for every upgrade which add nothing but more difficulty finding anything.

When I try to find a slow jazz ballad style (Midi, SuperMidi, or Real Tracks), the piano is always way too busy (plays like a chord based solo), and the bass is way too busy for any ballad (plays like a soloist with all kinds of frills). All of this drowns me out.

I feel like I have to play accompaniment and let them do all the soloing.

I'm especially sick and tired of editing bass accompaniments. If I am playing a slow, sad ballad, the bass is all over the place (despite the 1/4 note setting) ... playing approach notes, scalar, arpeggiated fills, 1/8ths, 1/8 triplets, and anything but a simple chord outline on 1/4 notes. I might as well write my own bass lines in Finale (easier than editing in BIAB)

If I sound frustrated, and a little hostile, my sincere apologies ... but wasting so much time is maddening.

Thanks for any assistance offered
