I want to use tracks i created in BIAB for live gigs, looking for input on process, should I save tracks as wave files to another device or just use BIAB for playback.

Lots of info/approaches about this subject on this forum.

I have a relatively simple workflow to produce backing tracks for my work as an instrumental musician.

I create my basic arrangement in biab using real Tracks. No midi.
I take the .wav file biab output as single tracks per instrument into my daw(logic).
There I mix, eq, automation, limit, etc to output a 320kbps mp3 file for performance.

I use Anytune Pro on my tablet or phone to manage and play the tracks behind my guitar.

Pretty simple stuff.
Others do differently.

Yes, this topic has been brought up many times.... you can do a search.

I think most folks around here prefer to render their BIAB/RB tracks to a high quality .MP3 as you can play it from so many devices.

I'd like to use a foot pedal though to start, stop and change tracks.
I'm doing the vocals and guitar so I mainly want just some bass, drums and occasional piano

i use an Irig Blueboard Bluetooth Pedal to control the playback software at the gig
4 pads on the pedal.
Configurable in the software.
I set mine upas follows:
start/stop playbacck
next track
previous track
loop section on/off (I loop sections of songs for improvising)

You can even add an expression pedal to control volume on the Blueboard
I tried it a couple of times but it was more complicated I liked. A bit of latency was annoying.

Now I focus on EQ and Limiting (LUFS) of my tracks during creation. The need to up/down volume at a gig (after initial sound check) has all but disappeared.

There's some discussions here regarding loudness penalty and programs like mp3gain to produce tracks that have consistent volume. That's a skill you'll want to acquire when using tracks to play out.

"Live Gigs"


I've heard talk about these.....a long time ago....

Now, if you had said "Live DJ", that would be more apropos. grin

My advice is to travel light and keep it simple.

Convert the song files to waves and use your favorite wave player.

I recommend a backup plan as well. MP3s on your phone for example.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

GuitarHacker makes an important point
Backups are a necessity. Both in the studio and at the gig.
Not only another set of audio files but a way to hook into your performance rig. Quickly.

My approach is again, simple.
I use the same playback software and mp3's on my PC (mac), tablet, and my phone.
I coordinate track files, track settings and setlists easily on all devices .

The playback software (Anytune) on my Mac(BIAB and my DAW also reside) is the master.
I do all my testing in the studio then propagate the results to both of my performance devices (slaves).
Anytune makes this multi-device replication very easy.
I have one set of files replicated across n devices. I store a copy in the cloud because I'm a pessimist.

This!

From what I've seen, our more successful giggers tend to use a tablet of some sort to play MP3/wav/etc files from. We have an iPhone/iPad app that can serve this purpose, or you can use any audio player app.

I personally wouldn't gig with a Windows machine unless I absolutely had to, and unless I had two. If you only need something that plays your song and don't need any sort of show control, VST's, or any of that sort, stick to the simplest device you can get away with.

What I would like to be able is to define parts in BB, like intro, chorus, verse, bridge, end, and be able to select them with a foot switch.
On a live gig, I like to have guest so I'd like to able to loop more chorus, or chorus+verse than originally planned.

In short, I cannot know the exact sequence of part/sections I'll need that day.
That's why mp3 won't work.

Does that exists ?

It's already possible to set "bar based section letter". Is there a possibility to tell band in box, while playing, "when you'll finish this part, jump to the section X" ?

Here's a 2 minute video explaining how you can do pretty much all of that at your gigs. I know, I do it now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4XcsYySauI


The software mentioned is free on IOS and Android
I think its $20 on Mac.
I believe there is some upcharge ($5) for some features you may need. All in all, a pittance for the service it delivers

The bluetooth pedal mentioned costs $100.

Might be worth 2 minutes of your life to evaluate.

This is all interesting but does anybody use BIAB live on stage. Seems PG has developed several interesting features for that purpose. Like the conductor and the idea of not freezing the tracks to obtain small differences in the track to obtain a more lifelike quality.

i agree with simon. convert to mp3s so you can have an ipod, back up on your phone and another ipod sourced cheaply off ebay

the benefits of being able to change the song on the fly don't outweigh the horrendous risks of failure.

i found it difficult to remember which guitar patches to use on my processor playing live without a note on the music and all it takes is momentary distraction for you to get lost. on the other hand you might be more clever than me.

with a live band you can change the order of a song by talking but that flexibility is lost once AI takes over.

I put all my BIAB tracks into Reaper where I mix and “master” them. I set all my tracks to about -14LUFS then export them. I convert the wav files to MP3 @ 320bps. I generate the words and chord sheets in a program called SongBook Pro. Each song has a pointer to the MP3. I start the song scrolling and start the MP3. The words and chords appear as required. These are all on a 2 in 1 tablet/laptop.

On the tablet/laptop I have Overloud THU setup for my guitar. I control THU with a Behringer FCB1010 midi foot controller which allows various “stomp boxes”, Volume and auto Wah rates to be controlled.

The guitar and the MP3s are balanced in the PC and go via an external audio interface which is plugged into a PA. All balanced and requiring minimal effort (usually no interference) when doing a gig.

Very simple setup that works for me.

Teunis makes an important point regarding output leveling all your tracks to the same volume. Nothing is more annoying at a gig (both to you and the crowd) than volumes that jump all around the place.

A free utility mp3Gain has helped me much in this regard. It is available for both Win and Mac.

Exactly. My thinking with this is - which one crashes more often for you, your computer or your iPod\iPad\tablet\etc? I'll assume it's the computer.

We do know of a number of users who do - I suppose they just aren't here to comment on this thread!

Just like the space shuttle, redundancy is the only real answer to electronic failures. No matter how one creates and uses backing tracks, sooner or later something will fail no matter what sort of equipment you use.

Other than a complete PA failure the last resort backup is a guitar amp and a very loud vocal...lol or an instrumental till a break to fix the issue.

I have never had a PA failure. I always carry a backup guitar amp and two or three guitars. Extra microphones and chords. Chords fail pretty often if you don't know how to take care of them.

I also am on the hunt for the best equipment/processes I can afford for a duo. I want to use Auto-Tune and other computer-based FXs plus the backing tracks. Auto-Tune requires a different setup for every key change for example but is programmable with midi. It also can cause problems when you are just talking.

I am finding really good backing tracks are not easy to acquire unless you can play all the instruments or have tons of money to have studio musicians produce them.

Reliable equipment exists but the better you get the more it costs in general.

Having a setlist pre-programmed with midi and a way to pause it and micro loop with a footswitch and stuff like that gets really complex....at least to me.

Bob "Notes" has been doing this for years and is a good guy to ask about these issues.

My younger friends use their iPhones for everything. I would pitch mine off the nearest bridge if I could get away with it. I really dislike the thing. Old guy thinking...lol

Here is a video that has some good ideas for a simple setup.

One of the best nights I can remember is we were well into a gig and the region received a major blackout. No power = no PA no Amps. What to do? Well we simply sat on a table in the middle of the auditorium got out a couple of acoustics and my ole banjo started doing some songs (we had 4 piece harmonies.) within no time a heap of people were singing along and we had a great party. As I said one of the best nights I can recall.

Where there’s a will there’s a way (or a relative).

These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
