Hi Paul,

I assumed a lot of work with any video program based on just my experience making music videos.

The Studio one idea was because I sometimes create a chord track to refer to if I have created an original song that I have a hard time remembering what I wrote. Don't ever get old....lol
I have never tried to put lyrics in that program.

The "karaoke" style video is useful to the vocalist but not much to me. I have some custom karaoke backing tracks that sound pretty good.

The whole backing track use is limiting, within any form.

I don't have any problem playing in time to the track but it certainly takes the "rhythmic change up/timing" ability away and sounds really unnatural when quantized. Certain fingerstyle acoustic guitar tracks especially sound unnatural because no one plays that precisely.

This is a new world for me. I have considered the idea for some time but just now getting into the actual issues.

At the end of the day, it always comes down to money.
Even having an unlimited budget does not guarantee you will get what you want.

BIAB has the right idea based on the use of both midi and Real Tracks. The software is still a long way from being both complex enough and is certainly not user-friendly. I am not sure it could ever be user-friendly, because what I find "user friendly" would be useless to many other folks. I would want a more "standard notation" approach and fewer arcane BIAB terms. Adding chords is great as far as it goes but I want to add single notes to at least a sixteenth note. Good luck with all that
...lol

Anyway, thanks. Several people here on the forum have begun to get me up to speed as to what is possible to do with backing tracks.

Thanks to all you folks.

Billy
