How come this information has been so elusive, (at least for me)?? grin

I assume this is in the BiaB manual somewhere??

As a total rookie in regards to playing solo with a backing track and no other musicians to cover-up rhythm errors, you might just say I am paranoid of screwing up in front of people. blush

Besides, I have watched more than a few musicians using backing tracks chasing the rhythm during a performance and I don’t want that to be me. Think of it as training wheels I may eventually give-up. However, for the time being my confidence will boosted a 1000% with a count-in and click track.

In other words I don't want to fall off my bike before I really learn how to ride it...

i might be wrong but it looks to me like you can use either biab or realband.

heres the relevant chapter in the rb manual re music xml import etc…..for you to read…

Thanks and thanks to all!!

It might just be time to bite the bullet and start playing around with Band in Box.

This is all somewhat overwhelming to someone who for most of his life played music acoustically or into someone else’s equipment and as a result is clueless about all things related to digital music production, sound equipment and related periphery.

And, I still have to figure out what else I need to buy and how to make it all work with the equipment I already have!! cry

You all have been very helpful, thanks again!!
