Re Why.

in the past in all tape no computer 2 inch 24 trak studios we would typically lay down a 'scratch vocal' knowing the arrangement might change later on, and vocs would thus have to be re-done//finalised .

HOWEVER in NOW computer bases studios, and on my rig, its a different paradigm.
NOW in creating songs i use the best features of different music production software.
see my sig at bottom…in my case biab//realban and reaper.

in summary i play to the strengths of each app.

…if you dont think the arrange will change. then lay down a scratch voc , else you'll
have to edit/move the voc trak as youve found. no biggie. now if you change the arrange in chord sheet OFTEN youre gonna have to edit the voc scratch OFTEN.
but there is an alternative. ….
...use a software that lets you easily grab bits of audio with mouse and drag around the voc scratch. in my case i use reaper for this…and final vocs.
so bb for bed traks/genning which i export to reaper to do final vocs.
once ive finalised the arrange and its FINAL then i do final vocs in reaps or realband (which has its own set of neat features with 48 traks etc. )

in summary its all bout developing ones work methods.
i'm sure as bb adds more 'daw like' features, working with audio…will get more advanced.
its just FOR ME i find it easier in reaps or realband.

but i dont wanna confuse you with more apps to learn. SO maybe try what i used to do years ago in using biab…
i would sing along while developing bb chord view, and when finalised ...
would export the bb traks to a daw like reaps or rb.

fwiw ive done 90 songs using bb/rb/reaps using the STRENGTHS of each.
(whether the songs are any good…lol..others can judge.)

so AGIRL in summary each app has strengths, AND IF you think youll be doing a song in bb
that might change OFTEN in chord view. and to save time just sing along with chords live while playing, and to save re-doing vocs all the time.

hth//happiness.
