<< Question #1 - Accurately Insert
Say, I have a half bar drum fill MIDI, needs to be accurately inserted to beat 3 of bar 4. What is the best practice to accurately drag/drop/snap this MIDI to the grid in the piano roll of BiaB? >>

Set the curser over beat 3 of bar 4 and paste the selected midi. Utilize the Snap to Grid feature to ensure accuracy.

<< Question #2 - Switch Between Append/Overwrite
Say, I have several different 4 bar drum MIDI loops. I first drag one loop to bar 1, listen to it, if I don't like it, I want to drag another loop to bar 1 to overwrite/replace it. If I like it, I want to drag a new loop to bar 5 while keep bar 1 to bar 4 unchanged. How can I switch between overwriting and appending to existing MIDI in the piano roll? >>

I would do each loop on it's own track, use F5 Bar Settings to designate the bars for each individual loop to play, render and merge the 3 loop tracks into a stereo WAV file and import that WAV file onto a Utility Track and revert the three loop tracks back to the Style original instruments.

<< Question #3 - Import CC Events
Say, I have a piano MIDI riff with CC64 sustain pedal event. Or a guitar solo MIDI with Pitch Bend event. How can I insert the MIDI event to the desired position in the piano roll in the meanwhile keep MIDI notes and event synced after importing? >>

I've never attempted to do this technique.

<< Question #4 - Position Accuracy
Say, I have an 8 bar bassline audio in WAV / MP3 format, needs to be inserted and accurately aligned to the beginning of bar 32 grid. In the Audio Edit / Waveform window, what is the most accurate way of achieving this? >>

Place the bassline audio WAV/MP3 on the desktop. Open the Audio Edit Window and activate the Snap Button. Reduce the BIAB window enough to select and drag the Bassline audio file onto Audio Edit Window to Bar 32 and release the mouse.

<< Question #5 - Single Mixer Track
Say, I have a one bar reverse cymbal sound effect in WAV / MP3 format, needs to be inserted to bar 4, bar 8, bar 12, bar 16... etc. How can I have the same audio duplicated and inserted to different locations of the song, but also being routed to a single mixer track, so I can control the volume with one slider. What if I have several different cymbal audio files, can they still be inserted to different locations but being connected to the same mixer track? >>

The drag and drop technique described in question 4 will work for this too. Repeat the drag drop for each bar location.
