Like I said, it's a stupid mistake on my part, and I'm just too stupid to solve it...

THANK YOU for the response!
Ron,

I guessing here so I might be wrong. From the above information, though, it sounds like you might have started recording the vocal a bar or so before you started singing. If the recording had started at bar -1, it should line up with BIAB as it would have 10 bars of recording with no sound.

I just loaded a vocal created with Synth V that starts two bars before the 4-bar introduction. This means that my vocal recording has 6 bars of blank recording (the vocal starts on beat 1 of bar 5 in BIAB. Allowing for BIAB's bars -1 and 0 (count-in), I need to import my vocal at CHORUS 1 (since I use a single chorus, linear layout), Bar -1, Beat 1.

If I had started recording at Bar 6, though. This means that I haven't allowed for BIAB's count-in bars nor the introduction, then I would need to import the vocal to...

CHORUS# = 1
BAR# = 6
BEAT# = 1

What I suggest you do is to load the vocal into the Audio Track and then have a look at it in "Audio Edit". You will be able to see how it lines up. You will also be able adjust the track by inserting silence or cutting blank space.

Page 247 of the user manuat has a detailed explanation of Audio Edit and how to use it.
