I found this thread searching for Workflow as Im pretty new to BIAB . you people seem very advanced compared to me but I really like the info and insights I am gaining from this thread so thanks. I think i will refer to these comments and ideas over time and learn from it greatly so again thanks.
My start point was saving a song then when reloading it it needed regenerate which screwed it up then found freeze tracks which then leads to editing stuff and what the best workflow work practices are to not make an utter mess. Seems like that's not that easy and time comsuming judging by comments here. I am an accomplished Musician use to DAW recording in things like Bitwig and Ableton mainly have use Ample guitar VST for my guitar strums and my Roland Fantom I can get most sounds off like convincing Sax or B3 and Electric piano and orchestral strings etc. I use Toontracks drum programs with real drummer midi.
Im getting the idea from this thread that maybe I should not worry to much as i have these tools at hand instead use BIAB to get some basics down freeze tracks and save then finish in the DAW.
I noticed the 7 regens in a sub menu accidentally and you guys mentioned partial regens mentioned. i have not tried these yet so i will spend some time figuring how best to do this seems another non logical step of faith almost thing to have to do.
So maybe get stuff into the daw ASAP . At some point I could iff necessary, maybe replace some tracks or partial tracks with my own drums from toontrack and my played in parts on keys. I could mix these in with audio from BIAB , partial regens, creating loops from BIAB especially for solos. So using BIAB to create the ideas and chords but using the daw much more than I was hoping.
Does this sound logical in my situation with what I have ?
I thought BIAB would be more consistent. It seems too clever in someways and i don't like the fact it makes you freeze and regen and partial regenerate tracks or parts of tracks its seems unnatural to the musician in me. A bit disappointed, I think the average musician is going to find it like learning a DAW when you've never touched one or even worse. So hopefully they can rethink some of these things. Problem is the legacy code in a program can get too tied up and cumbersome and it almost needs large chunks reset and re written which of course can be a major pain for developers and even users . A giant can of worms.
