I hope there will be soon a video explaining how I can make a new arrangement starting from a single audio track...

Hi Alf.

Yes you could definitely use the voice to create a BIAB arrangement. One thing to keep in mind... When I was testing stem separation, it didn't seem to strip the vocal track of whatever effects or processing was used to create it. This means that the BIAB arrangement needs to be adjust to fit around the voice rather than fitting the voice into a BIAB backing. I didn't have any issue with doing this at all, and the voice worked well.

To create a BIAB backing, as I see it, the following steps are needed...

1) Run the complete audio file through BIAB's Audio Chord Wizard. This will obtain the chords used in the arrangement as well as create a tempo map that matches the audio's tempo and tempo variations (if they exist).

2) Once the chord chart and tempo map are created, save the SGU file.

3) Load in the vocal track (I would use the Audio track although the Utilities tracks are equally good).

4) Build a BIAB backing around the vocals.

I hope this helps.

P.S. If you are not sure how to use the Audio Chord Wizard, I put together a tutorial earlier this year. It's at the link below and takes about one hour to work through.
