Good luck and I hope this helps.

Thanks for the response. I’m extremely new to BIAB. Does BIAB have anything similar to iReal Pro and its community of shared charts and progressions?

I don't think BIAB has quite the volume of standards that IrealPro has available.
There are some zip files circulatiing with a 500+ standards in .SGU & .MGU (biab formats)
IrealPro has a couple thousand if memory serves.
While an overlap exists, there are some major difference.

IrealPro is a great tool for learning the changes of a particular tune.
Its also great for practicing those tunes in other keys/tempos etc.
Honestly I do think its a better tool for shedding than BIAB.
Its just quicker. Not better, Just quicker.
Especially if you don't want/need the melody of the head.
The IrealPro forum is a GREAT place to argue about whether the changes to a tune are correct.
Check out the never ending argument on Wayne Shorter's "FootPrints".
Only I seem to know what to play.

But I would NEVER gig with IrealPro.
BIAB is what you use to create high quality backing tracks to perform with.
BIAB what you use to create a band to back you up that sounds like a real band.

At least that's what I feel is big difference
