Biab Gurus

Post by Jim Whitaker »

I have 2 questions First how do i get a song to play all the way thru without it going back to the first measure I have tried everything. & second does anyone have any good country styles that aren't as hokie as the ones I have. I don't want a lot of fills just straight ahead shuffles & ballads.

Thanks in advance

It sounds like you have the "bar for end of chorus" set for too few measures.

Just to the right of the tempo indicator are the settings for Beginning and End of chorus. (BIAB refers to the entire song as 1 chorus). Those beginning and ending bar settings are set to 1 - 32 by default. So after 32 bars the program bumps back to the beginning of the song. You need to reset the "end of chorus" to the last bar of your song... 64 bars, or whatever number of measures your song has. Just click on the box to reset the bar number.

BIAB 11's MegaPak has lots of good country shuffles to choose from.
I think the standard BIAB has the C_MERLE style (Merle Travis). That's a straight, simple country backing. Remember, you can change the instrument voices within a style and reset the volume levels and save the changes.
