"Footprints" and/or "So What"
This is probably a BIAB 101 question and I may be missing an obvious solution but could somebody tell me how to program a bass intro to my backing tracks ala these two tunes?
Steve I am new at BAIB but I have experimanted a little on this kind of thing. Just right click on a chord and go down to chord settings and click that, the chord options box will open and you will see that chord in the window, you put a period next to the chord then go over to the right of the window and click on rest only and then click on all instruments but,then just click on all of the instruments but the bass and go from there but remember to set the number of bars that you want it for.

I think Howard has the easiest solution.

For songs like "Footprints" or "So What" where the bass plays a specific melodic figure, you could put the notes in manually in the notation editor, or record them in real time from a MIDI keyboard or guitar.
There is a "Notation" button that gets you into the notation editor, and from there another button, the "B" button, shows you the bass track. "N" toggles the display to an editable grid.
It's somewhat awkward compared to other audio / MIDI recording and editing software.

Bass notes
If you use the bass in BIAB it will always recreate the bass notes according to the style chosen. The only way (other than going to Power tracks - or possibly Realband) would be to mute the bass. Then using the melody or soloist tracks create the bass line you want and set the instrument on that track to bass.
Hope that helps
