Is there a metronome or drone note available on BIAB that is talked about on the following thread?

How about using the tuner in Biab? you can use any note you want then.

How bout writing your own as a melody, then solo the melody during playback. You could mix in whole notes, half notes, etc. Walk it up and down the scales, any pattern that is helpful as practice to you.

Then change keys and start all over again.

Then, write it in harmonized scales. This should keep you plenty busy with a practice method.

OK, snowed in and bored.

Give these tracks (BIAB Files) a spin. Major scale practice tracks. Solo the melody for the scale note by itself.

Also harmonized in 3rds, 5ths, and full chords (3rds & 5ths)

Hope you like it, and hope it helps.

Hey David,,,thanks a million!!!! How do I get these tracks (downloads) into my BIAB program? Can I drag and drop into BIAB?

Hi Sonny,

You should be able to open the zip, then copy the files to whatever folder that you normally use for your BIAB files.

Hey Dave,,,I hate to be so tech challenged but,,,,after I right click, copy the track,,,,and open my BIAB,,,where do I paste the file,,,or how do I paste the file??? Normally, I open BIAB,,,click "song" or "F" or "Open" or "New",,,whichever one I want. So how would I get these tracks into my BIAB program?

Sonny,

I'm probably not the best at explaining this, but here goes: All of your BIAB files are in a "folder" You simply paste the song into the same folder.

Example: When you open BIAB and click "open", you are seeing the contents of a folder. You can paste it there. Hope this helps.

You can most likely double click the file when the zip opens and let it automatically open BIAB, then hit the "Save As" icon and save from there too.

Also, you can view the folders on your hard drive (usually C: ), then drill down to the BIAB folder, which is normally bb, then drill down into the remaining folder to see which one has all of your songs, and paste them there.
