Here is a song I took an mp3 of a person playing rhythm guitar and singing. That's all that's on the mp3. I might add that the timing on this recording was not perfect but I still managed it in BIAB
I had to tweak a few chords in a couple of places.
search for a style I like and change the instruments to real tracks.
All this was done in 20min from start to finish from 1 person and 1 guitar mp3... to a 1 person and a bluegrass band mp3 all done in BIAB.
Here's the finish product (way too busy but shows one example of what can be done)

Stuart, was the singing in perfect timing all the way through? If not how did you line up BIAB to corespond with the singing, because BIAB doesn't fluctuate once started. does it?

When you import an mp3 into BIAB you can tweak the timein by tappin the F8 key I believe.

Thanks Andy... so if the singer kind of fluctuates timing throughout the song, if I hit F8 in time with his/her singing BIAB will also fluctuate with the vocalist?
Had a female vocalist & her timing was not great & asks me to put a BIAB track behind her song..

It's best to let the singer go thru it once and record it. Reenter the chords and make a band arrangement first and then have the singer sing to that.

thanks Stuart, would of course be ideal.. but this singer wouldn't listen to me & only recorded with herself playing bass, & her husband playing rhythm guitar. I suggested to her to do it with BIAB, but she didn't/wouldn't.. now she's in Texas & has no computer let alone BIAB, I'm in Sask. canada.. I did record them on separate tracks, so I have her vocal on an track, but no way can I get the metronome to stay with her.. I will see her next winter, & try to persuade her to sing to the track.
