![]() ![]() Play along is one part, but beïng able to read, to transpose and to exchange BIAB chord files on the spot is a more important part for many musicians, which can be done without your running server by importing only the. mp4 music from your PC along with the chords for play-along, this is imho too complicated since it needs a connection to a running BIAB server. In the app you can transpose the files in the "preferences" to any different key, and you can do this on the spot. So I did create a simple Dropbox directory containing all the files in a #_z directory structure (for easy search) and downloaded the lot (ca 6000 Yahoo BIAB files see: ). But, I'm only using it as a practice tool, not to generate something "realistic" sounding to use on a gig.One can simply open and import via Dropbox all your. I think I paid for the upgrade once, but the times I've tried to activate the real tracks (instead of the General MIDI defaults) it didn't work, so I've never used them.

For me it's downside is the user interface, which is clumsy and non-intuitive to me, ever after using it for a year or so. IReal Pro's advantage is that you can run it on a tablet, so you can use it for charts on a gig (this is super common in Seattle jazz gigs), and since so many other people are using it, you can mail each other charts in a common format. I do have and use iReal Pro, both the desktop and mobile version, and Band-In-Box. ![]()
