New here... who are the BIAB gurus, guys?

[LtKojak]

Hi guys!

I've just got BIAB 2011 and because I've never used it before, I'd like to know who are the "go-to" guys 'round here to ask 'bout some low level/beginner stuff, or a link to any forum dedicated to this program.

I speak English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Danish, so no many language barriers for me, so you can suggest any forum from those languages, as long as it's good... I mean, if something similar even exists; I haven't made any research on the subject.

I've been a player for over forty years, but I've just started to approach Jazz music, so I thought BIAB could lend me a hand to start up. Did I make a good choice, guys? What do you think?

Looking forward to hear from you.

Yours very truly,

BIAB is a great tool for jazz musicians, because it essentially gives you a backing track for playing the head/improvising/comping over tunes & changes (which you may already be aware of). The changes that can be modified in many different ways - tempo, style, etc, which allows one to tailor the tool for their skill level. I first started using the software back in the 90's when I was in music school, and most recently a few years ago when I started playing again. I am familiar with the basic features (but am by no means an expert), so if you have some specific questions I can try to help.

There are also several yahoo groups dedicated to BIAB, and these groups also have a mailing list to pose questions, which would also be a good source of information for you.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, pghguitar. I think I'll check the yahoo groups; I already participate in the Behringer V-Amp one, and it's been useful.

Yours truly,
