Biab is a great tool for writing your own stuff. You can save the files as separate audio files. Save to your desktop and then drag the files individually into GB or Logic 9. I like to build the bass part in Biab and also a drum track using real tracks. Maybe some fiddle back up. Then in GB the structure of my tune is done. The I record my guitar part and a vocal, maybe a harmony vocal. Then I am ready to mix! I know loops are great but they dictate what your music will sound like. God Bless

Yes, I had a booger of a time getting Gio to work in MainStage2. But I finally got it working and was disappionted in the transport settings on the Gio for the PlayBack mode. I would like to see them be customizeable at a minimum. Also the tutorial on MainStage2 by Bill Burgess really just brushes over what I was most interested in. Since I build my backup tracks in Logic Pro 9 and plan to send them to MainStage2 I wish there was more in the tutorial on how to bring in sets of premade audio tracks from LogicPro 9 and then running them hands free using the Gio. For example if I have 10 different backup tracks for 10 different songs, that makes up one set of music, what is the best way to do this so I never have to touch my computer while performing? This is of course using the Gio transport, since I am not using a midi keyboard. Thanks, Van
