How do I reset (completely wipe out) the audio of a BIAB song? #240622 02/19/14 07:42 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

There seems to be a chord progression from a completely other song going on simultaneously with my intended progression entered into the main chords window! What an ugly mess! Trying to go to the style picker and pick a completely new song isn't helping. Is this file just corrupt somehow? I put so much work into finding hip chords for the progression I don't want to have to write them all down on a piece of paper and manually start it again! Is there a way to completely "clear" or reset the audio accompaniment for a chord progression?

I suspect the problem is you have created a .wav file with the exact same name and this plays automatically by default. You can search for this and delete it or just rename the file. Worth a try.

That worked! Thanks! I did a save-as on the BIAB file, then obliterated all other files related to the original filename. I specified the realtracks style I wanted and badda-bing- the track as I INTENDED it.

A question that comes up all the time on this forum is how to do an exact cover of a classic song because the standard Biab generated tracks either midi or RT's are generic. One way is to create a separate audio file of intros, certain song hooks, maybe an exact bass line or whatever and have it play along with the other tracks. You mute the Biab tracks you don't want for those bars (or whole song) that are playing from the audio file. Therefore it was decided to have the audio file automatically play if that file is saved with the same file as the song itself. The user has the option to uncheck that. A couple of years ago I did a Christmas song based on a Spyro Gyra version of it. I was able to import the original recording onto the audio track and then mute it in and out with Biab tracks and without much work at all it sounded really good but you could still tell where the transitions were. With a little more work with it in a full DAW like Real Band I could have easily made it close to perfect.

Or, using the BB2014 new GUI's mixer, expand the bottom by clicking on the Audio tab to see the Audio channel and hit Mute to make sure that it is indeed the Audio track playing concurrently.
