Saving recording to WAV question #41977 11/08/09 12:57 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

Simply click the '.WAV' button and follow the instructions? Or play the tune and listen to my playing and then click '.WAV' Or something else? It's just that sometimes I end up with two WAV files, sometimes without one at all. Thanks Hugh

Realband will ask you if you want to overwrite the file. This is safe because Realband doesn't write the same files as BIAB. While Realband reads BIAB files, when it saves the file it uses an SEQ format. If you want, though, you can always use "Save As" and then rename the file when you save it using Realband.

I'll try it out as you say above - am I right in expecting saving in WAV to be a simple matter? Thanks Hugh

Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

It's not that difficult to use and the tutorial video is excellent. Here is the link for the tutorial video. I use BIAB and RB in tandem in the following way. Create a song in BIAB (that is, find a style, set a chord progression, etc.). Take a note of the panning and volume for each instrument in BIAB. Save the song and then open up the BIAB file in RB. (It could take a while to open the file because RB immediately generates the tracks.) In the TRACKS VIEW, left click on the panning slider of each instrument and set the panning that was in BIAB. Do the same for volume using the volume sliders. The RB file should now sound like it did in BIAB. (Note: RB does not read the BIAB instrument setting. These need manually setting. It only takes 5 mins maximum.) Save the song as an RB SEQ file. Now that the file is in RB, it's very easy to record MIDI or audio tracks and save the tracks to a single rendered wav file or individual wav files. Good luck, Noel MY SONGS...
