Hi, just got BIAB a few days ago and I've been messing around with it, trying to figure out how it works. I've run into some hiccups with the style maker.
First I tried editing an existing style like the tutorial suggested and that went ok, I get how it works more or less. Then I tried building a style from scratch. I went into the drum grid and put some patterns in. Then, as soon as I save it and hit play I hear all these extra drum sounds on the drum and loop channels in the mixer. They are sort of blended in with the drums I recorded. Has anyone else had this problem? What is going on?

Welcome to the forum. I'm not an expert on the stylemaker, but someone will come along who should be able to help. I have not encountered what you did. Just checking, this is BIAB 2018, yes? Have you updated to Build #505? http://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm#505In the meantime, try muting some of the channels in the mixer, to identify where the unwanted sounds are coming from.
BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

Hey there, thanks for the reply. I did check the mixer, one of the unwanted sounds was on the Loops channel, which I did not even try to use or do anything with. The other unwanted sounds were on the drum channel along with the pattern that I programmed. It was like some cymbal/tambourine pattern.
Yes, 2018. I have not applied any updates yet but I will, thanks!

Robertleo, welcome to the forum and BIAB. I also just read and responded to your other post. Inferring between the two posts to what you are attempting to do, I suggest you try an alternate method to 'building' your own style. Regardless of the version you purchased, many styles come with BIAB.
You can use the 2018 StylePicker to do a search for a song. Search for similar songs tempo, genre and groove of your song project. Locate a suitable style to work with from the list generated by the StylePicker search. It doesn't matter if you are dissatisfied with some or all of the loops, samples and audio, drums and midi instruments of the style you've chosen. If you have a song in mind that isn't in the BIAB database, Google the search parameter information for the particular song you have in mind for your reference song.
Your goal here is to structure your song form. Determine your structure similar to Intro, Verse, Verse, Pre Chorus, Chorus, Middle Eight, Chorus, Verse, Pre Chorus, Chorus, Chorus, Outro. Place whatever you want the structure of the song to be. Determine the key signature and tempo. Create a rough draft of a drum track, Bass track, the chord progression and create a melody.
From this point, you edit the song into its final version, adding instruments, bringing various instruments in and out. Adding percussions, sound effects, vocals, backing vocals, and any other creative ideas to build the song you hear in your mind. You can use loops and samples that come from BIAB or any other library or create your own.
At some point you may prefer to move your song over to a DAW to complete the process and make the workflow easier but it's not absolutely necessary.
Hope this helps.
