Hi All - First post from Northern Ireland!
I have ordered BIAB 2020 from Thomann and I'm doing a little bit of prep. I have had a Helicon 'Play Acoustic' for a few years I want to use the pedal with BIAB but have never managed to get it to work with my previous recordings except live with my guitar as the reference. The unit never seems to pick up the trigger signal cross-reference with the vocal and therefore produce a proper harmony.
Has anyone successfully managed to use a feed from their BIAB into the Play Acoustic to produce an acceptable harmony?
If so, can anyone share?
Thanks

Welcome aboard, I'm from Stroke City on the North West Frontier.
I've been using BIAB since the previous millennium, but no nothing of TCHelicon 'Play Acoustic' sorry can't help, but I'm sure some of the resident "Gurus" will be able to.
Good luck,
Vintage

Hi Howard, how do you have your pedal connected into your computer? Using an audio interface, or USB, or something else? Is the pedal able to provide clean vocals to the computer without effects, and without mixing it with the guitar sound?

why use the pedal? if you record a vocal track you can use the PG Music supplied Helicon software to harmonize.
and whereas the pedal output will be fixed - recorded as the pedal outputs - with the software you can experiment, go back and change and even apply separate fx to each harmony

Hello Howard B, Welcome to the forum and (soon) to Band-in-a-Box or BiaB for short.
Did you order the Mac or Windows version of Band-in-a-Box? There are differences between the two programs so the information is useful when we are answering questions.
Also, make sure to create an account with PG Music and register your product. Registration provides you with the security of online access to installation files and makes you eligible for reduced pricing during PG Music sale events.
Both versions of BiaB offer an Output Chords to External Device setting that enables BiaB to reserve a midi channel that will output root chords to an external device however the steps to access the setting differs between the two programs.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
