Is it audio or MIDI? If audio tracks are involved I'd suggest using Realband instead.
Transfer the WAV files from the hardware to the computer. Then Import the tracks to RB. Then use Pitch shift/ Time change feature to adjust as needed.
You have RB if you purchased BiaB in the last several years, and sometimes it just does things better.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I'd like to know how to transfer songs from my Tascam 24 recorder to band in a box? Transferring files are slightly different between Tascam's DP-24 Standalone recorder and the Tascam Model 24 Mixer/recorder. You didn't specify which you have but my best guess is you have the DP-24. Regardless, the process is easy for either unit. They connect to your computer using a USB cable and the unit is recognized as a storage device and use the normal computer commands to transfer the files after you've entered the standalone recorder menu and selected the USB as a storage device. Alternately, removed the SD card from the standalone recorder and insert it into the computer. Tascam DP24/DP32 Digital Portastudio: Importing and Exporting Tracks

hitsman,
Welcome back to the forum. It's good to read that you're feeling better and are on the road to recovery.
Do you create a folder to store all the files associated with your Band-in-a-Box song? If not you may want to consider creating song specific folders. Song specific folders offer convenience and ease the housekeeping task of keeping your files straight.
Make sure your TASCAM audio file begins with two empty bars so audio is not playing during the count-in.
Before you transfer your audio file it is best to make sure the TASCAM is set to render the audio file at the Band-in-a-Box audio defaults of 16 bit depth and 44.1kHz sample rate.
Once you have the TASCAM USB port connected to your computer, copy your audio file to the song folder.
Now, label the copied audio file to match the song file name; for example greatsong.SGU and greatsong.WAV.
When you open the song file, Band-in-a-Box will automatically load and playback the audio file and song file.
Neat trick, huh?

Once you have the songs on your computer in the form of .wav files, as in, greatsong.wav you can open them in the ACW, Audio Chord Wizard. It takes some getting used to but it will create a Band In A Box chord sheet from the song which you can then choose a style, change the key, edit, and more much more. It won't be the exact same song but a recreation since you will choose a style as if you were creating your own song out of it. If you just want to change the key/pitch of the songs you can use a free DAW program called Audacity. It has a feature that allows you to change the key without changing the speed, with changing the speed or just change the speed without changing the key or pitch. I do the same with a DAW called Reaper but there's a little more of a learning curve to using Reaper.
Does the noise in your head bother me ?

You can do what has been suggested.....
or....
You can do what I would likely do which is, start over in BB. Seriously, it's not going to take you very long to lay out the chords to a song.... slap on a style and record the vocals.... I think this route would be faster, especially if you're not familiar with the details and have to edit the tracks to add blank measures up front.... just saying.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
