Hi,

I have been a band in a box user for many years and versions, using mostly the basic arrangement functions, with some forays into features like the auto chord wizard and making use of lots of the various realtracks for the purpose of generating backing tracks for practice.

I recently discovered the artist performance tracks with vocals, and those seemed like an excellent tool for practicing fills in a band situation. After playing the track "Can't Get Hold Of You 85 blues fem F _LOWAVES.MGU", I can't figure out how the soloing resonator guitar is dropped in and out of the appropriate spots. First I assumed the F5 feature was used, but I see no signs of that. Then I recalled hearing about the "volume automation" feature, but after watching a tutorial video on how that gets used, I don't see any signs of that in the audio edit window.

I was wondering if someone could point me to what I'm missing here? I'm either in the wrong screens or modes or something, because I can see the notation and waveforms of the guitar 3 track that would normally be stomping all over the vocal.

Thanks,

Dave

There are F5 setting turning the volume down on Guitar 1 and mute Guitar 3 that is a frozen track.

That's it! I missed the volume button... I thought I had tried it, but maybe I had already messed it up hunting and poking around. doh...

I appreciate the direction.

thanks,
Dave

They could used Alt+F8 and just freeze the track to add sections between vocals.

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.
