Hi all, Newbie's here.

Drum patterns or piano notes from same bar keep changing randomly every time when I re-generate and play. How can I make it stable with fixed pattern?

Here is the example. Both files are actually same 4 bars of same song. But you can hear that the piano sound is different because it keeps changing every time when I re-generate and play.

Every time you re-generate, BiaB may provide a new arrangement based on your selected chords. As suggested, once you hear a track arrangement you like, select to Freeze the track. After that, it will remain consistent (unless you unfreeze and regenerate).

Also, welcome to the forums.

Thanks everyone.

Follow up question, let say for a guitar track.

Guitar pattern of bar 4 and bar 8 are different. I like the pattern of bar 4. How can I make it same for bar 8?

Because I can freeze the track only after I make both bar 4 and 8 are same. Otherwise, I can't freeze or re-generate it yet right?

BIAB is doing what it was designed to do: make different patterns each time and each phrase, as real musicians would do.

Do you have BIAB version 2023 for Windows? If so, we can help you to regenerate only parts of a song.

like so many things that is easy to do in RealBand. The two programs work superbly well together and if you've not tried RealBand (its included with BIAB for windows)you are missing a much easier way to do things. BIAB creates backing tracks. RB makes it easy to edit and manipulate them.

I find it is so much easier to do this in a DAW. So after I have my tracks generated, I transfer them all to Sonar and do my editing....copy and paste, in the DAW.

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.

Yup, this is how I was doing as well. So, we can do it in BIAB too with AudioEdit.

Found a useful function which meets my requirement.

Track Action > (Re)-Generate Part of RealTracks (MultiRiff)

With this, I can keep generating on particular bar(s) until I get the riff that I like even when the track is freeze.
