I've been trying to find a fix for the choppy transitions from chord to chord, primarily with vocals and strings and it's more apparent when there are say, two chords per bar. I'm using the latest, fully upgraded version of Mac BinaB. I know that there is a YouTube fix for this for windows but it it's intensive. At some point I seem to recall that there was a correction for this inherent in the program itself. I've use the help icon and looked into the manual but can't find what I'm looking for. Perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology which us not unusal for me.

Any Ideas?

Thanks agin for your help

Hi Hogman, please give us an example of a Style where you are hearing choppy transitions with two chords per bar.

Also, are you using the 2020 or 2021 version of Band-in-a-Box, and what build number are you currently using? You can check for this by going to Help | About Band-in-a-Box. Afterwards, near the top of that window, it will have Version 20xx and a number in brackets, that number is your build.


Best,

If you generate the vocal on a Utility track you can copy and paste the chord so it crossfades over the next chord.
So in the ACW or Audio Edit window you can generate a long chord on another bar copy the tail section and Edit > Paste (Mix) so it goes into the next chord.
Better still use the DAW Plugin in you DAW and you can do this without destructive editing giving you more control with fades and levels.

Hi Chantelle,

Firstly I'm using BinaB 2021 with update 514.
Second I'm using HSTRBAL.STY as and example. This was a random choice so I think that others will to.
Thirdly the two I'm chords I'mper bar using per bar area as follows:
Bar 1: C and F
Bar 2 Am and F
Bar 3 G7
Bar 4 C
Bars 5 to 8 are the same.

What i've done is created Vocal Mmmms on an other track. If you mute the Bass , Drums and guitars 1&2 and play it back you can hear it.

Please note however on some tracks I've used the carrot (^) on the chord prior. I have also used the thickening feature or used mulitple vocals and it seems to help. In the meantime, I'll investigate Pipelines suggestion. As i mentioned in the past I try to used as much as I can on BiaB before using my Daw. Hope this helps.

Pipline, great call. Problem solved. It took me a little bit to understand the process and it still needs fine tuning in BinaB as well as my DAW (Logic).

Thanks, sorry for the delay in responding
