Now cranachan ... that's a proper Scottish dish! (Despite my name, I'm mostly English.) According to ancestry DNA I am mostly Scottish, with English and Irish thrown in . . . I had never heard of Cranachan until this post but I'll be giving the recipe a try this weekend . . . As for the hardest instrument, I taught myself guitar, bass and mandolin. I am trying to teach myself banjo right now and it is the hardest instrument I have ever tried to learn.

I sent a song via email to a friend. When the file was opened the audio track I recorded on my guitar was missing from the song. So do I need to attach the wav file created by the audio track to my email as well? Yes, and when your friend opens it, he will have to leave them together, without changing the name of the Wav. Is there a better way of sharing songs created with friends? Great thanks

Select the 6 bars of your guitar track in the Audio or Notation window, copy them (Ctrl+C), then manually paste them 10 times (to cover 60 bars) consecutively into the relevant track. This avoids global repetitions of the song that affect all tracks. Cheers I'll give it a go Yep that works  Just trying to get my head round the looping funtion now

So my experience has been mixed but in the end it has work very well. The big issue for me was coming to realize that LoopMidi conflicts with the MS MIDI. LoopMidi has to be deleted, then send and receive endpoints have to be set up in the MS app. Once that was realized and done, the new MS app has worked fine for me. Jeff

thanks for the replies. I'm pretty new to BIAB and I'm trying to help a non tech friend to use the software. I'm tring to loop a 6 bar track I have recorded on guitar which I want to repeat throughout the 60 bar song. This is just to save time and not record the full 60 bars on my guitar. Perhaps I'm being lazy but I feel that this software must be able to do that? Edit I've had another go and I can get the 6 barr section to loop BUT it loops all the other tracks too. Can I loop a section of a single track only?

Update: If you have 2025, then the looping option will be within the transport controls, but in a different place to what I have shown above.

Noel's on the money here (no surprise). Perhaps looping the entire song is enabled. Check your configuration on this setting: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32437&filename=2026-03-24_18-34-24.jpg)

Torrey, This is definitely Bluegrass/Pop-Rock/Gospel. It's a different genre from your usual songs, but it still clearly reflects your individuality. The swaying rhythm and simple, beautiful, and memorable melody make this a wonderful song. Your vocals and guitar playing are as strong as ever. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Hi Steve. Just to clarify... What kind of looping are you meaning? In BIAB, the looping that you are referring to is for BIAB to loop a previously set number bars. This kind of looping is designed for practice purposes. Is this the kind of looping you had in mind or are you after a guitar loop that will play throughout the whole as part of the accompaniment? --Noel

It's pleasant and relaxing with unexpected chord changes that add interest. Band in a Box does all sorts of amazing things with our own original tunes. You put it together very well! John

You're ahead of me, Mick. I haven't tried bluegrass. You've got the melody and very appropriate instrumentation and sounding very good! Just one experiment you might try: bump up the tempo from 100 to, maybe 130, to make it sound like they're playing the heck out of it!

Any poorly made instrument is hardest to play. Aside from that, I've been playing guitar for 45 years and I'm still a novice because my coordination is so poor. I cannot strum both directions and my playing always sounds sloppy. I use the guitar for writing songs but not for recording. That's why Band in a Box revolutionized my being able to make music out of the songs I write.

I'm trying to loop a track of audio I have recorded myself on a guitar. I`ve highlighted the section of audio within the track that I want to loop and clicked on "loop selected area" It sort of loops but still plays the count in and then continues to play other tracks for a bar after the selected section and then loops back but once again loops the click intro. I'm thinking there must be a setting somewhere but I can't find it. Can anyone help?
