More often than not, when I drag and drop a BIAB song into my DAW - Cakewalk Platinum - the drum track starts with a pronounced "boom" for the first bar of the count in. It doesn't occur with every song, but it does with most. I run in admin mode. I fix it by cutting the first bar in the drum track. I would appreciate any ideas on how I can stop this problem. I assume it is a problem with BIAB rather than the DAW, and it may be something in the settings which I can change.

I really loved the opening imagery: "Summer days; the lost and found. Shades of green, an old ghost town. Voices fading. Old telephones. A changing world outside the zone." Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool chord progression on this tune. Excellent choice of backtracks. Your vocal sits in the song just perfect. Mandolin solo was excellent as well

After messing around trying it on WinBB and MacBB 2018, it crashes on MacBB 2018 as you import an audio file so as you go to play it will try and read the audio file and crash ! It works fine on MacBB 2017 so as Jim & I said earlier go to the MacBB forum and report the 2018 BUG. * Make sure you set it to 1 chorus when you record the usertracks > Edit > Song Form > Unfold, that's why the other had so many blank bars.

Hi Bob, Which version and build of RealBand are you running? You can find out by clicking on the Help menu, then About RealBand. I'm wondering what numbers are in the "Start" and "End" boxes in the RealBand toolbar, and exactly where you're clicking to generate these RealTracks. I can open any SEQ file, whether it started as a BIAB file or not, or even just hit File - New, right-click on an empty track, go to Generate - Select and Generate RealTrack, choose one, and clic

Die deutschsprachige Fly-by Übersetzung ist hier fehlerhaft. In der englischsprachigen Version steht hier -> "bb\Data\Installers\PDF995 Installer\autosetup.exe". Bei Ausführung von Autosetup.exe erscheint -> Das ist offenbar ein veritabler bug. Alternativ lässt sich natürlich jeder beliebige (freie) PDF Printer installieren.

Hi BIABman, I find Bar Settings makes a lot more sense if you think about it as a change at that bar, rather than a change for that bar. Thanks Kent PG Music

+++ HERE +++ is a technical article from Steinberg detailing differences between VST2 and VST3. The article also mentions VST3.5. It's interesting to discover the release dates of the various VST specifications. VST was 1996, VST2 was 1999 while VST3 specifications were released in 2008. Here it is, 2018 and Steinberg will finally be ending VST2 support in October. That's almost twenty years of support for a specification. While I'm very sorry to read that support for the VST2 specificatio

Hi Cubalibre, If you open the RealTracks Picker, check the box marked "Show RealTracks that are N/A" (so that you see all of the RealTracks we make), then click Copy List, you'll get a list that includes all of them. Thanks Kent PG Music

I did update windows 10 to latest build on two partitions on my main music computer and on a separate computer as well. ALl went well enough though when I started biab no sound, clicked the sound icon on the taskbar and I think it was set to heaphones, changed to speakers again and all was well. SO yes I think it is very possible it can change playback device. Otherwise went well.

Band-in-a-Box® 2018 for Mac - 45 Requests Fulfilled!
Band-in-a-Box® 2018 for Mac is here, and there's more than 80 new features! We've answered some user requests with this release, including:
Q. I am learning guitar. The RealTracks are very helpful in that I can hear great guitar players, and most of the tracks have tab and notation as well. But there is much more to guitar, could you include some videos of some of the RealTracks Artists? Because I would learn much more from seeing a guitarist than just hearing them.
A. We have a major new feature called "Video RealTracks." These work and sound like RealTracks, but you get to see a video of the Guitarist (or whatever instrument) playing as well. The amazing thing is that this works with any chord progression you type in. So, if you want to learn to play like the great guitarist Brent Mason, for example, you can type in chords to any progression you are interested in, and then hear and see a video of Brent soloing over your progression. Now you can learn much quicker, as it helps to see how a musician is performing, as well as to hear.
Q. I use the feature to make a video of the chord sheet from a Band-in-a-Box song. I use it to make backing tracks and upload them to YouTube. But these don't include any notation for the melody and lyrics of my songs. My viewers would like to see the melody and lyrics too. Is there a way you can include the melody in the video? I've tried recording this with screen capture programs, but it's time consuming, recording in real time, and the audio quality and sync are not that good.
A. Yes, Band-in-a-Box 2018 can do this now. You can save your song as a video of the notation track. So that includes the notation, guitar tab, and lyrics. And saving the whole video and audio just takes a few seconds, much faster than real time recording. Just load in your song with chords, melody, lyrics, and/or guitar tab, and press Save-As Notation Video. Your song will be up on YouTube in no time!
Q. I am songwriter and uses Band-in-a-Box to make backing tracks for my productions. I'm starting to make videos and upload them to YouTube. Can Band-in-a-Box help with my production videos?
A. Band-in-a-Box 2018 can now make videos with Video RealTracks, of the musicians performing the RealTracks. And they are playing along to your song's chord progression. You can include these videos in your own song performance, which adds a nice visual element.
Q. I use the Audio Harmonies in Band-in-a-Box. But I find the harmonies simplistic, in that they are mainly using chord tones. The Band-in-a-Box MIDI harmonies are more sophisticated, using passing tones. Why can't my Audio Harmonies work like that?
A. We've added support for new types of Audio Harmonies in the Audio Edit Window. These do allow you to choose any Band-in-a-Box MIDI harmony that has passing tones or sophisticated jazz voicings (adding 4 parts to make a 5-part jazz voicing for example). Band-in-a-Box automatically figures out the MIDI version of your melody so it uses this to create the harmonies.
Q. The new toolbar is nice, but needs more color options. Too much grey! How about skins?
A. We've added support for skins, and you can choose color or grey scale options for toolbar, mixer etc.
And more!!!
