Re: Insert silence into audio track? HogTime 4 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Charlie, I didn't describe what I want to do well. What I want to do is "shift" the audio to the right by 2 beats at a particular place to get it to line up with the revised music. I found out I can do this by Edit-Copy 2 beats of "no audio" between verses and then Edit-Paste(Insert) it before the next verse. Thanks for getting me on the right track! smile Still got some problems to fix with the music, but audio OK now. Ralph

Re: Recommended audio interfaces / soundcards for use with BIAB. justanoldmuso Yesterday at 11:47 PM Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Gordon. i include mixers that have usb interfaces just in case someone is looking at such. All. 1..RE…high gain mic preamps in budget usb audio interfaces. This can be a big problem for people needing lots of gain, say 70 db or higher low noise mic pre gain at a budget level. so what ive sometimes had to do in the past is resort to a separate mic pre feeding the interface input. I am only aware of one budget interface with high gain. el gato wave xlr…up to 75db gain. https://www.elgato.com/us/en/p/wave-xlr once again ymmv/do your own testing/get a 30 day return etc blah blah. Does anyone know other budget friendly interfaces with high gain ? which might help others that might read this. i checked the ssl 2 specs…they go up to 62 db gain range.. .2..I also want to mention something re Audient as I suspect some of you think I might be biased.but actually I'm not. Among the many reasons I like audient is the following.. a major reason. We have all seen over the years people on the pg forums asking for help with new interfaces re biab and having to faff with biab driver settings a lot. Let me explain. with the audient it was a doddle to install. easiest install ive ever had. and here's the KICKER.. After install i was astonished that i had no faffing around with bb driver settings. bb ran right off the bat !! FIRST TIME. didnt have to touch the pg driver settings. Also the drivers are asio multi-client. 3..From what I'm reading people like the new audient id interfaces.but ymmv etc. What's interesting is this range uses the big commercial studio mixer mic preamps I understand. notice how they can be expanded.
Krause says on a sm7b no in line preamp is needed. but if you need very high preamp again I would check this. NOTICE IN THE VID ARE VARIOUS USEFULL TABLES COMPARING MANY DIFFERENT INTERFACES DONE BY KRAUSE. he IS very detailed in his reviews. 4..here's krause review of focusrite 4th generation scarlett 2i2.
notice in the review that 48volt phantom is global like lots of budget interfaces. whereas my audient has switches on each channel. notice the comparisons with other interfaces in his various tables. no in line preamp needed. notice his comments later on re headphone output and wrap up. frankly i think the sterling h224 interface is a very good low budget deal for just 100 bucks assuming it operates properly. (note i dont know if it's multi-client ). i have the feeling we will hear more from sterling at the budget level. I invite anyone to suggest other interfaces to help any users who might read this. happiness. om

<< The Ui24R is off-topic as it's a 24-channel mixer, not a sound card.>> It shouldn't be off-topic. The The Ui24R is a quite robust audio interface that's well suited for both this discussion and use with BIAB/RB or any DAW as a digital multi-track recorder. Mackie, Yamaha, Korg, Zoom, Behringer and Tascam all offer Mixers with USB audio interfaces that offer good pre-amps and analog mixing, digital Fx's, aux outs, Groups, Busses, and recording direct to flash drive or SD cards and multiple routing options.

I don't disagree. I'm just saying it's a lot more complicated than it may appear to many of us from outside of PGM.

The Ui24R is off-topic as it's a 24-channel mixer, not a sound card. One of Mike's (sorry, forgotten surname for the moment) observations about sound cards was the lack of gain range for use with low sensitivity mics, and indeed yours also. I note that the 4g 2i2 claims 69dB, my Ui24R claims 64 and the H224 claims 60. That suggests that the 2i2 may be notably better than either of the other two. Whether that's real or specsmanship I'm uncertain.

Update. I now have prescription hearing aids (Starkey also), since my hearing took a strong turn for the worse a few months ago. Things are better now with the hearing aids. Danielsk, you should consider going to an audiologist. Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

A good friend of mine Dr. Allen Craig, Audiologist at Harmony Hearing Center did my first hearing test and let me know I had lost quite a bit of the high frequency sound. Since I am a Army Vet I get my hearing aids for free but Dr. Allen sent me this video which is on You tube about a new product that has impressed him. Dr. Allen used to be our Front of house mixer and is also a musician himself. Starkey Genesis AI

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
