My tracks dont start at beat 1 . beat 1 seems to be a quarter beat early. This happens with all rendered tracks.in either BIAB or RB. Makes it impossible to line things up. Its almost like it has some kind of swing built in.. Any thoughts?

What is your reference point for determining that the rendered tracks don't start on beat 1? Are you saying that the instruments and the drums play out of time with each other?

I render it then I put in another DAW for mixing. Same in all DAWs. Each WAV has near 2 measure lead-in. That would be ok , except all wavs come in before the one. So lets say that we have all instruments in at measure 3. With the tempo set as it was in BIAB, all instruments are in at beat 4 of measure 2.

Hi Stephan,

I have never come across this problem and I regularly use BIAB, render the tracks as WAV files, and import the rendered tracks into Sonar Home Studio for mixing. If this was happening to me, I'd simply cut the offending tracks and paste them so that they line up. What DAW do you use?

Here is the odd thing, I have done that zoomed way out and they do not line up.. That is the great mystery. I have been doing things like you described for years and never seen anything like this.. very odd.It does in more than one DAW so... I am not sure. I believe there is a setting I am overlooking. BTW is there a way to set PPQ in BIAB 2009?

Check the BPM Tempo of the song and make sure that you set the BPM of the target host software to the same before importing the tracks.

Default BPM is generally 120 for most softwares and if your song was done at a faster clip, that would explain things starting on beat 4 of bar 2. But likely only happens on wav tracks, as MIDI tracks would line up and behave off of the MIDI BPM map.

Have you checked that when you read the rendered wav files into your DAW that they are starting at beat 1, bar 1?

Also be sure that your DAW isn't time-stretching the .WAV files by some default. I have this problem now and then in Acid and Vegas.

I had Audiostretch set to 0 I set it to 2 or 3 and it seemed to be fine then.

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."
