Hi Biglad,

How far past bar 125 does BIAB continue to play?

With your above settings, if BIAB is acting in default mode, from bar 126 to bar 127, the program will create an automatic two bar ending.

So, at the moment, your song finishes at bar 125 and then the two bar ending will occur. (Where Realtracks are involved, it's possible for bars 128 and 129 to play... these will be only a held note sound, though.)

If you want the two bar ending to start with the last bar of your song (which is what I mostly do), then set your song to 124 bars long and bar 125 will be where the ending starts. In bar 125 ('end' will be written), on beat 1, make sure that the final chord of the song is written.

Note... in relation to the automatic ending, BIAB only recognises the chord on beat 1 of the first bar of the two bar ending.

If you want to deactivate the automatic two bar ending, right-click on the chordsheet, select Song Settings and, about halfway down the menu that pops up, remove the tick from "Generate 2 bar ending for this song".

Hope this helps,
Noel

Hello Biglad,

Does the song keep playing extra bars after the ending, or does it loop around and start playing from the beginning? If it's looping back, click on the Loop button (to the right of Play) and uncheck "Loop of Entire Song Enabled" to disable the overall loop.

Hi Kallum
It plays extra bars after the stop point then returns to the start. Could it be that the soloist is still playing and I have to mute it at a certain bar.
Cheers

Biglad,

As Kallum mentioned, if the song returns to the start and begins repeating from there, the looping function is probably engaged. To disable this, select "Never loop entire song" as shown on the image below.



Regards,
Noel

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
