Hello again. You people had all the answers last time, so thanks for that. Now, I wonder if anyone can tell me how to add/ mute an instrument within parts of the song? ( i.e. Have an organ only play during a certain part of a song) . I've looked all over with no luck.

Hi,

The easiest way would be to use Bar Settings (the shortcut key is F5). Using these it's possible mute tracks at a specific bar and then return them "Back to normal" at the bar you want them to start playing at. The below video as made using BIAB 2019 so if you have an earlier version of BIAB, there may be some small differences. That said, the video will give you and insight into how to use these settings.


Regards,

There are probably two ways to do this depending on whether you are using MIDI or RealTracks in the first 7 tracks OR if you are using Audio on a Utility Track.

If the first option is the one you use, then press function key <F5> and use bar settings to mute / resume / adjust volume etc.

If the second option, then open the track in the Audio Edit Window, select the required track, and adjust volume using the Volume Automation tool or Edit tool etc.
