I click on Opt.>Count-in/Met.>
1. I uncheck Allow leadin bars.
2. Play leadin even if Intro present
3. Audible Leadin.

Works for me...You can simply uncheck Audible leadin
and you'll have a nice short silent leadin period.

Might be a better way but ?

I have clicked on Count-in/Met and uncheck Allow leadin bars. But the thing is, there is no moment of silence when I click on play. When I click on Play, BIAB start immediately in playing Bar 1.

Actually, I need a moment of silence b4 the first bar is actually being play. Anyone got any suggestion? Thanks.

Btw, I am using BIAB 2009.

You can set things up in the Countin options such that the stick tap is silent but you still get the graphic number countdown onscreen.

Hi Mac,

May I know how do I do that? How do I make the stick tap is silent but you still get the graphic number countdown onscreen? Thx.

In the Count-in/Met preferences,

These should be checked:
- Allow lead-in bars
- Play lead even if intro present

Uncheck this:
- Audible lead-in

In the drop-down for Visible Metronome:
Lead in only...

(At least that's how it works in Band-in-a-Box 2011.)

Hi Cychan7570,

To implement Jim's directions, go Opt | Preferences and then click on the "Count-in/Met" button.

All the best,
Noel
