Hello, each version/revision of Band in a Box is like a fantastic Pandora box! and 2009.5 (284) is not the exception, GREAT! truly thanks to all PG team. Just one thing, despite I know Real Tracks is the prima donna getting the most of the user interest, even mine but there is an old bug not fixed yet; Audio/Midi simultaneous recording function still not working, despite I try differents audio cards/drivers, different PCs, OS etc. to myself it is an important feature since I use Band in a Box in classroom with my students with a MIDI guitar and frequently I record my guitar soloing in the audio track and wanted recording MIDI for get the guitar score at same time ....not possible because this feature does not work. Or imagine the scenario, a singer recording his/her performance in the BIAB audio track while record the MIDI performance on keyboard controller at same time, again, not possible because this feature does not work. I consider a hassle to have to export songs in a DAW (Cubase, Sonar, PT, etc) for do that, losing in that way part of the enormous versatility of BIAB real time features. I did report it by 2008 version and I remember past year Peter (Ganon) did confirm this as a bug and put it in the list for issues for future fix. There is news about? or just it lack of importance since it not seem a so requested feature ? .


This is a little IMAGE CAPTURE for help to understanding this issue.

Cheers

Carlos

Hmmmmmm

I never thought about doing that in BB, as do all that sort of thing in RealBand or PowerTracks. When I play a live audio from my midi keyboard, it will send the midi signals to another track, then ask me if I want to keep them or discard them.

If I keep them, I get the audio and midi on two seperate tracks. Kind of a nice feature in some cases.

Thanks Toucher. Good to know that, I will try it. And yes, that is the kind of things hopefully a DAW could make. However, like last measure I prefer turn to Cubase or Nuendo for that task since I am more familiarized with. I still think It could be great if BIAB get fixed the bug since that is an official included feature in the program.

Yes, this confirmed bug in BIAB needs attention!

Carlos, my bad, I did not write this one down to a file so that I could check it out during the recent beta test of 2009.5. --And I meant to do that--

Keep in mind that Real Band is not just a DAW. It's a combination of Biab and a DAW. With only a few exceptions, you can do everything that Biab can do in Real Band plus all the normal DAW features. It will open Biab songs as well as create new tracks using Biab styles. This is in addition to it's being a good audio/midi sequencer. It's certainly true that this is a bug and needs to be fixed but if you can do what you want in RB only much better, who cares? In the last few weeks I've written a couple of very detailed (probably too detailed, sometimes I tend to run on a little) descriptions of what RB does. If you're interested, do a forum search of my name, you'll find them. Others of course have posted some very good things about RB too, it's well worth your time to read up on it.
