Not sure if this has been suggested already but as I'm working on a song right now it would be so helpful if BIAB would show the length of the song I'm working on in minutes/seconds? This would help me know if I need to double up on a chorus, add another verse or cut it back alittle.

I'm not in front of my machine right now, but I think it's shown on the top title line of the BIAB window.

Indeed it is

Thats great guys thanks for that but it would be nice to see it next to the bar numbers, bpm, tempo etc.

BIAB Time/Counter display

that looks great but where do you install the dll?

It says "Load into a midi plugin slot." but where is that?

In the mixer select Plugins tab > select (none) on an empty track, click none on dropdown > add vsti plugin > browse to the downloaded Big Clock.dll

Hi all

I am looking for a method to show the song length, elapsed time too.
I downloaded the BigClock VST plugin from the link mentioned above.

However when I try to add it, I get an error message it's not a valid VST2 plugin

Any other solutions or help appreciated.

thanks and regards

(1) The Song length is shown at the top of the form. I think it includes the count-in time.

(2) The Song 'progress' is shown on the Timeline scale. I never use it though because it is generally impossible to differentiate what are bars, part markers, chorus repeats, tags and the actual song position. I would prefer a simple progress bar, as per the original suggestion.

If you use the old GUI, this Timeline scale is bigger. You could switch to it for playback. Do Ctrl+T to switch back and forth.

The 64bit piz plugins are here:

Here's one I made for Biab with a 2 bar offset for the count-in.
Install ReaPlugs https://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/index.php

Save this by right click Save Target/Link As BiabClock
or right click BiabClock.txt below Save Target/Link As
then copy to
...\VSTplugins\ReaPlugs\JS\Effects\midi
(OR if you have got Reaper installed Options > Show Resource path.. and copy to Effects\MIDI)
and reajs.ini
or attachment below
to ...\VSTplugins\ReaPlugs\ otherwise it will look in the REAPER resource folder.
Add reajs.dll to an audio track in Biab
make the windows bigger and click "Load" BiabClock in the MIDI menu
once loaded "Save Group" by clicking the Plugin in the mixer
next time you need it just click the Mixer track and "Load Group"
