This is a Studio One question but could apply to other DAWs.
I'm working with drum and guitar audio tracks (not MIDI), recorded from my keyboard. The strum pattern waveform of the guitar is aligned with that of the drums. For the drums, think 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 etc.
There is a spot in the song where I want the entire band to pause (or stop) for a certain number of beats and then to resume on beat 1.
I know I can cut, paste and align each individual audio track to get this effect but that is tedious. Is there an "automated" way in S1 (or any DAW) to accomplish this? I've done a few searches without any luck.
Note: I am not talking about the Stop button on the transport bar. This is about injecting a pause (or silence) on the audio tracks for a given number of beats and then resuming on beat 1.

Deb, just 1 word. Perfect!
Your video gives me 2 great options to insert the silence. Ctrl+A then Alt+X+-> works like a charm
My searches came up zero because I was searching for "stop" or "pause" instead of "insert time". Many thanks.

BT did you originally create any of the track bed in BiaB? I ask because it is simple to do that in biab and then play along to that pattern.

Great to make these discoveries of how powerful these modern DAWs are.
I am a bit surprized that "Stop" didn't lead to:
:...Stop-time, "a musical device in which the forward flow of the music stops, or seems to stop, suspended in a rhythmic unison, while in some cases an improvising instrumentalist or singer continues solo with the forward flow of the meter and tempo" which is a common expression and I think is the effect you are after.
By the way, Reaper uses "insert time".

No. At this stage of my song development I just have a drum track and a strumming guitar both produced on my keyboard as audio and recorded in Studio One. The skill that Deb alerted me to in the video she shared will pay dividends going forward. I find that half the "battle" with sophisticated software tools is just becoming aware that something can be done. Once you know it can be done, then doing it isn't that hard.

By the way, Reaper uses "insert time". I was hoping someone would broaden this to a music theory level and my instincts told me that there should be a name for this musical object. You're the man Dan, thanks for introducing "Stop-time" into my vocabulary Here is a bold claim that I think might be correct. Any musical element that one can detect in a piece a music will have a name or concept associated with it.
Is this true?

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."
