Hi All,

Brand new member- I have a song using a real tracks - I want to make it an MP3- dont know where to start- need to save as MP3 and then get onto a jump drive to put on IPAD.

Thanx

In the top menu, go to AUDIO, then "Render MIDI to Stereo..."

A window will appear with a number of options. You will probably have to experiment a few times with thee options before you get exactly what you want.

You may have to render as a WMA rather than MP3. WMA will run fine on your ipad.

Hi Bob,

Alternatively to Flatfoot's suggestion, if you have BIAB 2013, you might like to try the following. (BIAB often has more than one way to accomplish tasks!)

1. Select "File" (1) and then select "Export song as .mp3" (2).



2. When the dialogue box for saving the file pops up, navigate to which folder you want to save the song in and give it a name. (I'd choose something that makes it easy to find. The default folder is the \bb directory and it might be a challenge to find the file in there given that there are so many files in that directory.)

3. A yellow box will pop up to tell you that your song is being rendered.

4. Make sure that MPEG Layer-3 is selected (1). From the dropdown menu choose a suitable quality for the mp3 (2) - I favour 192 at 44.1 (stereo) and suggest that 128 at 44.1 (stereo) should be the minimum quality. Don't worry that the box labelled #3 says "untitled". You've already created a title when you first clicked on the "Export as mp3" option.



Hope this helps,
Noel

I've done a lot of rendering of BIAB files to MP3, and have found that BIAB 2013 makes this a lot easier.

I drop them into a folder for exported files, then get iTunes to "Add Folder to Library". I then get iTunes to fill in the relevant "Info" fields, and sync with the iPad.

Incidentally, I think that the box marked "3" in Noel's response above is intended for users to save a particular output audio format+quality in a named file for future use - this box isn't for the name of the output file.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
