When I drag and drop from the DAW plugin to a folder in windows explorer, all the instruments with exception to the drums export ok, but the drums have an extra "thump" at the beginning of the first lead-in count, and I have to use either Adobe Audition CS5.5 or Audacity to remove that first count along with the "thump" but to stop the other wavs from being out-of-sync, I also remove equal amounts from the beginning of each wav file, then I can use them in Cakewalk Sonar to record multiple midi tracks along with audio vocals (which BiaB can't do), then add some VST effects and when satisfied with the take, I export (mix down) the entire session to a wav file, which I then use Audacity to convert the wav to MP3.

How can I stop BiaB from creating that extra "thump" when drag and dropping the real-drums from DAW plugin to a folder?

Hi usalabs,

Do you have the latest update for 2012?

According to this link, the latest update is build 350. Your particular build will be found under the "Help" menu and then "About Band In A Box".

Regards,
Noel.

P.S. Try reducing the reverb on the drum track to zero and see if that helps. To do this, click on "Drums" (#1) and then set "A.Reverb" to zero. (Reverb can always be added in the DAW.)

I tried that and I still get the "thump".

ADDENDUM:
I just updated to build 350 and still get the "thump".

Usalabs,

Have you tried right-clicking on the Drum track (when the Realdrums are loaded) and selecting "Save Realdrums as WAV file" to see if that also produces the thump? This is an alternative to drag 'n' drop.



Regards,
Noel

yay, using the drop down on the 'drums' and saving to wav worked, no "thump",,,,hmmmm, there could be a bug in the daw plugin.

This has happened to me infrequently, including with BIAB 2013, latest build. I get a loud drum noise at the very beginning of the two-bar count in after dragging the Combo to SONAR.

I just slide the beginning of the drum track to the right to eliminate the count in. If I wanted the count in, I would have to do a little editing because the drum noise takes a bit of time to decay.

Again, this noise does not occur every time.

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

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."
