Music Length is Twice When Rendered? Weird? #12485 01/31/09 02:39 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

Why? After the 3:22 time mark, the player plays a blank.. it is playing but no sound. There is a mysterious blank portion that is appended to my WAV songs.. Any help is appreciated..

On the right hand side of the tempo speed are three buttons. The left-most button tells BIAB where your chorus starts (note, this not the same as the chorus of a song; from BIAB's viewpoint, a chorus is "once through a song before being repeated"). The centre button sets the number of bars in a chorus of the song. The right-most button sets the number of choruses. You probably need to set this one to "1" Regards, Noel MY SONGS...

I had the same problem this afternoon when I rendered an all-RealTracks song. It was rendered as a WAV file that had music for the correct length and then silence for an equal amount of time. I had unchecked the boxes that say "Include 2 bar lead-in" and "Include Drum Count in" When I did another render and then checked the two boxes above, BIAB rendered a Wav file of the correct length with the two bar drum count-off. You could see if you get the same result. This might need to be fixed in the next build John

I later found out that if in Rendering to WAV, if you "uncheck" the "Include lead in bar" it causes the problem. So, I now have this checked on. (this appear in Biab 2009 bec it wasnt there in 2008)

I was only when I made sure to check "Include 2 bar lead-in" and "Include Drum Count in" That Biab rendered a WAV of the correct length. John

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
