Hello! Currently using BIAB 2014, but have the 2015 upgrade, which I'll be doing soon.

I would like have the drum fill prior to a bar - especially the first bar (all-instruments-in sometimes sounds like a bomb). It would be nice to allow the drum - or any instrument for that matter - to do a short fill prior to the opening bar.

Or if there's a pause in the song, it would be nice to have a drum or piano-fill lead back into the song.

How are you guys accomplishing this?

Hi thickage,

For any type of fill before bar 1 ...

Go to "Opt | Preferences" and then select the "Count-in/Met" button.



Now click on the dropdown arrowhead that I've highlighted and select from the patterns/fills. From what you describe, I'd start with " 'b' pattern then fill".

Drum fills before any other bar are achieved by clicking on the bar number and setting blue or green substyles.



In the above, bar 1 has been set with the 'a' substyle and bar 3 with the 'b' substyle. Because of this, a drum fill will occur in bar 2 - the bar before the substyle change.

Hope this helps,
Noel

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.
