I know this has been discussed several times, but I can´t find the helping thread...
Problem:
I laid out the chords for a song at 130BPM, and while I searched for a nice style, I found the best fitting one is in 65BPM. When I turn down the speed of the song the chord changes should be two times faster. I´m quite sure there is a function in BIAB to solve this problems.
Any hint?
Thanks in advance

... and how can I force BiaB to use a specific Real Track instead of the one BiaB thinks is best matching the tempo?

In Realtrack picker, it's also possible to set a Realtrack to play in "Halftime". This means it will play in half the time it is designed to... thus a Realtrack designed for a tempo of 65bpm will play correctly at a tempo of 130 bpm if the "Halftime" option is selected (since notes play twice as quickly at 130 bpm than they do at 65 bpm).

Also... to deactivate the auto-substitute options, right-click on the chord sheet and select "Song Settings". There are two to uncheck.... one is related to Realtracks and one is related to Styles.

Noel

Cool. If my recollection is correct, the "Song Settings" method of deactivating these auto-substitutes applies on a song-by-song basis. If you want to deactivate them permanently so that the settings apply to all songs, it's necessary to go to "Opt | Prefs | Realtracks".

Regards,
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!

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."
