Hi. I am having some tracks play at a lower volume sometimes when I insert volume dots. Seems like it might be related to using too many dots? It seems to cause the track to have volume drops until I delete all dots and reinstall them. Anyone else ??

Thanks,

Hi Jay and welcome to the forum. You might get abetter response if you post your question in the RealBand section of the forum. This section is the RealBand Wishlist where you request and explain new features you would like to see in future versions of RealBand.

To answer your question there are two things I can think of. 1) try increasing the resolution of the project. 2) right click on the track then clear all unnecessary nodes.

Are these audio or MIDI tracks?

I only ask, because if you inadvertently have two MIDI tracks on assigned to the same MIDI channel (1-16), then the most recent volume adjustment on either track will affect both tracks.

Hi John. These would be audio tracks.

Make sure 'Send most recent Patch/Wheel/Controller' is enabled in the MIDI Out preferences dialogue.

You may be hearing the audio track at the volume of the last received volume message instead of the one you currently desire.
In other words, if the last volume message was 20, and you stop and rewind to where the volume should be at 120, but start playback at a point after the message to change it to 120 is sent, it may still have 20 as the current volume unless this is feature is enabled.
This makes it look back and see what the previous controller messages where before playback.

(yes I understand these are audio tracks, but the volume adjustments themselves are MIDI data)

Thanks for your reply. It was checked. I am going to try to catch a clip of this problem and attach and see if that would help me explain it better.

Maybe check the Event List and look at the Control Changes and see if you see anything significant.

If you have a set volume to start, and at (for example) bar 13 you insert a dot at a lower volume, it does not immediately drop to the new volume, but instead fades from the initial volume to the new volume.
You may need to insert a second dot at the same volume as the first right before changing it to a lower volume so the volume remains the same until you want it to change.

Could this be what you are hearing?
It is the default behavior; you need to insert 2 dots for sudden volume adjustments.

Thanks for trying to help me figure this out. Here is a short video where the steel guitar plays just like it should but when it should fade out it comes back in at full volume. Does that give you any ideas ?

Again, thanks for any ideas,

Jay

I had a little luck today. I clicked on "cleanup noodles" That seemed to take care of all the problems. Thanks again for taking to time to try to help me.

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.
