"Equalize Tempo allows changing a recorded legato song to a fixed tempo." I don't understand what PGM is talking about with changing a recorded legato song to a fixed tempo. Legato has nothing to do with tempo, it merely means "smooth." Are they talking about "rubato" which literally means "robbed" and is where the performer plays a bit faster and a bit slower at times so the tempo varies? If so, they should use the correct term. It's possible to have varied tempos in a staccato song, as long as it's played rubato. Will that new feature not work on staccato songs which are played at an uneven tempo?

It's possible to have varied tempos in a staccato song, as long as it's played rubato. Will that new feature not work on staccato songs which are played at an uneven tempo? My take on what PG Music is meaning is that unless a musician is playing with a click track or metronome, it's more than likely that the recording will be give and take in the tempo department and not kept strictly to time. It's not really rubato nor ad lib as both of those are much more obvious than small tempo variations that can result in some performances. It's in this sense that timing can be unified using this new addition to BIAB. Regards, Noel

Does the BIAB 64-bits app load/run the 32bits Plugs-in VST ? Hi Vicente, J-Bridge, sold by PG Music for $10 and if it is installed, should provide the bridge to allow 32-bit plugins to run in BIAB 64-bit. Alternatively, you could simply start BIAB 32-bit and use that with the 32-bit plugins. The below site explains how jbridge allows 32bit VST plugins to run in a 64-bit environment. https://jstuff.wordpress.com/jBridge/Hope this helps, Noel

Hi Wendy, Before the clock runs out, even though your next post sounded like you'll (probably?) be buying 2020 anyway, could you list your top three to five "niggles?" I'm sure you'll get many honest detailed answers but in fairness we need the question(s). (unless you're thinking the folks here are Carnac the Magnificent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRTtLvKAKgk  ) That will really give focus to areas of primary concern, beyond the generic and fairly large "arranger" category. Larry

Larry Not sure about Wendy's "niggles" but you can spend all day (and prolly a lot more) reading about all of our "niggles" right here, https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=1&page=1and here https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=9&page=1You'll find a lot more than three to five things that need fixing and have been around awhile!

Larry raises good points. To assess your needs we should know more about what you mean. I’m an arranger and I only know what that means to me. There are all levels of arranging.

I don't understand what PGM is talking about with changing a recorded legato song to a fixed tempo Yes, that was a typo, it should read "rubato"  Edit: Actually a more accurate description is: If you have an audio file that wasn't recorded at a fixed tempo, you can change so that the tempo of the audio is all the same. We call this an 'equalization' of the tempos. https://www.pgmusic.com/manuals/bbw2020upgrade/chapter3.htm#equalize-audio-tempoThis is pretty powerful feature of the Audio Chord Wizard, AND is very easy to use - in the Audio Edit window, just click [Equalize Temp] button and enter the tempo of your song. So now BB doesn't need to make a complex tempo map throughout the song.

Hi Noel96,
I've been used jbridge on BIAB2018(32bit) to load the VTS Plug-ins 64bit.
As you said in your post, If I run BIAB 2019/2020 64bit, I must use jbridge to load the 32bit VTS plug-ins ?
The 64bit BIAB App. won't load 32bit VTS. What a pain!

The 64bit BIAB App. won't load 32bit VTS. What a pain! Most if not all 64 bit programs will not load 32 bit VSTs. My old Sonar and my current DAW, Studio One Pro, will not load them either. You have jBridge.
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

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."
