I would like to have something that increases the tempo by a user specified amount, everytime a Loop section (ie 8 bars) is being repeated. That would be a useful feature for many of my jazz students and I assume for a lot of other practising folks out there.
Thanks Sandra

Indeed it would. There are a few guitar practice programs I know of that have this feature. You can specify the starting tempo, target tempo, and the increase in tempo that will be applied on each successive loop.

Sandra, I just found out that this is possible. Go to the PG Music Videos page and watch the 101 Essential Riffs and Phrases video. http://www.pgmusic.com/videos.bbwin.htmAt about the 2:50 mark, you can see how to set it up so that the tempo gradually increases on each loop. Still, it's not that intuitive or easy to use... but it exists!

There is a shortcut to the new "Woodshed Tempo" feature on the "Practice Window", just at one click of you

How could it be "more intuitive"?
>> You can specify the starting tempo, target tempo, and the increase in tempo that will be applied on each successive loop.
These are the exact parameters used. (the starting tempo is just the tempo of the song), and you set the increase in tempo each loop, and the target tempo.
Have Fun!

Hi Peter, I actually learned about the Woodshed feature almost immediately after posting here. Thanks for adding that! I don't have BiaB 2012 (yet), so I can't use that feature until I upgrade. I think the Woodshed feature is great! I just think it's missing one small part. My idea of "woodshedding" is that you start slow on the first phrase of a song, and keep looping that, gradually increasing speed as you become more comfortable with it. Once you're all set with that phrase, you jump to the next phrase, starting slow again and working your way up. In a song with a large number of phrases (for example, any of the Master Solos series), you basically need to manually step to the next phrase, set up the looping, and (at least as far as I can see) reset the woodshed looping speed to its starting point. That's a lot of steps. It would be nice if there was a hotkey that could just jump to the next phrase and reset the woodshed tempo to its starting value. This would allow you to set up the woodshed feature once with the settings you like, and then proceed to learn the whole song by toggling through all of the phrases with a single key. It's actually possible to emulate this kind of behavior by using the notation window and setting up the Loop Section controls in a certain way. I posted about this here: http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=342891&an=0&page=0#Post342891Thanks a lot! My BiaB 2012 order will be placed shortly!

I posted a graphic of how this might work and shared it on my Google Documents (for lack of a better image hosting service). It's available here on the Google User Content server: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/osdJyb...ZKyJFbsSk=w1600Let me know what you think! I hope posting image links isn't violating the forum terms of service or anything. I checked the rules and it looks OK... Right?

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
