Dear PG Music Community,

I exported a MIDI FIle with Real Tracks. Here the Bass Notation is available. (See attachment)
If I open the MIDI File in some other Notation software, the only track I have here in Score View is the drums track.

So:
Is the notation I have in BIAB not available in the MIDI File when using RealTracks?
The problem is that there are several notes in the TAB that are not really playable position wise in the Bass Track, which I´d like to alter manually. Most of the time you have the high on the bass on 12th fret on a String rather thatn 2nd fret on g-string some notes in the tab are missing, too (please see attachment, too)

I have the 2012 Band-in-a-Box UltraPlusPak...

Thx for your help!
Best regards
Tim

Hi Tim,

Realtrack notation is a consequence of someone having sat down and transcribed an audio file into a midi file. This midi is then used by BIAB to show notation for that specific Realtrack.

Thus, according to the image you've posted, when you saved the midi file, you should have had midi information for Bass, Guitar and Strings saved (since these have notation associated with them). Midi drums will also have been automatically substituted for the Realdrums so they too should have been saved.

From what you have written, it sounds like only the midi drum track is seen when you open the midi file in your notation software. If that's the case, it's most likely due to your music software only importing a single channel of information.

Midi channels used by BIAB can be found under Opt | Preferences | Channels. As the image below shows, my settings are ...

Bass track = midi channel 2
Guitar track = midi channel 6
Strings track = midi channel 7
Drums track = midi channel 10



If only the midi drums are showing up in your music notation software, it suggests be that only midi channel 10 is being imported.

Another possibility that springs to mind is that the song was not properly generated before you saved your midi file.

I hope I'm on the right track because I was a little confused when I read your initial post.

Please let me know the outcome.

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!

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.

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."
