I've taken a look in the FAQ section but my push doesn't seem to behave as it should,

When I try to have a note played a little earlier, and I use the ^ sign, all it seems to do is make the drums go louder/crash in that spot, but it seems to play the notes the same and not any earlier.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm doing dream a little dream, some old version and it has a push

Thanks again!

That sounds like it isn't working right.

Try Opt. menu, Return to Factory Settings. Then exit BIAB and restart it. See if that fixes it.

Hi!

I tried the reset but no luck. Such a weird issue!

OK, good you're sticking with it, and reporting back.

This is unlikely, since you just reset to factory default settings, but please check this one thing: in the menu Opt., Preferences, Arrange, there is a checkbox that says Allow Any Pushes. It's five down from the top left. Is that checked? It should be.

If that doesn't help, one step you could take is to post the song, so we can try it. You're new here, so forgive me if you know this:

First, freeze the tracks and save the song. See my post in your other thread about how to freeze/unfreeze; you did it once. Then find a place on the Internet, like Dropbox, where you can upload your song. Finally, provide that link here for us to download it.

And, it always helps if you can tell us about your system:

laptop or desktop

Windows, I assume, but what version?

what version of BIAB? Up to date? Do Help, About and report the build number.

what are you using for sound?

what style is your song using? A few might not allow pushes, though I assume you have an easy swing style for that song, and it should.

Hi Matt! And thank you, I will try this setting!

I hope to get the last few things cleared up so I can contribute rather than take from this board!

Thanks again,

Hi all, and Matt!

I tried Options/Prefs and ensuring allow push on but no luck,

I really need to figure this out so i thought I'd follow Matts instruction and post it here:

My issues are:

i cannot get the program to switch notes on the offbeat. The push seems to have no affect.

the only thing it affects is the drums which seem to crash on the offbeat or something, but its too much and too loud!

** My example included is SO SIMPLE. When I play the attached file it only changes notes on the 1,2,3 or 4. No matter what push I insert

Thanks for all everyone


Matt's suggestions:

First, freeze the tracks and save the song. See my post in your other thread about how to freeze/unfreeze; you did it once. Then find a place on the Internet, like Dropbox, where you can upload your song. Finally, provide that link here for us to download it.

File is here:

And, it always helps if you can tell us about your system:

laptop or desktop

It is Windows and a laptop.

Windows, I assume, but what version?

Windows 7


what version of BIAB? Up to date? Do Help, About and report the build number.

It is version 2014 build 384

what are you using for sound?

audio interface to amp


what style is your song using? A few might not allow pushes, though I assume you have an easy swing style for that song, and it should.

Yes, DIXIEL2.STY (doing dream a little dream)

Even if someone could send me a file that shows a change that's not on the 1,2,3, or 4 that would be great!

Tried to download. that site looks like a mess of "adware". I tried to download help_3, but nothing happened. And nothing else looked like it was safe to download from that site. Is that the best you can find? Maybe its just me.

May I recommend you set up a free dropbox account. It works really nice.

This is what I see in your first two bars



After I verified that each of the RTs had [shots, holds and pushes] Look here:


I have these for each Real Track
RealTracks in style: ~1618:Tuba, DixielandFast Sw 165
RealTracks in style: ~1615:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm DixielandFast Sw 165
RealTracks in style: ~1614:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm DixielandFast Sw 165 RealTracks in style: ~1613:Banjo, Tenor, Rhythm DixielandFastA-B Sw 165 RealDrums in style: Dixieland^2-a:Brush LH Drag, b:Brush Ride


And this is what I hear.


or actually could be this


So to my ears I believe I am hearing exactly what it is supposed to sound like. Only the drummer treated it a little unusual with a extra hit on the push, but I suppose that is what a drummer would do. Is this what you are getting? A definite: da da da da \ da da dada

Exactly what I want to hear, but when I play it in my BIB, it is all quarter notes. Zero eighth notes are heard.

I can see the notation but it just doesnt play anything but quarter notes.

It makes me think I should reinstall or something?

The notation is not effected by pushes. Since it is a RT the notation is the original transcription. You will not see a change in the notation. The notation I showed above was written by me in other software just to illustrate what I was hearing.

But you say you do not hear the eighth notes. So that's a problem. Did you look to see if you have the shots,holds,push audio files.

I think jazzmandan is onto something. The shots and holds is a different file in updates. Check the RealTrack updates and make sure you have all you should, and have run the download.

Jeez guys, it looks like perhaps I never installed the pushes, sorry for the rookie mistake.

I found these files:

realtracks_shots_holds

And I'm imagining the pushes are in these files as well?

Thanks!

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."
