hi to all i have watched the tutorial on how to make a user track and i am confused i have biab 2015 on an external hd . i have followed how to get to the user track folder c/bb real tracks, user tracks,user track templates. when i open the user track folder there is a 1 minute template pop /jazz in there but only SGU and PDf and the same for the jazz template. the part i dont understand is in the tutorial there are 3 folders and he tells you rename the folder pop user track 1 minute template but i dont have it to rename. what part have i done wrong ? thanks tj
You save the SGU in: X:\BB\RealTracks\UserTracks , in this folder you create a New Folder and name it your instrument eg: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Pop Ev 120
now you have BB\RealTracks\UserTracks\Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Pop Ev 120
you open that folder and save the SGU in it
Guitar Electric Rhythm Pop Ev 120_Pop 1.SGU
if you do more from the longer templates: Guitar Electric Rhythm Pop Ev 120_Pop_1_A.SGU Guitar Electric Rhythm Pop Ev 120_Pop_1_C.SGU Guitar Electric Rhythm Pop Ev 120_Pop_1_G.SGU Guitar Electric Rhythm Pop Ev 120_Pop_1_E.SGU Guitar Electric Rhythm Pop Ev 120_Endings.SGU
a wav file with the same name will be saved with each SGU, this wav file is your recorded track.
Now if you Generate UT you will see "Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Pop Ev 120" in the list.
A 1 minute Template won't give you too much, you will be better making a longer one.
Pop UserTracks Advanced Templates
Making advanced UserTracks is basically exactly the same process as making UserTracks from the basic 1-minute template. The only difference is that instead of recording one song, you record multiple songs. The benefits of recording the longer templates are:
More material recorded means more variety from bar-to-bar when the UserTrack is used. Both major and minor endings will work. More chord types are included. For example, if you're using a UserTrack made from the 1-minute template, if a user enters Em9, it will simply play Em. But, if you've recorded a longer template that includes m9 chords, you can make sure it actually plays a m9. Commonly used Slash chords are included, for example C/E, G/D, Am/G.
10-minute template: Pop UserTracks 10 minute template.zip This template is approximately 10 minutes of total recorded material at a tempo of 120bpm (the time increases with slower tempos, and decreases with faster tempos). With this template, in addition to major, minor & 7 chords that are included in the 1 minute template, it also includes diminished & sus chords, and also has more material for chords that last for 4 bars or longer.
20-minute template: Pop UserTracks 20 minute template.zip This template is approximately 20 minutes of total recorded material at a tempo of 120bpm (the time increases with slower tempos, and decreases with faster tempos). With this template, in addition to everything in the 10-minute template, it also includes additional “fancy” chords such as m7b5, aug, etc. It also includes more material with maj, m & 7 chords for added variety in your UserTrack.
30-minute template: Pop UserTracks 30 minute template.zip This template is approximately 30 minutes of total recorded material at a tempo of 120bpm (the time increases with slower tempos, and decreases with faster tempos). With this template, in addition to everything in the 20-minute template, it also includes many more chord types, such as 7b9, m11, etc. It also includes commonly used slash chords, such as C/E, G/D, etc. Finally, it also includes some jazz chords used in a song context.
Endings, Shots & Holds Template: Endings Shots & Holds.zip These are simple to make, don't take long and are worth doing.

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.

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."
