Working on “When You Are Old” which is basically Piano and Bass, with fill ins from 2457 Celtic strings and 1856 Cello, background. SGU here -
https://app.box.com/s/ycvgbhfpgdde3vlhm0oytqww3qhtgnvx

No attempt YET to use F5 and bring 2457 and 1856 in or out – they currently play all the time. That will be fixed later.
BUT – the ending is weird. It plays out EXACTLY as I want it apart from 2457 Celtic strings which will will NOT play in the last bar – I.e – the coda. It stops playing after Bar46. All the others carry on and end as I would wish. See screenshot.
Any ideas why? I dont want to screw up the current ending and get an interminable BIAB 4 bar ending.

I don't have a complete answer to your question but just jumped in to suggest you freeze all the tracks that are correct before you proceed any further into solving the issue.

It would also be wise to do a "Save As" with a new name so you can return to the current state of your sgu file.

I don't have a clue. It also stops in RealBand with measure 46. No sound on measure 47.

Best is probably to ask support and lead them to this thread.


Side note: In my case I do get an error message loading this song with RealBand:
"- Cannot load drum style, because this folder does not exist: Drums\NashvilleEven8^\NashvilleEven8^1-SideStick,Ride [16.07.2016 09:43:17]"

But a look into the folder tree shows: This folder exists on my computer.

Hi Charlie - I havent done any "planning" with it yet so haven't frozen anything. However, I have created a copy file with slightly different name - er - just in case!

Hi GHinCH - Interesting result. The Style _CPPBSAJ.STY is a solo piano only so should NOT come up with ANY drums. BUT - when I load mine in from scratch it runs, when I hit "Re-gen and Play", with a midi Finger Bass in track1 and midi "standard drum kit" in Track3 - although NEITHER of them actually play.
Even If I change to any other Style (say midi CHAMBER style and sub 2457 in - the same result - it wont play the last bar.
Bizarre!
Ian

I just created a simple 4 bar song using only the C chord with this particular style and added RT # 2457. The strings play just fine for the 4 bars of the song but at the point of the 4 bar ending starting at measure 5, the strings cut out just as in the song you provided for us to download.

I then created the same song from scratch using style _FPBNTPS.STY Country Ballad w/Fingerpicking and added RT # 2457 and the results are the same. Totally different style-Same Problem. The strings play just fine during the 4 measures but cut out at the ending.

Finally I loaded style _CLAIRPS.STY and its associated demo song (_CAIRPS Demo - Piano & StringsCelticAir Fingerpicking Guitar) since that automatically inculdes RT # 2457 in the demo song and guess what. The strings also cut on at the ending on the included DEMO song.

Problem appears to be in RT # 2457. It does not like endings.

Give it to Tech Support and they will fix it in the next patch.

Hi guys
Thanks for all the info.looks like 2457 needs 'endings'.
I have emailed Support with a link to this thread.

I have had a great reply from Kallum and I think the culprit is the ending. See my modified screenshot -

So I could get the PIANO ending as I wanted it (and to avoid the drawn out BB ending) I set the END (at the top) to 46, and so the piano then stops playing AFTER Bar 47. Perfecto! ALL other instruments (other than 2457) also play the Bar 47 and then stop.
In order to get 2457 to play IN bar 47 I have to make the END read 47 which is not what I wanted. (I know! I know!).
I Still dont know why that is though as Kallum doesnt get this happening.
BTW - I non UltraPlus Pak and 436 Beta.

The Workaround I'm using is to run a new separate SGU with the END (in the top) shown as 47 and only "Save (this) Real Track as wav" for the 2457.
Hope that makes sense.
Ian

No matter what, a workaround should not be necessary for a small selection of RTs. All RTs should behave the same -- on all computers. (This should not only be aplied to RealTracks. smile )

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!

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."
