Quote: " Ok thanks Charlie.
I think we have been around this before. There are aspects of audacity I like, and it takes me 10 minutes to "trim" and normalization ALL of my audio for any song remove, clicks, unwanted passages and stuff, and convert stereo to mono."
Yes. I use Audacity a lot too. It's a very versatile program. I recall us discussing how I use the compressor and normalize my tracks. I find it easier to trim the stereo file in Audacity than all the tracks in RB prior to merging the song into a stereo file.
I no longer move every song into a DAW so I split stereo tracks and normalize some in RB. However, if I plan to burn several songs onto a CD, I trim, label, do fade ins/outs and normalize the sum of songs in Audacity.

Tech support could not figure out my lingering problem. Since going with this Scarlett 2i2 the melody track midi in yellow is out of sync with the RealTracks -a couple of bars behind. Resetting to factory settings (all option) fixes it but only for a while, it goes back to this problem. Unchecking the use VST/DX on the Midi driver setup dialogue box made it better but still off a little then later it was back to same.
You should put this in a new post/thread. Midi playing behind is called latency and is generally a driver issue. The Focusrite Scarlett is a good interface. What driver mode are you using with it? Are we talking about BB or RB or both? Give us as much detail on your recording rig setup as you can. I am using BB for live playback only, here is my setup -ASUS X751S win 10 laptop -Yamaha 408i PA -Yorkville YX10P powered monitor -Scarlett 2i2 1st gen I use a Instrument mic on ch 1 using mixer phantom power on ch 4 I have a dynamic mic. I am going to start a new topic to continue finding a solution to my issues. "Latency and static noise issues"

latency and "static" type noises...pops, clicks, drops and scratching are classic symptoms of using either the wrong driver such as MME or not having your ASIO settings properly adjusted. A laptop's built in sound chip is not a good option in the world of multitrack recording. Be sure you have the ASIO driver installed for the 2i2. Then it's a matter of adjusting the latency and buffers until you get a reasonably good playback. Some folks have to have settings for recording and another for playback. Hopefully, you can do as I did and find a nice middle ground which works for all situations and gives low latency under 5ms or so. 10ms is about as high as you really want to see.

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."
