Hello everyone,
I just started experimenting with loop files and decided to create a new stereo loop file using two of the mono loop files that came with BIAB/Realband.
I picked two loop files and brought them into separate tracks within Realband. I panned one track left and the other track right then rendered using 'Merge Audio and VXTi/DXi tracks to stereo wave file' I then imported the rendered stereo wave file into Realband into a stereo audio track and listened to the track and could hear and see the stereo separation within that imported track.
Now with the single stereo file within Realband, I selected 'Render/Export Acid Loop' and saved it to the default loop folder.
Everything seems great, file is generated and shows up in the loop folder. If I now try to bring this loop into a stereo track within Realband by selecting 'Generate/Select and Generate Loops' the file is generated but only as a mono track.
Perhaps I am doing this all wrong and someone may be able to point out the error of my ways in trying to make a stereo loop.
Thank you in advance!
Del

Del,
Thank you for giving such a detailed description. I was able to follow your directions exactly and I managed to reproduce what you describe.
Unfortunately I do not know enough about loops to know whether or not stereo audio is supported. I've advised Support at PG Music about this and referred them to this thread of yours.
Regards,
Noel

Hello Noel,
Thanks for your quick reply and for verifying this result. Perhaps it is a limitation within the software for creating loops as you suggest.
I reviewed the BIAB and Realband manuals and also searched the forum before I posted and could not find a remedy. A quick search on the Internet said there are stereo Acid loops but I didn't verify that.
Thanks again,
Del

More testing today with several different stereo loop tracks seems to indicate that any loop brought into Realband using 'Generate/Select and Generate Loops' results in a mono loop track being generated.
The same stereo loop files brought in as 'Import Wave File' results in a stereo track in Realband.
I don't know if this is the way it has always been or if it is a new problem.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
