Can a click track be created without having to physically input each beat or measure?
What I want to do is create a click track based on an imported MP3 track, then use that click track to align the notes I play.
Help is appreciated!

Open MP3 in PT
Use ACW to create a tempo map.

Insert one measure of click notes and copy/paste however many bars you want of it (repetitions).

I have a MIDI file of a 100 bar click. It's called Click.mid and is 100 bars of side stick on every beat. It plays at whatever the project Tempo is.
So I'll usually use ACW to make a tempo map, use Load Scrap or any other way to paste this MIDI click to a blank track.

Then I often convert it to an audio track so I can easily control the volume (meaning crank it up for the drummer's feed; PGPeaklimit is quite enough for most needs).

Also in your Metronome there is a "write to track" any click you like.

Great suggestion - it worked! I created the track with the "C" note. Then, I highlighted my music track and selected "align music to click track" and nothing seemed to happen. any advice? Thanks!

You can use the Audio Chord Wizard "ACW" it's quicker and easy than click track recording.

Open the file in ACW right click on the first beat of the song to set to Bar 1, move the little bar markers to line up with the bars if they are out, as you do this the markers will automatically adjust and line up with the rest of the song.

Here's a quick video I did on how to do this, back when ACW first came out

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.

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."
