Well......justl loaded and using and love it! One annoying glitche so far, is that attempting to refer tracks to wav so I can import to studio one daw, starts midway through the song instead of beginning. I notice that there is a timeline in the menu with various points of start. This is probably the cause, but nowhere can I find how to disable the time line. Or is the cause perhaps some other reason? Manual and online help is no help. All suggestions are appreciated
How are you rendering your wav files? I've not seen where it starts in the middle of the song. It always starts at the beginning for me. And I'm not sure what you mean by the time line, unless you are somehow trying to use the ACW feature (which is used to figure out chords from WAV files, not to render WAV files).
If you could post some screen shots, that would help. Just select "Switch to Full Reply Screen", and you can post up to five jpg images per post.

Thanks for the reply. Its the white rectangular space to the right of the save buttons.....right below the transport buttons. It has several vertical lines, blue or green, which I believe are points where you can start the song. In my case it wants to start it in the middle. I've exported other songs without issue but this one has me stumped. Thanks again
Figured out how to remove markers in timeline.....but discovered this is not why song won't start at beginning when rendering to wav. It does render correctly "once in awhile". But most often it starts in the middle of the song. It has to be a setting but still can't find it. Thanks for any help

The timeline you mention doesn't control anything. It's only a condensed display of the chordsheet and the number of choruses so that a user has some indication of whereabouts in the song they are at any point in time.
In relation to rendering...
Have you been playing around with the Soundtrack Generator (under "Melody" on the main menu)? I've just been investigating this, and it seems that it can impact on normal behaviour.... I'm presently trying to work out how to control that.
Also.... when you click to render the file to WAV, have you tried selecting the "Defaults" button in the render dialogue window before rendering?
Thanks for the response Noel........no I have not tried the defaults but will do as you suggest. It's strange because it was working fine, that is, a song with 6 tracks that rendered to wav for daw import. The only setting I changed was auto to stereo, and another time to mono. .....one wav per track and all else default.
It's the same settings I've used successfully before.
I just checked and confirmed it is build 459. I downloaded 464, but several attempts to install just crashes the system. I will keep trying an report back. Thanks again
I apologize for not getting back to you on this (although Matt and Noel are offering fine help) after saying I would.
I have unfortunately been spending my non-work hours helping my wife deal with shingles (and I don't mean the kind on your roof). She's been a lot of pain, so BIAB took a big back seat.

Sorry to hear. I'll keep a good thought. Thank you for getting back

Where are the files stored......I looked in my download folder and they are not there though 66mb did download somewhere, and yes I do have bb on a USB pdrive
I successfully updated to 464 and and so far the rendering to wav portion seems to be working.
A new issue has surfaced though......now there are no files after rendering. I'm sure this is just a setting again, but tracing my steps I don't see it. I did notice that the midi rendering that precedes the wav render yields a file with 0K size.....could be this.
Anyway thanks for all your help.........off on the hunt. In spite of these burps I really do like this program. It is a great tool for writing

Larry,
I don't know of any midi rendering that precedes audio rendering. Could you elaborate a little more on what you see that leads you to this conclusion. I'd like to give what you are doing a test run.
If I recall correctly, you are using the below option to render am I right?
Yes, I've tried using both the method you describe above, as well as picking from the main "audio and render to wav" menu.
One issue I'm having is the files are not saved where I direct it to go........but they do show up under \bb which seems to be where it wants to put them. Ok, I'll deal with that later. Here's the sequence
Select wav save as, or audio, render to wav Choose (where I want to save files) in audio file menu One wav file per track Auto (Re)-Render to WAV file
Here’s what happens
After a couple of seconds a message comes up saying Rendering of MIDI is completed. (btw.....not using MIDI at all) File saved is named C:\bb\.......etc\my file name. FileSize is 0K
I say ok and it starts rendering Sometimes it doesn’t start At beginning ….rather in the middle somewhere
I admit to being a novice with this program, but it seems I get different results with every attempt. Manual and online no solution
