Anyone have this problem (never noticed it before)

I purchased the new Xtra 3 pak and installed it..all went well.

I then went into the style picker and selected the choose and show user category Xtra 3 all styles.. all went well.

I then started to select and load the individual Real Styles..all went well.

I noticed that when I loaded the song demo for each style and used the play button in the style picker the t= (tempo) didn't change.

I went into the Options button and selected the Always Change Tempo to best tempo for style whenever a style is loaded.

If I select the very first style in the Xtra 3 Pak (_1Dance tempo=170) BUT the tempo remains at whatever I set it to previously (this happened with all the Styles I select).

I have to go into the Options button in the style picker and select Change 4-Bar Preview tempo to best tempo for style, although I am not using the 4-bar preview (it is unticked).

It then works as it should.

Can anyone replicate this?

George
P.S. sorry for the long winded post.
P.P.S. shows the same for All Real Styles

It is normal behavior that you must set the proper tempo when the Play Button is selected. Otherwise, it will use the default style tempo. The Play Icon below will default to the tempo of the style.

I have found the Play Button, that plays the selected style over your chord progression and tempo, to be a very powerful search feature and I've recommended to Joanne Cooper that it may be a suitable topic for her to feature in a future blog she publishes monthly.

I'll leave it to her to explain in more detail, but in conjunction with the Style Picker filters, not only can you quickly audition styles, but it is a fast, simple way to also quickly search and find suitable RealTracks or midi/super midi individual instruments that work with your chord progression.

Hi Charlie,

I think you have mistaken what I was trying to say.

Select the Style Picker and go to options and set the 4-bar to be unchecked then try to demo each different Realstyle with the play button (in the Style Picker) and you will see that the tempo doesn't change BUT if you set the 4-bar in options (in the Style Picker) and then demo the Realstyles again you will see the tempo changes to whatever the tempo (in the memo) is set as.

Xtra Pak 3 is actually showing as set# User in the style picker... that's odd.


Cheers,

fiddler,

If you go into Stylepicker and then...

1. select the "Category" filter

2. select "Choose and show user category (#1 on image below)

... it's possible to filter by Xtra styles 1, 2, 3 (or substyles within those packages).

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?

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."
