Hi

I have a completed song - 12 Audio Tracks and need to change the tempo of 4 bars in each verse (3 verses). I prefer to have a gradual speeding up over the 4 bars so could do it by Tempo in each bar increasing slightly or is there some other way?

But... I've tried using the Time-Stretching in Real Band and it just hangs up forever. Today I tried a test using only one bar of one track and set it to slow the Tempo 10bpm. It came up with a warning that it will overwrite data on the track. So I copied and pasted just that one bar into a new, empty track. Well it seemed like it was doing something but it came up with 'One Consolidated Files to Process' and nothing happened. I gave up after one hour. So it couldn't even time-stretch one bar!

I considered buying Waves Sound Shifter but just cannot get it to install in Real Band. Someone years ago posted something about waveshells etc. and I followed the instructions but could not get anywhere with that. It looks like a good program though.

Does anyone have any suggestion of time-stretching software that would work with RB? Or even better... is it really possible and feasible for me to do this in Real Band? If so, I would love to see a list of things I must do to achieve this.

The tracks are one Vocal, Drums, Bass and various other instruments. I just paid CA$750+ to have a vocalist record the vocal track and do not want to go that route again when I should just be able to time-stretch each track.

Thanks in advance.

RealBand 2017 does not have the same capabilities as 2016. RB2017 crashes every time I try to modify a mono wav file by stretching or transposing. I use the 2016 package... I wasted good money on 17

Paul,

Download and try Reaper. It's not necessary to purchase it as it is fully functional as a demo.

And here's a detail, 15 minute tutorial on time stretching.

Hope this helps,

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."
