I'm trying to get a chord sheet for a song I have (MP3)
I import the song to BIAB then run ACW
The problem I have is that the first few bars are background noise from the audience before the piece starts.
Is there any way to delete the opening sequence so ACW just starts when the music starts?

Before importing the mp3 to BIAB you could easily edit the audience noise out using Audacity (free) or Adobe Audition or similar Audio editing program. Just load the mp3 into audacity, highlight the audience noise section and delete. "Save As" new file.... minus audience.

Thanks Kev! Will definitely try that, I've never used audacity yet.

Or when you launch ACW, the first thing you want to do anyway is too set Bar 1. That starts the wizard 1st the proper location.

I find this really tricky - I am always just a split second before or after so it takes ages and never seems tidy.
When I import the song the song already in the song box plays alongside the imported song. really frustrating.

If you are consistently late establishing the start, I would leave a bit of the noise in the recording when you edit as John said.

That's what I'll do. I'm just trying to get a chord sheet for a jazz piece - the performer /composer isn't that well known. Guess we all have had that experience

You shouldn't have to be a split second of so off. You can right click on the wav form and it will set Bar 1 right where you clicked. Then, you can hit F8 for the start of each bar, but you can easily move the markers after the fact to get them exactly where you want them.
If BIAB is playing a style along with the imported MP3, and you don't want that, then you need to disable the style (you'll see a red X showing it's disabled). Then you will only hear the MP3 file (played on the audio track).

Thanks J - that's sorted the problem out. Will I have to click each bar break? It's a long song

You can sometimes get it to work with just the start and a few measures. Other songs, especially those not done to a click track, may require marking each bar. You will see the song reformat with each click. Try it.

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."
