Lately I have run into this problem many times. I import a midi song, make it 3 or more chorus and make lyrics. When I play it in BiaB, everything is correct. BUT, when I render it as Audio, the song sometimes become 2 times longer with sometimes just silence in the last half and sometimes with some playing in part of the last half. Sometimes even 3 times longer then the original I just made.

SO what can I possible overlook here? I encounter this problem just lately. Never before happen...

Trygve,

I wonder if there could be a midi event somewhere later in the song that's well past the ending?

Try opening the midi file in Realband so that each channel in the file is on different Realband tracks.

Now check to see if each of the tracks is the same length. (Realband might offer some insight that BIAB does not.)


Another test to try...

Remove the midi from the song and save the file with a new name. Now generate the backing and see if it generates at the correct length.

Regards,
Noel

IMO style and beat counts other than standard 4/4 or 3/4 can mess up the lot, also in BIAB 512. Depends a bit on the RT selected. PLS see my post about this: _HOME.STY errors - F

Thank's a lot Noel ! I will try this tomorrow and observe. Because right now I have to many shots of Tequila....;) btw, DID U KNOW THAT tequila is an probiotic drink? Yes, my gas blows have got drastically down last week after I started drinking some shots of it... And since I use seasalt only for salt, I see it as a health benefit to consume some extra salt also. Preventing dehydration also u know...;) But hey, this is probably wrong forum for that sort of things...;)

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."
