Hi, I had reason to balance certain tracks all left and one or two tracks all right. I did this on probably 80 songs. Now I want to center all tracks. I tried a bunch of things and it seems the only ways is to left click on the slider and drag it. This is very hard to do because it is so sensitive.
Is there any way to set all balances on a song to +1 or -1. I gather there is no zero or if there is the high sensitivity makes it impossible to even see. Even if I could double click on the number and get a popup box to enter zero that would be helpful (much the same as entering the song speed).
Thanks, John

double click will put one slider back to 90 (middle) Control click will put all sliders back to 90 shift click and drag will move them all one way or the other.

Thanks lambada, Ctrl+(holding left-click down) brings all of them in line so I can simultaneously drag to move them all to -1 or +1 at the same time. That is a big help (exactly 7 times better...lol...). This works for all the different sliders as well. Double click does not work for my 2016 version at all anywhere. I just tried right clicking. That brings up a popup where I can enter the number and it accepts zero too. It is unfortunate that ctrl+(right-click) does not cause that value to be applied to all of them. There is always room for improvement :-) I have noticed that when I click on the actual numbers and hold it the pointer turns into a very short vertical line with an arrow at the top and bottom. No doubt this means something. I tried a few things while it was like that to no avail. Tried dragging, keying in numbers, all the arrow keys, etc. Maybe I should say the number out loud :-) I just did a google search "Band In A Box Shortcuts". I managed to find this. Band In A Box Hot Keys It turns out that Ctrl+Shift+e reduces the selected balance slider by 1. Ctrl+Shift+r increases the selected balance slider by 1. John

John, If I'm understanding you correctly, it is possible to modify all 80 songs at once. To do this... 1. Copy the 80 files to a new folder (don't move them because you want to keep the originals in case something goes wrong). 2. Use "File >> Open" to open one of the files in the new folder containing the 80 copied songs. 3. With the song from the new folder that's now open in BIAB, set the mixer as you want it to be (i.e. pan, volume, tone, etc...). 4. Right-click on the Master track (to the left of the Bass track on the upper menu). 5. Select "Save current mix as default". 6. Now go to "File >> File Utilities >> Change all songs in current folder to Default Mix". 7. When the process opens, check and double-check that the path name is correct for the new folder because the procedure that's about to happen is not able to be undone. NOTE: If you come across the word 'Combo', this is the old name for the Master track. 8. Choose "OK/Yes". Regards, Noel

Wow is right! That's an excellent tip Noel. Can you add this to the "tips and tricks" section for others to find?
