Drums muted, but still get a cymbol hit on chord holds #51399 12/22/09 02:47 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

OP Ricky Harris Apprentice R Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 122 Nashville, TN, USA	I did a search and couldn't find an answer that I could understand given my tech cluelessness. I am getting a cymbol strike whenever I have a hold, even if the drums are muted. Is there a workaround for this? I've tried every option I could come up with over the last two hours but haven't found anything. Also, is there a way to get an instrument to hold as the end of the song and ring to the end? I can't seem to figure out how to pull it off. I've tried, shots, holds, rings, adding bars, muting bars...but haven't figured it out. Thanks to all for your excellent help.

I've tried every option I could come up with over the last two hours but haven't found anything. I have griped about this from time to time. The problem is that BIAB treats a Hold and Shot the same way for RDs. Why the hold is still heard regardless of a mute instruction is unknown to me. Try this workaround. If you don't want any drums to sound at the hold, using the Bar Settings (F5) mute the drums. Then enter the hold chord excluding the drum part C...d. Be sure to do the reverse Bar Settings when you want the drums to start back up. Quote: Also, is there a way to get an instrument to hold as the end of the song and ring to the end?

I've been frustrated about this for quite some time. Jim Psalm 33:3 Sing unto him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.

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.
