First are all of the "audio" parts of the song in your Seq file.
If so you can Click Audio at top left. Select Merge Audio and VSTi/DXi tracks to Stereo. This will create a stereo wav file containing all parts of the song.
I use Audacity with Lame mp3 encoder installed. Load the wave file into Audacity. Edit out the beginning space and end space. Maybe edit in Fade-in and Also Fade-out.
Export from Audacity as Mp3.
I just got back to this because I was having problems with something I did and sort of remembered that I asked an MP3 question before. (I searched, which lead me back here! ). Anyhow, I recorded a gals vocals to the Paola (karaoke/instrumental) version of "Blue Bayou". The gal didn't really know Paola's version so she didn't sing it quite right. Well, what I did was bought the Ronstadt karaoke/instrumental version and replaced the Paola version with it. That's when I had to do my first REAL editing. Since the vocals didn't fit with the Ronstadt version so I CUT/COPY/PASTED them to fit and they came out pretty good I must say so myself.
Then I had a problem which I found an answer to from a Google search that lead to a forum somewhere I have forgotten. It had to do with downloading the LAME .dll as neither Reaper nor Audacity worked without it. I downloaded one that was specifically for Audacity (works)_ and I read how when you download a .dll to actually stick it in the Windows system32 folder. Which I did and now Reaper allows me to do the MP3 also! But I encountered another problem. I did the usual thing of RB being in PLUGIN MODE and I dragged the 2 tracks (one at a time) from RealBand into Reaper but I couldn't get the song to start AT THE BEGINNING! It started someplace like at the chorus EVERY time! And the same thing happened in Audacity! Indeed, NEITHER programs would start AT THE BEGINNING. The song would only start at the beginning in RealBand. (I still don't know why.) So what sucked was that even though I now had both Reaper and Audacity being able to make me a MP3 file it was of no use because the song didn't start at the right place.
Then I did a search here because I vaguely remembered me asking about how to obtain an MP3 file sometime ago because there was no way to from RB by way of a simple drop down menu or "Save As" thing as both Reaper and Audacity have. I thought RB only saved to .SEQ and a few other things. But when I came back here and read what you wrote "click Audio at top left. Select Merge Audio and VSTi/DXi tracks to stereo") VIOLA!! The .WAV file was created which I could THEN bring into Reaper and/or Audacity and create the desired MP3 file!!
A question, why does RB create an MP3 file itself like both Reaper and Audacity can? Is it a licensing thing or am I just confused?)

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."
