I have a song that I didn't realize stopped abruptly until I opened it in Sonar. I went back to BIAB and sure enough it did the same thing. There were 111 measures and everything just stopped suddenly. Of course it sounds horrible. Checked the settings and the option to have the BIAB ending was disabled. I selected it and it's fine, but how do you do the ending other than the BIAB generated ending? For example to have the instruments naturally fade out after the last chord?

Thanks.

Hi Nutty,

When I want a fade out, I use the DAW to do that. Firstly, I let BIAB play four extra bars on the last chord and I have the "generate ending" option turned off. In BIAB the song will stop abruptly. I then load the song as wav files into Sonar (it is also easily done in RB, although a little differently) and then I simply:

• position the mouse cursor in the middle of the end of the track and drag the track to the left so that track-length is adjusted correctly for where I want the song to finally end;
  
• position the cursor on the upper right corner at the end of the track and drag it to the left to create a fade-out.

This might give you an idea or two.

Regards,
Noel

Thanks Noel.

I'll try that.

Yup, same here.

Gives ya more control over the fade too and ya can also be more selective.
