Can BIAB generate selected areas?

For example, I only want to generate 1bar-8bar content. Then export the WAV and put it into DAW (STUDIO ONE)

Or I only want to generate 9bar-18bar content, and then put this WAV into DAW.
How can I do this?

Highlight the area to be regenerated and do Ctrl+F8. (I think that’s it; I’m not at a computer. Look up Partial Regeneration. Might be Alt+F8).

I believe you can partially regenerate but I don't think you can export a partial track. However I'm pretty sure partial track export has been requested in a wishlist.

OK. Then I will generate all of them and cut and make the parts I need in STUDIO ONE.

This is likely the best option to generate and edit in your DAW

But for information to those who may want to complete the task in BIAB, it is possible to generate selected areas as Babymusic screenshot shows.

BIAB can generate selected regions of the Chord Sheet.
Use the Record Audio option and change the PC's setting to Stereo Mix
Record bars 1-8 on any free track
Record bars 9-20 on any free track
Export the two individual track files

Great suggestion, however not all PC's have this option - it's entirely dependent on the audio drivers. My computer doesn't have it for example.

I don't think it's entirely dependent on the audio drivers. There are other ways besides the PC audio drivers such as virtual cables which should also work. I treat it as a routing issue.

Oh for sure, I just wanted to point out that this specific "Stereo Mix" driver is not present on many PC's as it depends on whether the sound card manufacturer included such a feature. Third party drivers like Virtual Audio Cable are certainly a possibility though.

Are you wanting to generate a whole band, or a single track (like just guitar, or just drums, or bass etc)?


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
