G,day All

I have spent the last 2 nights trying to get Realband to count in like 1 2 1234 in Band In A Box but I cant figure out how to do it. If they haven't included it in Realband somewhere I would be absolutely disappointed because it is such an important part of Livce Performance. I can delete the audio count but I need to see the visual count. Any ideas?

cheers

Have you tried the metronome feature?

"Options, Preferences, Metronome"

John,

Thank you for your reply. No the Metronome feature is of no use to count In a song when using Realband Live. I do not want the audience to hear the audible count in clicks. I want to see them on the screen like Band In A Box does. Why cant they put this feature into Realband? You cannot use Realband in a live gig situation without a visual count in if you are reading the changes from the screen like I do. Any other ideas, or is there another program that displays the chords and has a cursor that follows the chords and also shows a visual count in?

cheers

In the metronome settings try 'silent count-in' and it will become visual instead.


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

Folks aren't chiming in because this is the wish list for new features in the program. They will have figured you were making a wish, not asking for help. Post on the RealBand User Forum to request help.

But RHARV gave you the answer. Check the boxes "Play Back", "Allow Count-in before playback", and "Silent Count In". You can specify how many bars to count in and you can also make that setting permanent, which will override any metronome settings that might have been saved with a song.
