I know this has been discussed several times, but I can´t find the helping thread...
Problem:
I laid out the chords for a song at 130BPM, and while I searched for a nice style, I found the best fitting one is in 65BPM. When I turn down the speed of the song the chord changes should be two times faster. I´m quite sure there is a function in BIAB to solve this problems.
Any hint?
Thanks in advance

... and how can I force BiaB to use a specific Real Track instead of the one BiaB thinks is best matching the tempo?

In Realtrack picker, it's also possible to set a Realtrack to play in "Halftime". This means it will play in half the time it is designed to... thus a Realtrack designed for a tempo of 65bpm will play correctly at a tempo of 130 bpm if the "Halftime" option is selected (since notes play twice as quickly at 130 bpm than they do at 65 bpm).

Also... to deactivate the auto-substitute options, right-click on the chord sheet and select "Song Settings". There are two to uncheck.... one is related to Realtracks and one is related to Styles.

Noel

Cool. If my recollection is correct, the "Song Settings" method of deactivating these auto-substitutes applies on a song-by-song basis. If you want to deactivate them permanently so that the settings apply to all songs, it's necessary to go to "Opt | Prefs | Realtracks".

Regards,
Noel
