I would like to have a way for Band-in-a-Box provide a way to print the tempo on the tracks when exporting them to a .WAV files, that way when I go to mix the files, I know what tempo I orginally set the backing track in Band-in a-Box. This is really usefull for when I want to set up a delay on one of the tracks, or if I want to send this to someone to give as a practice backing track. Just as of now, I have a backing track I made for a well known steel pan tune titled Pan in A Minor, but I forgot to save the Band-in-a-Box file that I edited. Along with that, I would like to see it also print out the time signature of the tracks as well, in case I have a track that changes time signatures, or if its in cut time. which I hope PG music will add soon.

Here's an example:

As of now :Old Mcdonald _RealDrums

My Idea: Old Mcdonald_RealDrums_94bpm_4/4

The idea has merit, but a slash ('/') cannot be used in a filename, so a different character would be required.

Ok, so just have as 4-4 instead. I'll know what that will mean.

Thats is a good idea , and would be a bit of a time saver.

Do you get the option to export as 'save as' and give a custom name , or is there restrictions preventing this ?

.., another workaround could be to just rename the file once it is on your computer.

If it was loaded into a Daw , You can always use : The tap to tempo feature , and that would instantly let you know the tempo is wink
(ie; you tap the tempo button along to the beat (1 or 2 bars is enough) .., and the DAW calculates the tempo for you)
