Hello!

I have a question.
My song has 32 bars
1. 32 bars I Play melody
2. 32 bars I Play solo
3. 32 bars I want the first 24 bars a Realtrack Solo (sax) and the last 8 bars I Play again the melody.

How I can make this, specially that the Solo is just 24 bars and not the whole 32 bars.

Thanks a lot.

Why not unfold your song to be one song with 96 bars? That's the easy way. Then you can just enable the solo for bars 65 through 88 and you can play the melody from bars 89 through 96.

And if you ever bring it into a DAW, that's how you would deal with it anyway.

Curly, to do what John said, press the F5 button at a measure where you want to mute or unmute a track. You’ll see these options in the F5 dialog box.

I agree with John. This is how I always work with BIAB. I prefer the added control that comes from have the song unfolded as a single, once-through chorus.

To unfold in 2018, the command is under "Edit | Songform".

Suggestions... if you do unfold it, don't forget to save the song with a new name first so that you can all always reload the original if needed.

There is a Custom button (right under Solo mode) in the Soloist dialog box that allows you to customize the bars where the soloist will play. I did that just recently on a file I was working on and it worked great for me.

Janet, good suggestion but I think Curly is talking about a RealTrack of a soloing sax. You could be right though.

Mine was a Realtrack of a solo sax, actually. Sax number 491.

Be sure you kill any previously generated solo before you add this one, or you will end up with 2 solos.

BTW, your music is AWESOME, Matt.

I thank you all for the answer. Yes it works easy and the best way to make all the Chorus in just one Chorus. Play in Realband cut the Realtrack as I want.
Once more thanks

Many thanks, Janet, for your kind words about my music. The CD has studio recordings of tunes that were all composed in BIAB.
