hi,
I'm trying to sync BIAB with a DAW (Sonar 6). I don't mind which is the master as I just want the chord window to scroll through the song in BIAB, so that I can see the chords as I record guitar into Sonar. Using a midi virtual hub, I can use BIAB as master to start Sonar running via midi sync, but when I stop BIAB, I have to go back to the start of the song to sync up again. Not very useful if the part I want to record is in the middle of the song. I think what I need is called 'chase and lock' midi sync, so that I can start the song at any bar and both systems will sync together.
So, is this possible with BIAB? Or, Realband if not BIAB? I have 2009.5 of both
I do record audio into Realband and the functionality is improving all the time, but I'm a long-term user of Sonar and would like to get this sync working if possible as it suits my current working method
thanks & regards,
Martin

I don't think this can be done but I'm not sure. If I understand you correctly, you just need to see the chords while you're playing? You can print the chord chart from Biab or use Real Band for this.

Hi Bob,
Thanks - yes I do just want to see the chords but I need to see them with the moving cursor as I always seem to get lost trying to follow a paper score. At the moment, after I have imported my rendered song wavs into Sonar, I type the song chords into the lyric sheet of Sonar, which then highlights them as the song plays. I also have to set up the song part markers again in Sonar. Obviously, both these are duplication of what I have already done in BIAB and as my time for music-making is limited, I would like to avoid this duplication if possible.
Being able to sync the two applications together would open up many other opportunities as well.
regards
Martin

Hi marcost, that is great!. Myself has attempted to sync Band in a Box with Cubase, the DAW I am more familiarized with, what I am looking for is to transmit on fly each BiaB track via MIDI to Cubase in order to use different virtual instruments and sampler libraries and get instant feedback in the sound side, aside of the best multi-track features. I use a midi hub too, and it is possible to listen everything from BiaB in Cubase, but not a complete success cuz the lack of sync ability in BiaB. Now I will try with Real Band and the SMPTE feature. Nice! thanks.

Hi Jazzpick,
no problem, I hope it works for you too! You'll also be able to generate lots more MIDI instrument tracks in Realband than BIAB, so even better!
regards,
Martin
