I am getting a click or tap or whatever, at the end of many of my Band in a Box 2018 songs. The song will end and then at some random time later (1-3 beats) "click," like a lead in click but just one and real loud. I cannot figure out how to get rid of it.
Any help would be soooo appreciated!!!
Thanks!
Nate Watson

This is a known problem but it only occurs for some users, to my knowledge. I think it has to do with the count-in settings. I think what you are hearing is the start of a count-in that is partially suppressed as the song loops and starts again. But that's just a guess. For those who have it, they render the song and take the song into an editor like Audacity, where they can edit out the sound at the end.
One thing you should try: make certain your song ends well beyond the measure where you want it to end, particularly if you end on a fade. Add measures to the ending bar (Bar for End of Chorus), or the ending bar of the Tag if you use one.

This used to happen to me when I had BB 2010. I had to turn off the audible count-in.

For ex., I have just loaded the Demo of the RealStyle _DIVERSO (3/4 style).
I get an extra tick at the end of the last bar, bar# 33.
I run BIAB b520.
It may come from the RealDrum.

Hey Natewat,
We would be happy to look into this for you. You can always send an example of a project that does this to support@pgmusic.com. We can take a look and isolate whether or not this is a settings thing, or an actual issues with one of the tracks themselves.
Thanks!

Mikke -
That was a problem that had also occurred many versions back, but was fixed. Perhaps it's back. I know it happened to me, but that was many versions ago. A song would end, and then it would be as if it would start the click-in to the song again (usually just one, maybe two clicks, then stop), even though song looping was turned off. It was fixed in a maintenance release; alas, I don't recall what the solution was.

Mikke,
You can just load the Demo of the RealStyle _DIVERSO from the StylepIcker. In my case, I get this issue.
I have not investigated with other styles, but maybe some other users getting this issues could give you some names of styles or upload some songs.

We've managed to replicate the issue, it looks like the "Lead-in drum count if drums muted/disabled" checkbox in Count-in/Metronome Settings turns that click on or off (it goes away when the box is checked). We do have one machine here that never gets the click though, so there's likely another setting somewhere that also affects this.
I'm reporting it now, thanks for the heads-up!
Cheers
Kent

Thank you Kent. That’s progress from what I had described.

Ok, so I am a bit overwhelmed, but that's my fault. I've been working my Christmas songs for an upcoming gig and haven't come back to check in here. However, I have been getting the random click on many of the arrangements. I see many comments and suggestions and some input from PG Music Reps., Thank you.
What should I do to get rid of this problem?
Here's my BIAB usage. As a sax player, I'm using BIAB as my band except for drums. So, in performanced I mute drums, always. In practice I sometimes mute drums. I think I only hear the random, end-of-song click when the drums are un-muted. I use the lead-in click to set the tempo for my drummer. Also, I do not loop any songs.
Is there anything you all need me to do to help solve the issue? I'd like to help any way I can.
Thanks again!!!
