The goal of band in a box has always been since over 25 years ago when I started using it is to teach musicians how to better play music of any size. Any decent semi-pro or professional musician will tell you while they spend hours practicing, the most common way to learn a larger work of music is to break it down the smaller sections and at slower tempos. While looping a section/passage for drilling there needs to be a Count-In feature that "Counts-In" 1x per/loop.
This is crucial for 2 MAIN Reasons: 1. When you highlight the BARS/CHORDS to Practice, then press F10 Shortcut Key to begin Loop there is NO TIME to get your instrument/mind situated before beginning to play
2. In similar fashion as above when you are drilling passage into the ground and need a break in between each loop for you to recompose yourself before attempting to repeat the selected loop/passage.
This is another reason for a Count-In feature while looping. All you musicians and BIAB lovers out there... Your support is vital to the successful implementation of this feature. Please and Thank You!!
Thanks VT you are correct and I found my post in your thread with the 38,000 views, I forgot I made this: Count-In based on actual time-signature of first bar This can be modified easily with an F10 button under the Start button to count-in and play the selected loop section:
If you are running Biab As Administrator: To run script only .ahk install https://www.autohotkey.com/ and set AutoHotKey.exe to Run As Administrator To run .exe set to Run As Administrator
This uses the system audio for the count-in beeps so if Biab is set to use the same Audio Device, un-check the Always On in Device Driver.
Hello I've just joined the forums. I recently upgraded to BIAB 2020 for Win10. This loop count-in sounds like just what I want but I can't figure it out. I can download it and get WinRAR to open it but it's still an .mp4 video file which VLC player tries unsuccessfully to play. How do I add it to BIAB? Thanks - sorry if I'm being dumb.
A "Count-In while Looping" function as described in the beginning/start of this thread would be very nice to have. Would be very useful when practising.
