I'm using BIB ver 2020 423 on a Mac. I exported an audio file I made in Logic Pro X as an mp3 file. In Logic it was recorded in 2/4 time at 70 BPM. When I import it to BIB, I disabled the style. When I click on the time signature to change it from 4/4 time to 2/4 the signature box comes up and I click the 2/4 option. However, BIB won't change it from 4/4 time.
Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
In Band-in-a-Box when you enter a new time signature at the top (in blue lettering), a red line will appear on the bar to reflect that there is a change in the settings. But it will still show as 4/4 at the top. It will show a new time signature at the top if a new style with that time signature is loaded.
Thanks for the input. I finally found the download link for the updates.
Also, one other question regarding audio imports.
I recorded a guitar in Logic Pro X at 2/4 time, 70 bpm. When I import it to BIB, BIB sets the time signature at 4/4 and the tempo at 140 bpm.
When I tried to change the time signature and tempo match what was set in Logic, I can't get it sync. The tempo at 70 bpm is like BIB only slowed the music down. When I go into audio edit and try to change the tempo to line up with a 2/4 time signature, it increases the tempo to over 200 bpm.
Am I not understanding the audio import function or is what I'm trying to do too complex for BIB?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Generally you should set the tempo before importing the song, however if you right click the audio track in the mixer you can tell it not to conform to tempo from Track Settings. Please see my attached screenshot.
Very frustrating. Nothing happens when I right click. When I left click I get Mute, Solo, and Kill audio options.
I don't understand if Logic is set for a tempo of 70 why BIB only plays this audio at 140. If I try anything to set it according to Logic, it's gets all screwed up. Either BIB can't handle audio this way or there is something I'm not understanding.
CHRISO. try this procedure n tell me if it works. please execute steps "precisely." its a test. if i understand you correctly you want to import and run a audio file from logic at 70bpm..right ? 1. open up biab. 2. FILE>>NEW 3. SET TEMPO TO 70. and time sig to 2/4. 4. IMPORTANT >> SAVE AS named TESTER. and exit. 5. OPEN UP TESTER... DOES THE TEMPO SHOW 70 STILL ?...if so ... 6. IMPORT LOGIC X FILE. DOES THE TEMPO STILL SHOW 70 ? IS ALL GOOD ? 7. if so continue on with your work. please report back. best oldmuso.
