Hi all Looking for some help I am trying to import an mp3 into the ACW of BIAB 2022 version. So far I have Went to File ,Open Open Special,Open Audio Import ,Import Audio THE IMPORT AUDIO File BOX comes up with the destination track and import audio to this time in the song,
But no audio actually is imported .What am I doing wrong?thanks in advance Hugh
Thanks , Yeah i tried it in realband but it doesnt have the same features as BIAB and realband is so cumbersome when you are using another Daw ,in my case Reaper,Maybe there is a video but I cant see one ,H
It is a two step process. First import the MP3 file into the Audio track of Band-in-a-Box. Second access the new Audio Chord Wizard through the Audio Editor.
I found two video tutorials on YouTube. +++ First +++ is a ten minute PG Music tutorial. +++ Second +++ is a thirty five minute tutorial by user Henry Clarke.
It's working fine for me in BIAB 2022. This has been an issue in some earlier builds in 2021 versions for some users. I'll report it to the developers.
Thanks Guys , I did the 918 rebuild and it did the trick.It was allowing wavs in but not mp3s. So I have the mp3 showing now in the ACW which it wasnt before ,great I can have a look at those videos now Jim and follow along ,H

Just as a note I think that there's a HUGE difference between my video tutorial and the one in BIAB. My Tutorial takes the song from MP through Audio Chord Wizard and demonstrates how the song can potentially be rebuilt with RealTracks. So just using number that BIAB's is 10 minutes and mine is longer does not really compare !!
I'm sorry you feel I presented your tutorial in a bad light as that was not my intent. I apologize if I offended you.
In my defense in my quick YouTube search for ACW tutorials the two main pieces of information available are video title and video length in time.
Please note I subscribe to your channel. I also "like" each video I enjoy. The highlighted areas in the screen shot below shows the title and time for both the PG Music video and your video.
Yes, your video does present much more information than the PG Music video. But neither the video title or video description note the additional information.
FWIW, I took Jim's post to mean there's a quick PGM video and a more in-depth Henry video.

Jim, Honestly there's absolute no offense taken so If I came across that way my sincerest apologies!! It's all good. You guys are great to me !!!
Yep, it came across that way. On offer, from Gentleman Jim, was a quickie and a longer, probably more in depth way to learn what was needed. ANY interpretation otherwise suggests comprehension issues if not paranoia.
There is no need for a defence Jim, none whatsoever.

And as usual Ray wants to interpret what one is thinking. Ray, you just need to give it a break !!
