Hi Trax

Thanks for your helpful comment

(.) will rest

Such as G.. will cause ALL instruments to do a shot
G..bd will cause all except (b)Bass (d) drums to do a shot

And the (^) will cause an 1/8th push (^^) 1/16th push etc . . .





Yes, I discovered this from the tutorial - great feature, and easy to use.

F5 on any bar will allow you to set/change any instrument, mute a part etc . . . The "Bar Settings" is where Biab's power lies, IMO. It allows you to be the conductor/producer at that point and have the band lay what YOU want. Pushes, shots, rests etc . . is another powerful tool that is often overlooked.




I had a look at this - but still ran into problems on a few counts.

Basically the song I loaded has Sax "soloing" on all chorus's. I thought it would be good to just have it on say chorus#2, ie tacet/mute on the others.

If I go to Bar #1 and do F5, I can set Strings (ie the sax track) to mute. This works OK, although if I do F5 again on bar #1 it hasnt held the info - so you cant check the instruction given. Anyhow it does mute it.

If I set, at the top, "settings Apply to Chorus# " to "1" then I hope the sax would fire up on chorus 2. But that doesnt happen. So I tried the "back to normal" option to reset it for the 2nd Chorus. Trouble is I'm trying to apply the intruction on the same bar as the 1st instruction to mute - but second time round - if you see what I mean.

I thought if I unfold it, as you mentioned, that might help. But no - BIAB seems to regards Bar#1 and Bar#33 as the same. So the "back to normal" command works on any bar other than the one I want.

I'm really not an awkward cuss, honest! I was just trying to keep it simple and play around with different chorus's. Maybe theres another way?

Thanks Tom
