When i open a song i started BB that i used all Real tracks on, the 1st 7 track are the BB midi-tracks that i am not using. How can i remove these from the project in RB? Its a waste of at least 6tracks on every project. Thanks for any help you may have.


Love getting back into biab in 2024

JC,

If you are "rendering" in BIAB there is a check-box:
One WAV file per track. Un-check that box and
the render will only be youe stereo song wav file.

If this is not the case I don't know.

Good luck

After you've gotten your RealTracks rendered, convert the BIAB to regular tracks and then you can remove them. It's on the "Tracks" menu and is called "Make all BB Tracks Regular tracks". Once you do that, you can treat them like any other track (use them as you please, remove them, swap them, whatever).

A couple of things you may or may not know about. First, no need to do anything in Biab first. RB will do it all from scratch. Create the chord grid just like in Biab, select a style, right click on any empty track, select what you want to do. What's cool about RB is you can put any style on any track or any part of a track with one mouse click plus you're not limited to 7 parts like Biab. Just to experiement a little, I like to create 3 or 4 different versions of some of the instruments in RB (it has 48 tracks, remember) and then listen to them througout the song by muting some and hearing others and then decide what I want to keep and delete the rest. Also, you can change the cnord grid for drum fills or alternate chords and create more tracks without changing the ones you already have. Can't do that in Biab.

Second, one reason you might want to start in Biab first is the Real Track generation times. Biab is much faster than RB is when doing a whole song at one time if you're using a lot of RT's. In that case, don't open the Biab song itself in RB because that takes forever plus you have the "Biab tracks" thing to mess with. No, convert all the Biab tracks to audio and use the Drag and Drop (D&D) function straight into RB. There's a thread in the Off Topic forum where a guy posted a video explaining exactly how that works. He's using Sonar but it's the exact same thing with RB. Keep in mind if all you're doing is one track at a time you may as well start with RB in the first place but if it's 5 or 7 RT's then Biab is faster and use D&D into RB. Play with it you'll see what I mean.
