I get a click at the end of all songs(BIAB 2014).

It sounds like the lead-in drumstick clicks. I have gone to the "Count In/Met" menu but see nothing there to control this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi,

Have you installed the latest update? (This information is found under "Help | About Band in a box". For example 2014(380) says it's version 2014 and update 380.

Regards,
Noel

Don't know for certain whether this will clear that up, but it is worth trying.

Under the Options menu inside BB, try the Second "Return to Factory Settings" button, the one that not only restores the critical intrface.bbw file, but also resets the SoundCard and MIDI via the Wizard.

You also may have to shut down BB and reboot the computer afterwards as well, this to free up resources.

Jim,

I don't have this problem, but I have a vague recollection that I have heard it at some point in time. Just to help me get a little more insight into your set up, could you please answer the following questions.


1. What are your settings for the Count-In / Metronome?

These are found via "Prefs" (#1). Count-in/Met (#2) on the below image. The image shows my settings. Is there anything in your setup that is different from mine?




2. Do you have looping engaged?

On the image below, you can see that I have "NEVER loop entire song" selected.




3. Do you use multiple choruses?

As you can see below, on my setup, I only select a single chorus.




If you can answer the above, it will help me try and isolate what might be causing it if Mac's suggestion of returning to factory settings doesn't bring relief.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Jim, You are not alone. I have this strange behavior also, I have tried factory reset, including midi, all no good. It did it with 2013 and it does it with 2014 (380). If I record to a WAV file it doesn't include it.

All my songs have loop unchecked, and all have endings. Generally all of my songs are frozen, once I get the sound I like, but that doesn't even seem to matter.

It doesn't do it always when I play the song, but it does it with many different songs. Perhaps the first few times I play the song it doesn't do it, then once it starts it does it every time. Sometimes it does it from the very first play. It's not conclusive, but it seems to be able to always do it eventually.

It even does it if I press Play From (Control-F) and play from a position near the end - every time.

Interestingly, if I use BiaB to record the output to an audio file, it doesn't do it (it's not recorded in the Wave file).

It is coming from the Drums track, as it doesn't do it if I mute the Drums, and does it again as soon as I un-mute.

It sounds just like the song intends to start again, and plays the first beat of the count-in. The delay between end of the song and that beat is several seconds, and also, the highlighted bar jumps to somewhere else, rather than staying at the last played bar. Is that what you are witnessing?

Updates, Return to factory settings, reboots, restarts etc have not resolved.

I eventually created a video screen capture showing the phenomena and sent to PG Support. They have passed it on as a reported issue.

Here is the original thread

I recommend that you may wish to report also though. It would be beneficial for them to know that it may not be an isolated case.

Regards
Trevor

I seem to recall experiencing this years ago when I tried to use 2-bar endings; sometimes it would be a drum sound and once in a while a piano note. When I stopped using BIAB's endings and began making my own, the problem went away. Not sure if this is the same issue, but it might be worth checking out.

This happens to me all the time but it is not a click but a quick "blip" that is all the instruments sounding at once. It only happens with RT's not MIDI. I have diagnosed that it is the sound card in my computer "switching off"

I have mentioned it several times on this forum and tried everything that has been suggested - nothing works. I even sent a file to PG support and they couldn't hear the blip. As a workaround, I extend all songs by about 10 bars which gives me time to press my foot switch after the song finishes and before the blip. The foot switch is programmed with the spacebar which stops the song and prevents the blip.

Noel96,

1. Mine looks the same.
2. No looping engaged
3. No multiple chouruse


VideoTrack,

I upgraded from ver. 2009 and it was not an issue until I got BIAB2014.

It does it on every song including when I do the Play From thing(which is much slower to start “From” than 2009 was)

My “click” comes just after the end of the song. The highlighted bar flashes in the next bar to the last bar of the song. Click/flash at the same time.


1manband,

I do not use the “two bar ending” thing. I do use “Tag Exists”.


PS: I don’t know if it has anything to do with this “click” thing, but this 2014 version is really slow compared to my 2009 version.

I just timed it this time when I started the program and it took 2 minutes and 8 seconds.

The “play from” but also seems to take forever most of the time. Sometimes if I double click on the bar I want to start from it will be quicker.

Also, songs will sometimes take what seems forever to load and at other times not so much.

Also, it is normal to always have a part marker and the last chord of the song in the bar just after the last bar of the song? I thought maybe that was the problem but if I remove them save the song, reload the song……………they are still there.

At this point I’m not sure it was worth the nearly $200 to upgrade. There seem to be a few quirks that should have been addressed before issuing but I’ll keep working on it until all of my 70 year old hair falls out. smirk


Really appreciate the help.

I hear the click many times as well, and have not isolated the cause. To me, it sounds like the first beat of a count-in and is only on the drum track.

The behavior of the final part marker is normal.

Your program does take too long to load. Tell us if you are running an antivirus program and which one. Tell us about your OS - is it Windows XP or 7 or 8.1? 32 or 64 bit?

Download and run the free utility Geekbench and report your score so we have a sense of your machine's power.

Did you install BIAB to the /Program Files folder (either one, if running 64-bit)? This is a known problem.

Ps it might be a good idea to start a new thread entitled "2014 takes too long to load" or some such. In my opinion, this is not related to the click. Give us as much info as you can, starting with the answers to my questions. A new thread would get you better attention for this problem.

I experienced the sound of the Drum countin click at end of songs sometimes with ver2012 and to a lesser amount with ver2013.

With the release of 2014, haven't heard it yet.

Here's a cou0les of questions for all who have that annoying sound at end of songs:

*Are you using ASIO or MME audio driver when it happens?

*Does it happen with both, or perhaps only with one, or more times with one than the other?


This may also have something to do with the type, brand and model of sound device in use, too, I'm thinking differences in the way drivers may handle things.

I found that using an external synth allows the mysterious click to surface. If you are using an external synth, try switching a software synth. BIAB supplies two with the software, both by Roland.

To Mac: I've used both MME and ASIO drivers in BIAB and have not noticed a difference with regard to the ending click (bang) on the drum track from RealDrums.

To Rachael: I use an external MIDI synth (Roland Fantom XR) and an external audio device (Tascam FW-1884). The Tascam is also a mixer (and a control surface for DAW processing) so I don't want to give it up.

I seem to have a slightly different problem but maybe related to the above.

At first bar of song if I type C..g (so that only the first bar of song is played with example guitar no drums) after the two bar count-in I hear the drum on the first beat of first bar of the song.

In other words the drum is playing on first beat of first bar even though its supposed to be muted. Using vsc and latest update 380 on widnows 7 32 bit.

Hello Everyone;

This mysterious "click" 'bang' or whatever has been happening to me as well, but as I am a "newbie" to BIAB (first purchase Dec. 2013)I thought that I was doing or setting up something incorrectly.

But, now it appears that there is something amiss with the system/program???

It seems to be only with the RealTracks, but I am not that well versed with using all the different parts of BIAB so it could be happening elsewhere.

I am using BIAB Ultra 2014 if that makes a difference.

Thanks for posting this informative posting.

As the other posts indicate, we have been around this topic a few times over a few versions. It hasn't (to my knowledge) been solved because it does not happen for everyone and must therefore be dependent on individual installations. I had assumed it was related to the Count-in/Metronome and Loop settings, but now I'm not sure.

If any others who do experience this click/bang can post what they use as discussed above, perhaps we will discover the common cause. Tony, Rachael and Mac have made suggestions as to things you can check.

I'm using MME, and external synth for some sounds (not drums), although this didn't seem to matter.

Sometimes (but very rarely), I have heard two beats, but most often I get one.

It sounds exactly the same as the first count-in beat of tapping drum sticks together. I've never heard any other sound.

I'm always using Real Drums, although I suspect the count-in is not part of "Real Drums", but rather is generated using midi or similar?

As you can see, this has been around for a while. I thought Peter addressed it at some point and said the extra click was, in fact, the drum track starting over again by mistake.

Thanks Rachael for your excellent detective work.

I have reported to PGM, but it seems that they might have known about this already for some time.

Anyway, I suggested that anybody observing this might consider reporting to PGM. The squeaky wheel...

Using "C.", I only hear the reverb. Using "C..", I hear a stop with nothing after the last note. Using "C...", I hear a held note and then nothing. My count-ins are silent, just a visual count-in. Don't know if that makes a difference. Later, Ray

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.

The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
