Melody note timing problems #238852 02/06/14 10:55 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

OP GodfreyY Enthusiast Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 72 Buckinghamshire, England	I find that when I enter melody notes into the notation window with the mouse, they look fine but always seem to play slightly behind the chords/style track timing. They are also visually behind in the piano roll window. I know sometimes this can be a good thing but there are times when I want it to be spot on. Two questions if anyone can help please - 1. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing and 2, can you quantize melody tracks within BIAB? Also, I have never been able to successfully copy bars of melody in the notation window and paste them elsewhere; the timing is always wildly out. Any idea what I may be doing wrong here? Many thanks Last edited by GodfreyY; 02/06/14 10:56 AM.

This is to try and 'humanise' the playback. Simply change it to zero before you enter notes. It's #2 on the image below and is found via "Opt" when in Notation Mode. If you use the "Staff Roll Notation Mode" for note entry, the tick offset does not impact. Note that the Tick Offset is reset every time the song is generated and it's necessary to re-enter zero to cancel it. Hope this helps, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

Haven't had time yet to see if it also deals with my copy and paste problem but will do shortly. Many thanks again Godfrey

BIAB gives you a way to align the timing of the MIDI and audio. First, are you using MME or ASIO as your Audio driver setting? BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.
