Hi to all of you !

I'm quite new with BIAB, just received BIAB 2013, the UltraPlusPak.

I mostly use BIAB to practise my jazz standards.

I'm on BIAB for Mac but I'm sure that my question can be answered by someone using a PC (and there are more PC users...).

When I open a song - a jazz standard I have in the BIAB format - I try to have each song open with a specific MIDI patch for the melody, in order to have the song ready to play without having to adjust things. The rest of the instruments, the rythm section, are real tracks, so I do not need to choose midi instruments because BIAB automatically opens appropriate real tracks.

My problems is that every time a song is opened, I have to re-assign the midi patch for the melody (and the midi volume for that track), the song seems to have saved without the settings I have choosen the previous time I opened it and saved it with the patch I want for the melody (or other midi tracks).

I tried different way to do it, either with or without Allow patch change...

Can anyone help me with that ?

Thanks for reading me and helping me, hopefully !

If you click on the Save As icon this should save
your special settings.

You are correct, there are many more users here of the PC version than the Mac. However, the two programs do have differences and that makes me reluctant to give any advice about the one I don't have.

Frank is correct, though; first look under the Save options for something that says Save with Patches and Harmony.

Oh! happiness ! Now, I can open a song and play it without rushing to adjust all my settings !

Special thank to Matt, you gave me what to look for on my Mac, the menu spells precisely like this :

« Save with Patches, etc. »

From there, I can choose what settings I want to save or not.

What a relief ! Thanks a lot and have a good day, all of you !

Glad to help.

OK, which hotel do you think is better, the Chateau Champlain or the Queen Elizabeth (for our next trip to Montreal)?
