OP rodipoet Journeyman Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 413 Netherlands	I posted this a few days ago, but my post was not seen? So I made it a new topic. I tried the templates with waltzes in a few tempi, but the user tracks did not work, when I tried them in biab. The user tracks work however with 4/4 as my user tracks for the contest proove. Any help ? Rob de Klerk, Dutch singer-songwriter https://www.robdeklerk.nl Biab 2023, Cakewalk, N.I. Komplete 14, Win 10,64, Ozone 9 elements suite, Presonus studio 24c

Maybe some one of the clever people of the forum is able to explain why my waltzes don't work. https://www.dropbox.com/s/yq4h2zqatvolhue/guitar%20Rob%20waltz%20ev%20140.zip Rob de Klerk, Dutch singer-songwriter https://www.robdeklerk.nl Biab 2023, Cakewalk, N.I.

When you make a UserTrack the wav or wma file goes into a folder. In addition to the audio file the folder has to contain a sgu file and a memo.txt file. The SGU file details the identity and location of the audio file chords. The memo.txt file gives a usertrack description to the user. There is a third file that hasn't been mentioned much called options.txt. Options.txt tells BIAB the tempo, feel (even or swing) and time signature (3/4 or 4/4). It may tell BIAB more things but that's what I remember. I'm guessing you haven't copied an options.txt file into your folder and edited the time signature so whatever defaults exist are in use.

There is an easy work around for that bug that you may want to try Open the Audio Editor Select: Permanently apply Bar 1 offset to track by deleting or inserting silence Close the Audio Editor The audio file should play correctly If that selection is greyed out, you must first select: Mark this point as Bar 1 of the song... Selecting that from the menu allows the ability to select the Permanently Apply Bar 1 selection. This procedure solves the skipping when it has been processed by the Audio Chord Wizard and your issue may be related so it is worth a try.
