I have Biab 2015 for Windows. I have written a melody track using the notation window. By default the level of the velocity of each note is 90.
I’d like to reduce the velocity of a group of notes of the melody track from a specific location to another specific location (and I'd prefer not to change individually each note as there are a bunch of them ...)
I already know how to change the velocity of all notes of the melody (Melody / Edit Melody Track / Adjust Level of Melody), but I wonder if it is possible to change the velocity of only a group of notes?

Hi Lazy Bird You can do that using Bar Settings (F5 key). Select the bar you wish to change, press F5. There a many different options, including all instruments, some instruments, make them louder, software, return to normal, and more:
BIAB & RB2024 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones
May I ask you to be a little bit more precise, because I'm not used to the piano roll: namely, is it possible with the piano roll to select several notes at the same time, and how to do that?
Thanks a lot for your advice ... although it took me 3 days to find out that I had to draw an horizontal line across all the velocity vertical lines to "cut" them at the targeted level and 1 more day to understand how to reduce the space between the velocity vertical lines in order to see the most of them at the same time :-); but it was a good debut to learn how to use the piano roll!
Just a little regret: this method allows changing the velocity of a group of notes to a new level, but to the same level for all notes. As you seem to know everything about BiaB (okay, I'm a little flattering ...) would you know a method to change all the notes of a group by the same level, for example reduce the velocity of all the notes of 8 bars by 15 (i.e. the notes with a velocity at 90 will have a velocity of 75 and the notes with a velocity of 60 will have a velocity of 45)?
If not, I make a wish (I will post it on the appropriate forum): as it is possible to select an area in the notation window by left clicking in any location and drawing the mouse, that PG Music add in the corresponding shortcut menu the possibility to change the velocity of all the notes of the selected area to a specific level or by a specific level.
Try normalizing the midi by following 1, 2, 3 on the image below. This will set everything to same velocity.
To simply drop notes by a set value, try the following. (Click on Soloist or Melody depending on where the midi notes in question are located. In the example below, I've selected the Soloist.)
There is always something to learn with BiaB: I didn't know this "MIDI normalize velocities" function ... But it's apparently a way to normalize the volume of all the notes of all the MIDI tracks of several songs played sequentially, in order to avoid a song is played louder than another.
And unfortunately the "Adjust level of melody (or soloist) part" function has also a general effect: it changes the level of all the notes of the melody (or soloist) track.
In my case, I want to adjust the level of only a few notes of one song: more precisely I want that some notes of the melody that I have written with the notation window are played a little bit quieter.
For now, the best solution seems to be the one proposed by jford. But even this one does not solve exactly my problem as it allows only to change the velocity of consecutive notes: if the notes are not-consecutive you have to repeat the operation.
That's why I wrote a wish in the dedicated forum: to add in the notation window the possibility to change the velocity of selected notes to a specific level or by a specific level.
But my wish does not seem to interest many people ay PG Music. Tears :-;
User Video: Band-in-a-Box® + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!
Since AI is now readily available online as a resource for many things, we recently put together and shared a video where we demonstrated how to create a song using Band-in-a-Box®, ChatGPT, and Synth V; we've also shared a Bob Doyle Media video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band in A Box, showing how they utilize AI for their song projects. Now it's time to share Henry's video, Band-in-a-Box + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!, where he demonstrates how to use ChatGPT and Band-in-a-Box to whip a song project together in only 3-4 hours.
Visit Henry Clarke's YouTube Channel, Henry Clarke - Senior Musicians Unite, to find a large collection of tutorials showing the viewer how to achieve amazing results using Band-in-a-Box®!
If you've reviewed our Support page, you've probably noticed the Videos page, which separates our Band-in-a-Box® tutorial videos by category: Overview, VST DAW Plugin, Setup, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and there's even an Archive category to go down memory lane... (You'll also find these videos on our YouTube Channel.)

Video: Making a Song with Band-in-a-Box®, ChatGPT, and Synth V
Take your Band-in-a-Box® project to a whole new level when you incorporate ChatGPT and Synth V to add lyrics and vocals to your song!
We wanted to demonstrate how this is done with our video, where we show you how to go from nothing to a finished "radio ready" modern pop song by combining the features of Band-in-a-Box®, ChatGPT, and Synth V!
User Video: Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box®
The Bob Doyle Media YouTube channel is known for demonstrating how you can creatively incorporate AI into your projects - from your song projects to avatar building to face swapping, and more!
His latest video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box, he explains in detail how you can use the Melodist feature in Band-in-a-Box with ACE Studio. Follow along as he goes from "nothing" to "something" with his Band-in-a-Box MIDI Melodist track, using ACE Studio to turn it into a vocal track (or tracks, you'll see) by adding lyrics for those notes that will trigger some amazing AI vocals!
