Count In settings should be Local (to each song), not Global to the entire system [Resolved] #310542 09/16/15 12:09 AM Band-in-a-Box Wishlist

This means that you either always have a Count-In for every song, or never have a Count-In. You cannot turn the Count-In 'off' for just one song. This setting would be greatly improved if it was moved from Global Preferences to Individual Song Settings. Songs with multiple time signatures, songs that have a refrain at the beginning, songs that begin with a background instrumental, and many others would benefit from this approach. I hope many users would see the benefit of the count-in as being settable on a song-by-song basis (with a default preference of course) rather than all or nothing.

Not trying to rock the boat, but this is a feature that just about every user could benefit from. Simply put, not every song needs a count-in, and therefore this would be much better if it was selectable on a song-by-song basis, rather than the current global setting of all-or-nothing. Probably needs a default setting (On/Off), and then a 'user over-ride' to simply bypass the default setting if/when required.

That way, you can have a stick count-in for one song; a drum fill count-in for another; a difference drum fill count-in for another; and no count-in for another.

I was I contact with Alyssa just last week about not being able to lower the lead in volume. The answer was there is no volume adjustment available when using RealDrums. My statement to her was that I have had audience members asking what that “noise” was at the beginning of each song. I guess we will just have to keep on asking. Update- I have just been doing a little more experimenting to get RealDrum volume lowered and noticed in Preferences 1, second from the bottom of the right hand column there is a checkbox “if song has RealDrums, also generate MIDI Drums”. Does anyone have an idea of what that means? It would seem that if MIDI drums were “also” generated that their volume could be adjusted and on the first measure of the song be changed to RealDrums with a volume to match the other instruments. I’m using Mac version. Last edited by jazzsax; 12/10/18 02:04 PM.

Will 2020 be the magic year this request is fulfilled? I certainly hope so.

It seems to be global, or perhaps even carried from previous song. Either way it's an issue. BIAB for Windows Version 2019 (643) Windows 10 (1909)

Your request has been reported. Thanks Alyssa for your response in 2016. We missed the delivery of that notably worthwhile feature in 2016, 2017, 2018 and again 2019. Well, I have to admit that I still would like to see this feature implemented. So another +1 from me. Maybe 2020?

Global is fine as a starting point, and each new song can certainly inherit those settings, but once a song is changed to a different setting, those settings should apply to that song going forward, even as a new song starts its life with the default global settings. Clearly that means some changes to the MGU/SGU file format (which based on history, PGMusic would still make compatible with older versions of the software, so there's that challenge). Just my $0.02 worth.

I do realize that is one feature that IS song-specific. John, you are correct, we should consider what else should be song specific and perhaps construct a suggestion list. Oh, and +1 again about the count-in. I don't use BIAB for live backing, but if I did, this would drive me crazy. BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile.
