As I remember, you import an audio file into RealBand. If the audio file is in 4/4 time you just press a key to identify beat 1 of each bar. If you know how many bars long the song is then you can identify bar 1 and the last bar and it will automatically fill in the bars in between. There are also ways to create a click track for songs with 3/4 time or very erratic tempos.

RealBand uses the click track feature to follow the tempo of a pre-existing song the same way a musician reading a score follows a conductor.



Sounds promising.. wink I'll be upgrading in the next couple of weeks, but, for now, I need to get this working for a project due next week. The latest problem is Real Band and BIAB are not on the same page when I transfer to RB. One possible problem is that the audio file has a recorded metronome lead in, and I am setting the actual 1st bar and not counting the metronome. When I go to RB, it is off by one whole measure. If I use the metronome as the first measure, then I have to turn everything off with the chord properties, etc., and everything renders perfectly, but, it is off in RB. My next step is to edit out the metronome and work with that, along with trying a click track.

I can link to the audio file I am working with, if anyone is interested. The timing in that file is spot on, no issues what so ever. I am pretty sure it was created with just 12 bars and copy and pasted out to 84 bars. (all done in Apple Pro Logic X)

I am hoping to have this work, as I really don't want to submit a 4 minute guitar solo.. lol

EDIT: I moved everything over to RB.. figured out how to do everything I need from there.. so, I don't need to use BIAB for this particular project.. thanks everyone!
