OK! Noah, thanks so much. OK, here is how yesterday went. I created and independent song, one that I had done before. I did the harmonies in this song and it let me do it. Then however, I pulled up the other song that I had done that was giving me so many errors, and I tried to do some harmonies on that song, still would not let me do it and it was still giving me the same error.

So, here is something that I was still scratching my head at. Well, today I went and thought about this situation and something had occurred to me, that I did not quite catch before. I had thought about what I had done with each individual file by re-creating it and the harmonizer worked very good with it.

Now for anyone who is reading this post that might be having the same problem the answer is here. Me and Noah have been working on this little glitch for the last few days. Refer to my earlier post to find out what the problem was. Now, Noah, what was different in my recreated songs that I had done before was this. I had a tempo map in the file that I was trying to run the harmonizer on, so it had occurred to me to set all marks where the tempo was at back to zero where I would bring up, or lower the tempo. For some reason it confuses "Band in a Box" because of the tempo change.

If you have a tempo map in your song, it will not let you create harmonies, and your timing will surly be off if you try to punch record because of the tempo map. SO, Noah this is what the problem was all along. I had to set all tempos back to zero before it would let me do the harmonies. And I also found out with the tempo map still in the song when you are trying to do punch recording it will have a timing problem with the music.

I am not sure weather any of you that are reading this ran into this problem but if you did here is the solution. "Remove the tempo map completely" and then create your harmonies, and do the punch recording, everything will be in sync.

Now, Noah I tried doing what you had suggested for making BIAB turn your file into a MGU, this did not work for me. I will go back and read your instructions again so see if I did something wrong, but I probably did.

But Noah, if you run into anyone else that is having this problem pass this information on, it will save them a lot of headaches. After I removed the tempo map everything worked just fine. Thank you so much for your help Noah, if it was not for you I would still be scratching my head.
