Is it possible to use volume control for parts of a file? I am running BIAB on a Windows PC. I want to fade out the volume at the end of a file. Thanks for any help.

The PianoRoll Window provides graphical editing means to draw controller values over a range of bars such as cc#11 for expression or cc#7 for volume.

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for your input. I had spotted the pianoroll window as a possibility. But darned if I can figure out how to make my volume control changes stick! Where should I look for a tutorial? I'm running version 2005, by the way. Thanks again. Don

Did you do a Save with Patches and Harmony after you successfully invoked the Fade?

Well, I have now! Didn't seem to make any changes to the file though. I'm obviously doing something wrong. D

By the way, is that a bass trumpet you're playing in your avatar? I play, among other things, an Eb horn--we call them tenor horns here in UK, but I believe they're known as altos in the US. D

That's a flugelhorn, Bb, built by SEG that was originally designed for use in Drum and Bugle Corps.

Has a huge bell and bore, I "appropriated" it from the marching field guys to use in jazz work because I dug the distinctive low end of the thing, plus its inherent loudness makes it easy to play softly on it all night long.

The newness of that situation has worn off, though and I'm not using it all that much of late.
For Flugel work I lean mostly on my good old prewar Bach Flugel. That SEG is indeed much more like a bass trumpet in range and sound. High notes on it are a real feat to obtain due to the huge conical bore and bell. It has its moments down within the octave, though. And I sometimes use a French Horn mouthpiece on it in the studio, looking for a "signature" sound, as it were.

That shot was taken backstage at the Norfolk Jazz Festival several or more years ago, warming up. Juggling Flugel, Trumpet, Keyboards and Guitar, don't ever want to work that hard at one band again said the grumpy old fart.

Somewhere there's a tutorial in the help section how to create such expression features and make them stick. The file "Expression demo for accompaniment tracks.MGX" in the Demos section of the sister -> Yahoogroup may give you a jumpstart. The group requires a (simple) registration.

Fascinating. I played trumpet for many years but found of late that my chops tired very easily. So I took to the Eb tenor horn and am enjoying playing with a brass band--we have few marching bands here in the UK, but brass bands are basically the same idea. I have thought of tackling the flugel as I love the sound...but I get more gigs playing sax and flute, so I'm not anxious to put my chops through the wringer!

Thanks again for your help.

Don
