Hi
I've created some backing tracks then have gone on to record a sax line in BIAB. This goes into the Audio line.
When I save the track, a WAV is generated automatically but the Audio line is missing on playback.

manually exporting a WAV does not solve the problem.

When I go back into the BIAB using the saved SGU file the audio is showing, highlighted blue, the audio lines are showing it as output but nothing on that line is playing.

This is deliverable to the client tomorrow and I've only just come across this.

I guess I'm doing something pretty stupid, or missing something pretty basic

Advice please asap

Open the song in Real Band.... all the tracks will populate and then you simply record the SAX into a new audio track. You're able to add as many tracks as you need in Real Band whereas in Band in a Box you only have one audio track to work with.

OR..... select the option to export your individual tracks as wave files and use your favorite DAW to finish the project.


You can find my music at:

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Thanks for that

I thought I could record the sax line in BIAB and export as WAV and it would pick everything?

have I lost my sax recordings?

raddy,

It's definitely easier to record in Realband but you are correct, it can be done in BIAB.

Did you doublecheck that your soundcard is set to record the mic and that the volume is sufficiently high?

This is a Windows setting. It might be that it's set to monitor and record some other thing.

The below image shows my Windows 7 settings.

This can be accessed by right-clicking on the 'speaker' in the task bar or system tray and selecting "Record Properties". (See the upper image.)

The Windows settings can also be accessed within BIAB... see the lower image.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Noel
Thanks for that
Sax line records fine
The sax line plays back in BIAB, but after exporting WAV it doesn't any more
Reloading I can see the sax line, the levels on the line are moving but no sound?

raddy,

When you solo the audio track while the song is playing, can you hear just the sax?

Lastly...please give step by step instructions on exactly how you export the audio track as a wav. I need to try and repeat what you are doing.

Regards,
Noel


P.S. Also, try changing your audio driver to MME if it is not already set to that. (Audio | Audio drivers/settings)

P.P.S Another thought.... under Midi Drivers, do you have Coyote WT as your VSTi/DXi installed?
