I know this option exists because I've seen it, but for the life of me know I can't find it.
When I start a new song, I need to change the default so that it only has 1 chorus, not three. And that the starting key is Bb, not C.
WHERE IS THIS DONE? Like I said, I've seen a dialogue box where you can set these, but can't find it now. I can't seem to find anything posted on any of the forum boards here either.
Jim, welcome back. Since you registered many years ago, could you tell us what version of BIAB you have? It makes a difference to tell you exactly where the answer is located.
Look for three numbers that by default on a new song say 1, 32, 3. The number you want is that last one, 3. Change it to 1.
Somewhere near that, below and to the right, it says Key. That says C by default. Change it to Bb. If you have BIAB 2017 or 2018, you will see two columns; use the one on the left.
BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.
It sounds like you might be in full-screen view. If you use CTRL+T to switch to standard view, the numbers/text that Matt mentions is to the right of the song title window.
Hey guys - thanks for the quick reply! I've done every upgrade as soon as it's been available, even when I wasn't using it. So I'm on 2018.
I know where to change the number of choruses and the key as it pertains to each individual project. The thing I'd like to access is where to make it so it's always opening up a New Project in Bb and a single chorus, to save me the step of going and manually adjusting it each time.
There's no setting that will do this. Every new song starts in C, 1-32 x3.
You could save a blank song that's in Bb with one chorus to use as a template, but would have to open it every time you want to start a new tune, then use Save As the first time you save it instead of Save, to avoid overwriting the template.
This won't really save you any mouse clicks compared to just selecting a new key and number of choruses manually.
You could go to Options - Preferences - Transpose, and select "Transpose the song to the key of Bb" under "Each time a song is loaded", but if you ever make a song in a key other than Bb, it'll be transposed to Bb automatically.
