Hi,
I just want to render a portion of the song for export to my DAW. Specifically, I came up with a different ending and just want the individual .wav files for those six measures.
What I'm doing now:
Exporting the whole thing and then just cutting off everything but those last bars.
What I could do:
Edit the BIAB version to just have those last bars.
What I prefer:
Let BIAB know that when I drag the "Master" button over to the Drop Station, I just want those measures.
Is that possible?
Thanks!

I don’t think so.
Assuming I am correct, this would make a good Wishlist Forum request. Let’s see if anyone has a suggestion.

It's possible in Realband.
In BIAB, because the export function doesn't have a bar range setting, I can't see how it is possible.
To be honest, though, because it's so easy just to transfer across and then truncate the file in the DAW, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Whichever way you go, I'm pretty sure that it would take around about the same amount of time.
Regards,
Noel

Thanks for the quick responses! I guess for now I'll just do the way I said. Perhaps a future version will have that option, but it's not too much of a hassle as it is.

As mentioned, post this request in the Wishlist Forum. They just might add it to the next build, you never know, but you have to let them know you want it! http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=9&page=1
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

It can be done in BIAB and exported to a DAW either with a single track, all of the individual tracks or a stereo mix. It can be done with a single measure located anywhere within the chord chart, multiple measures and can be repeated throughout the chord chart.
Using the original poster's question as an example, it will place the individual tracks at the measure that the copy selection process begins and end. For instance, if the posters song ending is a 4 bar ending between 56-60, with the tempo matching between the DAW and BIAB, the audio will be on those same measures when dropped in the DAW.
To do this, freeze all of the generated tracks in BIAB and using the Bar Settings (F5), mute All instruments in Bar one.
Proceed to the measure you want to begin having audio play. In this example, bar 56. Using the Bar Settings (F5), Unmute All Instruments. (or which ever tracks you will want to render.) Render to a WAV file, either individual tracks or a stereo mix.
This will render 55 blank measures and render 55-60 and will be properly placed onto the correct measure in the DAW.
At this point, you can unfreeze the tracks and proceed with your project and make any changes to the project without altering the exported audio. The rendered tracks will occupy their own tracks in the DAW. You do not have to export the file to use this custom ending or specified range of measures in your BIAB project. Simply import the exported audio back into the project and be sure the audio begins at the correct measure. The saved/imported audio will not be regenerated so you can make any changes and regenerations, change of instruments or change styles and using the bar settings, have your custom ending play in your final BIAB generation. This feature can be done multiple times throughout your project using any selection and number of measures you specify.
Here's how I created a custom ending in a BIAB project created for this post.
I created a chord chart of 16 bars with a 2 bar ending at bar 17. I chose a style and generated the song.
I froze all tracks and using F5, Muted All Instruments at Bar 1
At Bar 13, F5 and Unmuted All Instruments
I rendered the song to a Stereo WAV mix to my Desktop with the Quick Export to WAV option.
I Imported this audio file back into my project making sure the audio began playing at Bar 13.
I chose a new Style, muted the matching bass, drums between the new Style and the previously generated audio file so the duplicate instruments would not clash.
I generated my song with the new Style.
At Bar 13 - F5 and Muted All Instruments and set the Audio Track - Back to Normal
I rendered the song to Audio mix and the result was bars 1-12 were the new Style and at Bar 13, my custom ending began to play and played out to the end of my song.

Yes, that’s a very good point that you can continue to generate tracks and drag un-muted parts into a DAW for processing at the correct point.
There are plenty of workarounds, including some posted in the Wishlist thread about this. Still, it would be nice to be able to regenerate just a part of a track while remaining in BIAB. As a composer, I want that immediate feedback in the original tool (BIAB) before I’m ready for any post processing of alternatives.

Charlie,
That's very "outside the box" kind of thinking! Impressive indeed!

Sorry I haven't read all the posts I may have it wrong, but you can export just the section you need by highlighting those bars then drag the track to DROP WAV
