Now i understand wy i not like BIAB currently. because the chords are not smooth transition and big jumps happen. there is a thread about that with a trick. seem very complicate. https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=506398#Post506398 I do not understand how this work. Maybe something more easy to use can add in future Biab. maybe Biab users can give more easy to use suggestions how this can implement better to use
I also think problem in Biab is that the transpose of tracks to fit chords do not preserve formants. this is important to have in vocal choir, electric guitars to let them transpose more. now as Biab is a a plugin maybe there can use melodyne buildtin with newest ara for transpose tracks easy in band in a box. the assistant melodyne allow change of formants, so can even more make smoother transients between transpose.
<<< because the chords are not smooth transition and big jumps happen.>>>
Good morning acdx2000. Using the Medley feature that's described in the other thread you read does help with transitions between chords. I will try to show you another way to insert instruments on a track you may find easier to do.
Select a bar where you are not satisfied with the transition. Example Bar 6 beat one is a C chord and Bar 7 beat one is an F chord. Select Bar 6
Select Bar Settings ( it's F5 on the American Keyboard or Right click with your mouse to open a menu and select Bar Settings from the menu or from the Main Screen, open Song Setting and select the Bar Settings Button.)
Near the top of the open window, select the RealTracks Button.
From the Menu that opens, in the top box, select the track you want RealTrack changes to take effect. These tracks relate to the Mixer and correspond to each Mixer Track from top to bottom. Bass, Piano, Drums, Guitar, Strings, Melody and Soloist.
In the smaller lower box, select the RealTrack you want to change to. Be sure to make note of the original Realtrack number of the instrument you are replacing because you will want to return to using this original track further into your Chord Chart.
For instance, if you are dissatisfied with the transition of Rhythm Guitar 2905 on track Mixer Track 4, Guitar and you decide to replace it with 2904.
Complete your search and make your selection replacing guitar 2905 with 2904 and select the Ok's to exit from the menus.
Decide which Bar you want to change back to your original guitar selection of 2905 and select that bar.
Enter Bar settings at the bar you've chosen. For example, you select bar 8.
Select the RealTrack Button and in the filter box - enter 2904 and this will bring the 2905 guitar into a small list where you select 2905 and exit the menus again.
Regenerate and these changes will take effect and your transitions should be much smoother. This works exactly like the other option already described but you are manually choosing specific bars and the number of bars affect by the change. Hope this helps.
