Hi folks - I've had biab for years - I have a copy of the latest now - but have really only used it as a play-along. A couple days ago I downloaded a midi file for "Moanin'" and it's like listening to a lap organ - it has all the notes of the melody and some chords but it's really thin. I'd like to add some realband tracks and have watched a couple videos but have gotten some really whacked results with my own attempts. Does anybody have a pointer to a video or tutorial that covers this in some depth? Or maybe I'm off in the weeds. Thanks for any info - Mark
These are pretty much the 2 defining requirements. Sometimes MIDI from the internet was not using a click and thus the Tempo can wander, which would cause the chords to get out of time also.
If needed adjust the Tempo map to fit.
You can do this manually in the Tempo window or let the ACW help with that. (Yes I get that it's MIDI but the ACW can temporarily render it to use as audio if needed)
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
You may also try narrowing your Style choices to one's that more closely match what the song parameters are. I searched for 'Moanin' in the StylePicker search area and the StylePicker displayed only the Styles that match those parameters. Simply audition the Styles in the list by selecting the option to play the Style over your chord progression to determine the best matching Style.
So what I did was start with the midi file in biab, added realtracks (the combo with Freddie green) from the style picker, output it in a format that could be read by realband, that sounded really good so I output it as a .wav file and picked it up in audacity to clip it down to size and output it as an mp3. A very windy road but it sounds really good now. I think, though, that I should have been able to any and all of those steps in either rb or biab but don't know how. But I did get what I wanted
thanks for the help, and any further ideas that would help me make more sense out of these wonderful tools is greatly appreciated - M
If you have an MP3 encoder installed on your computer, you can export your song as an MP3 from BIAB or RB. The one that works with Audacity should also work with BIAB and RB. There are several ways to edit and trim the audio to a specific size and eliminate space to clip audio to size in BIAB too if you want. However, I often use Audacity for those items just as you do as well. It's quick and easy.
I'm glad you're getting the good sounds from BIAB that you want.
