Hi Folks

Realtracks question:

I'm using BIAB to get a reasonable arrangement so use volume changes (mute, back to normal, increase/decrease by bar, etc) to get a rough mix but I then want to be able to export the full tracks to my DAW.

Not unreasonably (!) the WAV files for tracks where I mute for, say all but 4 bars, only have 4 bars of music in them. I guess that's what most people want most of the time, but is it possible to get the whole track rendered without removing all of the volume changes? i.e. from bar 1 to the end rather than just the 4 bars that are not at volume 0?

Thanks,
Paul

Sure.

It's a two step process.


. Open Bar settings (F5)
. Select Reset All Bars

This will delete all of the bar settings, mute, back to normal, increase/decrease by bar Bar settings you made and reset the Chord chart with no Bar Settings.

. Right click on the Master Radio Button
. Select Set Mix To Flat Dry and Center

This will reset all of the Mixer settings to the defaults.

Adding on to Charlie's excellent advice...

Before you do anything like the above, save your songfile with a different name. It always pays to keep the original so that you can get back to it if needed.

For example, my latest song is called "In The Still Of This Gentle Night" and I have BIAB songfiles GENTLE NIGHT 1, GENTLE NIGHT 2, ..., GENTLE NIGHT 16. The reason I have so many is because every time I do something different from the latest version of the song that I'm running, I save it with a new name if I like it. BIAB songfiles don't take up much disk space.

Regards,
Noel

Hey, thanks Guys.

I never noticed the reset all bars before Charlie - thank you very much. Even the 'Undo' worked to restore it back to how it was.

Noel - good advice.

Thanks again!


Thanks,
Paul
