Am I the only person in the World that wants to use 1 chorus in a looper? I just need to be able to create a verse or chorus, with Realtracks, that will loop seamlessly without a gap at the end of each chorus.
Technical support used to be very good for BIAB but now all they care about is sales..

What have you tried so far? Presumably you are using the loop feature, and have endings turned off? You didn't say what your setup is.
This works for me, song loops without any break:

That should definitely work - a song with one chorus that loops seamlessly with no gap. As long as you disable the ending bars, as well as the count-in.

Hi Andrew, thank you for your reply, unfortunately that doesn't work. When I export the wav file and try to loop it in any media player, there is a gap. I have tried every possible setting, but can't believe that it isn't possible.
I am having to save 2 choruses as a wav which I then have to import into Reaper or Audacity, find the point at where I can cut the wav into 2 parts, delete the 2nd half, and then the 1st half will then loop seamlessly.
This is a very laborious hit & miss method, but it works, unlike the 1 chorus export from BIAB.
I have many loops to make up, which will take a very long time unless I can find a solution, surely there must be one

Hi, thank you for this, but it isn't what I need. This loops in real time to play along to, whereas I need to export the wav so that it loops seamlessly in any media player or looping station.

I see. This is not related to the loop features inside BiaB, is it?

That certainly wasn't clear to me from the original post.

I have consistently be able to record BIAB progressions directly into my Digitech JamMan Looper by using the 1/4" Aux Input line from the looper directly into my computer. I set up the looper to Auto Record, hit play in BIAB and then when I get to the end of the phrase/progression that I want, I hit Rec/Play on the looper on the following beat number 1 to create a loop. Sometimes it takes a few passes to get the timing right, but I've created many workable loops this way.

Hope this helps.

Until you figure out or are able to get the silent 4 beat count-in turned off from begin saved as silence at beginning of wav, and not sure that's an option right now (I never save files that way so I wouldn't know)

Making loops in Audacity is not hard - but you are right if you try to do that for more than few it would be tedious (welcome to the old way's - LOL)


https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_looping.html


or try this feature FOR NOW, again until you can figure out

Melody -> Generate Sound Track

and turn off fade-in and fade-out (first and last two seconds

I just generated a 4 bar loop - NO silence before or after in wav file
