Hi again!
I'm glad to hear that you brain has cooled
Bigger problem than that was BIAB bar settings weren’t functioning. I muted certain instruments at certain bars during a song in BIAB. Non of the settings were working. BIAB played all the instruments all time.
There are 3 reasons that I can think of that would cause the bar settings not to sound....
1. The song wasn't regenerated after the settings were added... each time bar settings are made or modified, the song needs to be regenerated.
2. Tracks are frozen -- the "freeze' icon is the snow crystal on the rights of "S" on the mixer. This will be light blue if it is on. Just click on it if it is blue and it will deactivate. Now regenerate the song.
3. An audio file of BIAB's backing has been made... if you saved BIAB's backing to audio (wav, mp3, etc) then that audio is saved in the same folder as the song file. Every time you open the song file the audio will be loaded along with the song file and it will play along with BIAB.
Now if the audio was created before you set the tracks coming in and out of the song, you will have an audio file with no bar settings playing along with a song file that has bar settings. The end result will be that it sounds like the settings are not working.
If an audio file is present, click "Audio" then select "Edit Audio | Kill entire audio" on the very top menu and then select "Kill Audio". This will delete the audio file.
Now regenerate the song and play it and the settings will work.
Then I rendered vocal track only in wav file and imported it in BIAB and harmonized it. I won’t let you listen to it. Cuz my singing isn’t making my standard unfortunately. I was too tired physically and mentally to do a few more takes to get better voice recording.
Excellent! I'm glad you've got it working.
If you successfully recorded audio, that would have used the Audio track. Since BIAB only has a single audio track, any song file that was saved to audio (as I mentioned above), would have been overwritten. This means the muting problem is either due to #1 or #2 above.
There was another difficulty while I was arranging this one tune. I’m sure this one is a minor problem for you guys to give me a solution. When I tried to insert a guitar solo in this tune, I couldn’t cut and paste a few bars cuz I didn’t know how to highlight the part on Reaper. I was so tired to investigate it further. Could you tell me how?
I highlight a section in Reaper by holding the left mouse button down and dragging across the top display of bars and beats. This creates a selection and it can be fine-tuned by dragging the end markers in or out. Pressing ESC will remove the selection. See the image below.
Once you've selected a region. Scroll to the track you want to copy from, right-click on the track and select "Copy selected area of items" -- it's about 2/3rds of the way down the menu. CTRL+V will paste the copied section.
Hope this helps,
Noel
