No Sound When Previewing an Audio Effect #58002 01/28/10 07:22 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

I highlight an area then go to the audio effect I want, change the time limit to 30 seconds (even though the sound is at the beginning of the highlighted region) then press preview. It flashes a little box real fast as it calculates...then nothing. No sound. Any thoughts? Thanks a ton. Ricky ________ Songwriter-Artist RickyHarris.com

In RB the solution is to right click the audio display and choose 'select whole track' then go to 'Track - consolidate audio region'. It rewrites the track as one continuous chunk. Not at all sure if this applies to BiaB, as I do all audio in RB.. but I believe they are the same effects. Hopefully Andrew (or someone else) will be back to help shortly. Did you check to see if the device BiaB is using is the same as the one Windows defaults to? (Control Panel - Sound) Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Andrew - PG Music PG Music Staff Joined: May 2002 Posts: 6,975 Victoria, BC	The non-realtime effects under Audio \| Plugin.. work for the whole track, not the highlighted part - the preview will be from the start of the track. If that's not what the issue is, and it's not an audio driver issue as mentioned, then I'm not sure why it isn't working. Perhaps it is an issue with that specific wave file as rharv suggested - you could try using the consolidate command in RealBand... Andrew PG Music Inc.
