I'm writing a simple country type tune. It has an 8-bar intro, then a repeat of the form starting at bar 9. During the intro I use a pedal steel track, which I fade out on bar 8 by selecting the fade option under Bar Settings, so by bar 9 it correctly drops out. Then in the last 4 bars of the tune I bring the pedal steel part back in. But when it repeats back to bar 9 it keeps playing instead of muting as I had set bar 9 to do previously.
How do I get it to mute at bar 9 after it repeats?
Side note: Just as an experiment I tried fading the last bar of the form before it repeats, but it still keeps playing the pedal steel track at bar 9 after the repeat anyway.
Thanks in advance.
Zac

Remove the repeat and have your song play out in one chorus.

Remove the repeat and have your song play out in one chorus. Unfortunately I can't. The song is really long and as it is it barely fits in the 255 measure BIAB limit even with the repeat.

"The song is really long and as it is it barely fits in the 255 measure BIAB limit even with the repeat." isn't information I had when I answered your question. Regardless, the answer to your question remains the same to how to get it to mute at bar 9 after it repeats. Remove the repeat.
I know that doesn't solve your issue. There was a long discussion last year about the 255 bar limit. The 255 bar limit is finite in both BIAB and RealBand since it has to do with the two programs sharing BIAB generating audio.
The simple answer is to render your song in sections of audio that are shorter than the 255 bar limit and assemble your audio clips in any DAW or audio editing program. There are no limitations doing it that way. If you have a Windows version of BIAB it has RealBand included and it is easy to assign markers to designate and separate your song to generate the sections and render and assemble the various sections into one continuous audio file.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I do have RealBand, but I haven't used it yet. I'm still very new to this. I don't know how to render song sections or export & assemble them in RealBand. I appreciate your suggestions, but for a newbie like me it'll take hours to figure all that out (not against doing that, just was hoping for a quicker & easier solution). It just seems keeping the bar muted should by itself be a simple process that shouldn't require a workaround involving all that extra legwork. If a bar is muted, why doesn't it simply stay that way during a repeat?? Seems like a bug. Thanks again.

Actually I found a solution. I wasn't using the Fade Out option properly. Now I got it to fade out & it doesn't re-trigger after the repeat. Thanks again for your help. Zac
