Has anyone else experienced this? When I "Edit Audio" neither "kill entire audio" nor "erase audio choruses" does bupkis. I can edit the audio in the "audio edit" window by selecting all and hitting delete.
Just curious if anyone else has this broken from the menu structure. I often do multiple takes, and though the utility tracks are a godsend here, I have decades of muscle memory deleting audio via the menu.

NOBODY? I tried this on my laptop, with the same results. Doesn't anyone here record themselves playing acoustic instruments or sing with BIAB?

I imported several audio files onto the Audio Channel and had no issues either erasing audio or killing audio from the Audio Channel drop down menu and from the Audio Button at the top of the screen.

I also opened the Audio Editor screen and did some edits on the audio file and all of the options to erase the audio track worked normally on my system.

All recording is done in Reaper here.

I only record in my DAW, Presonus Studio One Pro 5. I have found that recording in a DAW is much easier than recording in BiaB. You have a DAW in RealBand. YMMV

It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

I'm not sure that's the same thing. I'm not trying to IMPORT audio files. I am trying to RECORD audio tracks on BIAB as I have for over 10 years. I know how to use Realband as well as Cakewalk, Audigy, Reaper, Studio One. It's just a quick and dirty method I've gotten used to and like but now fails. I don't know how anything could be easier for simple stuff (where I want to try multiple styles etc.)

Hi,

I have BIAB 2021.

I just loaded a song with audio attached. I then opened that track in the Audio editor and the "Kill Audio" option under "Audio" on the main, upper menu deleted the track. It worked fine.

Before you use "kill", do you save the song first? This might make a difference.

Regards,
Noel

I went back and recorded audio, edited the audio and erased and killed the audio features from the mixer, from the Audio Button and from the Audio Menu and also was able to selectively kill and erase the middle chorus of the three chorus's from that Audio Menu option. I had never noticed or used that option before but on my system, erasing the audio file works normally on all occasions.

All seems to be working correctly here to PhillyJazz. Have you tried a "return to factory settings"? Try "most" first, that way you'll preserve you audio drivers and PAT files if you use those.

A "return to factory settings" (RTFS) seems to be a required step in the newer 2021 updates. Don't know why, but it sometimes works.

Tried all of the above (I've been a BIAB user since DOS version 1.) Finally figured if I click the "Audio Chord Wizard" once, everything behave as normal and I can delete and re-record audio as I used to. Not sure why this is, but at least, it's a work-around. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I finally figure this out. I have over 16,000 songs in my "favorites" folder. It had been backed up and restored, and moved multiple times over the years. I simply rebuilt the list and now all is well.
