Hi all: New to this software and am falling in love with it.

Question:

Is there a way to tell BIAB to generate specific measures in a piece.

Example: I've entered the chords for 36 measures and generated the song and like what's there except measures 20 and 21.

Is there a way to tell the software to re-generate ONLY measures 20 and 21?

Thanks

No you can not do that in BiaB. However if you are on a PC you can do that in RealBand.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Mario is correct, and you should know we have requested that feature be added to BIAB.

There are ways to do workarounds using Utility Tracks and audio editing. Dig into some of the posts here by Charlie Fogle.

I see that Pipeline has partially answered this same question by this poster in the BIAB for Windows thread. The poster needs to give a little more information.

The way the question is worded, it appears the request could be to regenerate all of the style's tracks (the whole mix) for the specified measures rather than a single track like Pipeline answered. The poster also needs to have a version of BIAB that has Utility Tracks to use the other reply.

The work around is more involved if the poster has an older version.

Another work around is to use the MultiRiffs feature to generate 7 different variations of a particular RealTrack. Then if you like parts of one and parts of another you an export those two individual tracks and edit them together in a DAW. More info on MultiRiffs can be found in this video: https://youtu.be/1akkEAxVy2o

Good advice. One additional tip, no DAW is necessary, the generated MultiRiffs can be edited in the BIAB Audio Editor.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm working with a new audiophile version (bit on that) and I'd like to work track by track.

There's so much potential with this software and I'm getting my feet wet in what seems to be a really deep lake.

Thanks for the input. I'll look into the feature. I've already done one via editing in a DAW and am content to work that way.

There's so much to this software that just finding out what can be done is a pretty steep learning curve.

OK So with the help of this community and especially a veteran user pipeline, I've been clued in to a suitable method for doing exactly what I wanted.

Specifically I had a piano part that I didn't like a single measure that BIAB generated and I wanted to instruct it to re generate that single measure.

(the solution would also work for several measures.)

The following is a step by step.

Click Edit and then go down to "copy special" and click "copy/move tracks
(on mine system thew window takes a while to open) see diagram 1.

choose the source and destination tracks

Click OK

In my case the Piano track has been copied to Utility 1

Click on the Utility 1 track
Click “Audio” then click “audio edit”

This opens the Audio Edit window as in Diagram 2 and displays the audio on Utility 1

Click the checkbox for “snap” and highlight the measure you want to regenerate
(in my case measure 3)

right click on Utility 1 track and highlight generate and then click on “select and generate real tracks”

The style window opens

Select the real track that matches the track you're replacing

Click OK

BIAB now regenerates the piano for measure 3 only

Done

I've started working with this method in earnest this morning and have come to an appreciation of re generating in the audio edit window.

Working with the waveform allows the user to pick the suitable place to begin and end re generating. Regenerating right on the bar marker might not be the best place to jump in and selecting a place sooner near a null point is smooth.
