Hi All.

2 problems

1. I have for hours been trying to change the visual count in.

I have been using the same, just the visual, not audible for years, which is 1 2 1234.
I select 1234 1234 but it will not change. I have saved it in preferences.

2. I record a horn part in the first 16 bars of a song,(recording stops at bar 16) from my keyboard via a Yamaha MG10XU interface. It records and works perfectly. But, at bar 17 the output volume automatically decreases for everything.

cheers

Hi,

The first thing I'd do is to save my preferences and then to return to factory settings. Both of these commands are under the Options menu. Try returning to "MOST" preferences first. If that doesn't work, then try "ALL". The "ALL" option will need you to reconfigure your Audio and MIDI drivers.

Regards,
Noel

If that doesn't work, make sure that you are running BIAB with the latest update. The version that's installed is found under "Help | About band in a box". The latest is build 845 if you are running BIAB 2021.

https://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm

It can be downloaded and installed manually from the above URL.
