How can I set to cancel this effect?

How to use it, I won't. Or where is the basic teaching video. If you follow a chord with three dots (...) e.g. C... this means the C chord is a Held Chord. It will produce a hold for that bar. You can also have a rest chord (one period 'C.') or a Shot chord (two periods 'C..') You can also allow some instruments to play during the hold, e.g. C...d means the C chord will be held but the drums will play.

You can type <Alt>+<F5> or right click on the chord and select Chord Settings which will take you to a form where you can select, like this: Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) 2021-12-07_23-09-50.jpg (49.89 KB, 91 downloads) BIAB & RB2025 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones

I can only come back to study BIAB, ha ha I have another new problem, that is, there is no drum in 1234 (I will set F5 for this) Now I want to add the drum fill in the last half of 4 (in the red circle), and then go smoothly to 5678... There are drums How to set this fill drum?

This video from 2013 shows the then GUI interface, but shows the dot notation that you can just type in for yourself. The 2022 manual has it on page 100. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjyz72Ndx6w Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.

OP babymusic Veteran B Joined: Sep 2021 Posts: 2,308	Gordon Scott: thank you very much. I found this video according to your link I found a new video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo9sben5x1M I finally figured out the logic. I feel a little confused. But I should understand. 1: Bar1 generally, drum mute should be set. 2: At bar4, you need to turn on the silent drum. 3: Then check the sound to be sounded in bar4 according to the setting of rest only all expect in chord setting, for example, only bass 4: Bar4 cannot be a separate C. At least C Then set according to the requirements to achieve the effect. To be honest, I feel a little complicated. Ha ha, I hope to have a drum setting as soon as possible to make things easier. ha-ha It's really a little difficult for a person who doesn't understand English to understand these. ha-ha Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) 2021-12-07_213227.jpg (90.99 KB, 63 downloads) Last edited by swingbabymix; 12/07/21 04:47 AM.

The translators are now really very good, but they still sometimes say the wrong things :-( I was sure there was a better video than the one I linked, which is why I suggested searching on YouTube. I struggle to find any detail on the official video page and it's crazy to watch hour long videos just in the hope of finding the answer.
