Where can I set the generated audio files to be all aligned?
I know it's more human to not align.
But some of my music is mechanical and the beginning of the sound has to be aligned.
How can I align all audio files generated by BIAB or BIAB VST.

Apparently this was discussed in the past. But looking at the picture shown above, there appears to be a problem. Mutiple beats off the grid line is hot humanization, it is poor timing. grin

Very simple: you unlock the magnetism and you align tiptop. Are you sure they're not anacrouses?

I thought the 2022 new version will have a function to adjust whether it is humanized or not.
Because I'm doing electronic music and I don't want to make a little sound earlier

good point Mark and MoultiPass. swingbabymix obviously has a digital delay unit set to slapback echo after 12 months.

I guess at this point it’s like singing traditional favorites around the campfire. One kicks it off, others recognize a “classic” and join in.

But it’s only 3 months.

Not sure where you are seeing this is the same problem.
2022 just launched, I'm here to ask a question about aligning audio to see if 2022 is new for support, any questions?
Are you not going to eat tomorrow? You won't eat tomorrow because you ate today?

You don't look at your phone today because you checked your phone yesterday?
I paid for the software, and I asked the question in use on the forum. Do I still need to be supervised by you? Are you a forum administrator? Or are you the boss of BIAB?

Or is it stipulated here that questions about the BIAB 2022 version cannot be asked?
Or are you the dictator here?
Is your attitude good for the BIAB forum?
Is it the same when you communicate with others in reality?
I originally wanted to recommend BIAB and the forum to my friends, but now I need to think about it

All I've done is point out that you asked this exact same question 3 months ago, and got a lot of responses, some of them quite lengthy, from a half dozen people. The thread went on for days. At the end, you appeared to be happy with a particular editing technique offered you.

Now it's like that all never happened.

Your question in this post – right down to the screenshot – is virtually identical to the earlier one.

I would ask, "Why?" but I understand your explanation is, "Oh, that question was about the 2021 version, this question is about the 2022 version."

Best wishes for a bountiful harvest.

I have had years of that, that is why Biab was stuck in the past for so loooooong, that's why I go off these days.

The pic below is the actual section an positions the item are place in for musical timing. For whatever purpose you need it to start on the bar, like for use as a loop, I can do that in Reaper with the original track data by setting the start point further in the item so as to snap to the bar but keep the rest of the item in timing.

So with the new 2022 version coming, can I stop asking if it's possible to get the audio to be strictly aligned?

You were satisfied with your meal last night, so you don't need to eat today?
You are satisfied with your meal today, so you don't need to eat again tomorrow?
Do you get along with people like this in real life?

Do you wish there would be no questions asked in the BIAB forum?
Because the answer is in the manual? Don't look at the PDF yourself?
Do you want the BIAB forum to disappear completely?
Should you go to the hospital?

I get that this is a metaphor for your "hunger for knowledge", but the situations are very different. You have to keep eating, every day, or you'll die. On the other hand, if you ask a question, and people answer it, it can be helpful to keep track of that information for future use.

I saw that you said this to Bob but quickly deleted it, so I was surprised to see it again. Over here, we would say "take your Prozac" or something. It's considered rude.

Are they the same questions or are you missing what the story is, is it going over the top of your head ?

I know users the thought for sure swingbaby was a spam bot.
Why was I able to help him, maybe I should of let my personality judgement kick in and attack him ? That is the best thing to do, if you don't understand something, attack it !!! The Blind Leading The Blind.

If you can't turn you personality judgement off and tune into the person on a higher level, then you are easily led by the blind and follow the blind you will remain in the pit where those following the blind end up.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.

The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
