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.
