Please add support for UserTracks Shots & Holds. Per page 125 of the 2022 BiaB User Manual:
Quote:
Note that there is no specific support for shots or hold by UserTracks. They will just rest when these are encountered.
.
UserTracks were first introduced in 2014 with the promise
Quote:
You can use the UserTracks in a similar manner to using RealTracks.
As long as UserTracks do not respond to the chord sheet in the same manner as a RealTrack then UserTracks can not be used in a similar manner as a RealTrack.

One way a UserTrack could respond as a RealTrack would be to include "Shot" and "Hold" sub folders under each UserTrack folder. Each shot subfolder could contain a SGU \ audio file pair of shot recordings. Likewise each hold sub folder could contain a SGU \ audio file pair of hold recordings.

Oh yes. +1

This is one of the reasons I never did much experimenting with User Tracks. Of course now it would be easier to do audio editing on them, but why make extra work?

+++ HERE +++ is an older thread on the same subject of UserTracks Shots and Holds. Both Pipeline and I offer suggestions about the functions can be accommodated.

I think PGM rarely, if ever, post into this forum.
I suspect that's to avoid any kind of implied support or bias.
I'm pretty sure they'll take note, though.

This will let you add shots n hold to userstracks and adjust them as Pushes also.
Some userstracks in the Usertrack forum have the shots n holds already in them that can be used this way. These userstracks were made with holds thinking that PG would fix the problem, but I think it's been a while now.

This forum is upside down!

I know you can go to new posts, but latest posts in a wishlist should be presented at the top, not bottom of the forum when you open the subforum. Who needs to know what someone posted in 2008 on a version of BIAB long forgotten?

Anyway, I just added a post on a possible alternative method to at least resting the utility tracks.

Automate Mute in Utility Tracks


Help! I've fallen up and can't get down!
