What do you know about "Pushes" in BIAB? #738748 11/15/22 02:05 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

I was working on composition and progression called for the "push". When I typed it in, results were far less from desired. I couldn't understand what was the issue, until I pulled ACW view. The "timing" looks correct, but the waveform seems to be squashed. And no matter how many times I tried re-generating, it looks (and listens) squashed. What supposed to be a "natural" anticipation, became a distraction. So, I've tested few other styles (with different sets of RTs/RDs). Some "pushes" where acceptable, but I have noticed that on about half of the time, there was still this squishiness / flattening of waveform. What I have tried besides re-generations, pretty much everything on this (great!) list: https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=694482 To understand better what I am talking about, attaching 2 images. I don't use pushes very often, but it is in theory, great feature. Can anyone suggest what I could have missed to make them work right? Thank you.

I wonder if the Pushes in RealTracks are 'computer generated' rather than having been performed by the original recording artist? If so, this might be why they don't sound natural.

There are two settings in the RealTracks window you may want to try. Ctrl+E opens settings and RealTracks button opens the RealTracks window. Adjust PUSH velocity adjusts the volume level of pushes. Automatically fill gaps between riffs MAY be squishing the shot Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) Clipboard01.jpg (150.84 KB, 185 downloads) RealTracks window with push settings highlighted Jim Fogle - 2026 BiaB (Build 1224) RB (Build 8) - Ultra+ PAK DAWs: Cakewalk Sonar - Standalone: Zoom MRS-8 Desktop: i7 Win 11, 12GB ram 256GB SSD, 4 TB HDD Music at: https://fogle622.wix.com/fogle622-audio-home

I deliberately didn't want to raise volume in audio editor manually, as this was a persistent issue. I wanted to find a solution, not a workaround. I guess the drop in velocity played a trick on my ears. While I accept this as partial solution and THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge, my question before I mark this as "resolved" is this: Shouldn't a Push calculate proper volume level automatically?

They just use the Holds as you can see in the gif below the track is the same sections as in Biab BUT you can adjust it how you like. With Drums you can select the push you want and not take what you are given.

I would not think so as that is what the manual setting is for. Each Shot and Hold folder is used by multiple RealTracks recorded over a span of years. Content of the audio clip can drastically change the apparent volume level during playback. Everybody hears differently so the best option in this instance is to let the user have control over the apparent volume level of Shots and Holds. My guess it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible to have a calculation for proper volume level that would please everyone.

You just get so much more control than with a consolidated wav.

Well, I do not adjust volumes for shots, rests and holds (at least in BIAB) and I use them often. Because more or less they are within "comfort" range for rough audition. "Pushes", it seems drop significantly in volume in 1/2 of the cases and sound very confusing. I will leave this unresolved for couple of days to see if it attracts are couple of more viewpoints. --- Musocity, I do remember the concept of non-destructive editing very well. Do I support it? Yes. I believe you presented your case well. But it is up to the owner to consider it or not. I have no clue how difficult it is to implement this within existing BIAB code (probably is).

I find the default values jarring, but I can only speak to the jazz and Latin genres I use most frequently. I am surprised by this waveform because I would have expected louder, not softer.

It is already in the Biab code, as Reaper just plays the Biab data section direct.
Implementing NDE code, maybe way down the track or not at all ? the BB Plugin/Standalone is way easier.

You have the RT Hold db adjust deep down in the soloist dialog (it should adjust the Pushes as well ?).
You could Freeze the tracks and save the SGU then close it, then adjust the Hold level,
then open the SGU and generate to see where it is.
But that is no easy task like is being done in Reaper non destructively.

This would be like the current track data that is stored in a frozen SGU, you have "RiffdbOffset"
so Biab should be able to apply an offset to the current track RT data then re-write it back to RAM giving you the level adjust, without having to implement NDE.

It should go by the db of the track to the db level adjust of the Hold/Push. Maybe PG could do this before youtube get around to it

To leave it unsaid means the vast majority of people will either leave it as BIAB does it or not use the push feature as it doesn't meet requirements. Good spotting one & all...yet again WORKAROUND is the BIAB way for now. Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe

The brand-new side toolbar provides quicker access to key windows, while the new Multi-View feature lets you arrange multiple windows as layered panels without overlap, creating a flexible, clutter-free workspace. We have an amazing new “AI-Notes” feature. This transcribes polyphonic audio into MIDI so you can view it in notation or play it back as MIDI. You can process an entire track (all pitched instruments and drums) or focus on individual parts like drums, bass, guitars/piano, or vocals. There's an amazing collection of new content too, including 202 RealTracks, new RealStyles, MIDI SuperTracks, Instrumental Studies, “Songs with Vocals” Artist Performance Sets, Playable RealTracks Set 5, two RealDrums Stems sets, XPro Styles PAK 10, Xtra Styles PAK 21, and much more!
