Previously I had no problem exporting audio from the start to the finish of my project. Then something changed. I don't know what I did, but several bars are missing when I do an export.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

How are you exporting audio?

Where are the bars missing? At the beginning? The end?

Are you on Mac or Windows?

What version of BiaB do you have?

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

What version/year of Band-in-a-Box are you currently using? Please make sure you have the latest build update for your version installed from here: https://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm

You could also go to Options | Return to Factory Settings, and see if that helps.


Best,

I think I've figured out what's going on, but not how to correct it.

BIAB is now exporting my audio at 44.1Khz. Earlier it was exporting at 48Khz. When I dragged the 48Khz audio into my Cubase project, that audio played along with the audio that was already in my Cubase project. But now the 44.1 audio is shorter in duration, so it appears to be missing some bars.

How can I get BIAB to export audio at 48Khz?

BTW, I'm using BIAB 2019 (most recent update) on Windows 11.

To export, I clicked the .wav icon at the top, and chose Export song as audio file.

Thank you.

I brought the 44.1 file into Adobe Audition and exported it as a 48 file, and it now works in my Cubase project...nothing missing.

But it's an extra step I didn't previously have to do.

Hmmm, I don't think I can help. I have version 2023 and use the Save Special command and then select .mp3 or .wav.

Hopefully someone has 2019 available. If not, is there an option in the settings that might fix the problem?

Hi HangdogCat,

See if this helps.

Under the Audio menu (#1), select Export Song As Audio File (#2) and set the sample rate to 48,000 Hz (#3). I use a bit depth of 16 bit (#4) which is BIAB's audio format but in BIAB 2023 this defaults to 24 bit. I'm not sure what happens with BIAB 2019.

In BIAB 2019, you may also need to use the Render button (#5) after making changes so that the settings become permanent. This will create a wav file. Older versions of BIAB required this step but it might not be necessary in 2019 as it's no longer necessary in 2023.

Regards,
Noel

You can't - version 2019 only supports exporting at 44.1KHz. Maybe you were using a more recent version before? 2020 and higher support 44.1, 48 and 96 KHz.

@Noel96: My export window doesn't have an option to select the bit depth or sample rate. But thanks for your suggestion.

@Andrew: 2019 is the most recent version I have. Which begs the question...How was I previously exporting 48Khz audio?

Anyway, thanks. And I'll probably upgrade in the fall.

HangdogCat,

I should have looked up 2019's instruction manual. My apologies for leading your astray.

I'm surprised that Cubase doesn't automatically convert the 44.1 kHz to 48 kHz. I use Reaper and it's seamless. I just drag my track across and Reaper looks after everything. Cubase is a very respected program. That makes me wonder if there is maybe a setting somewhere inside it that allows it to behave just like Reaper behaves.

Regards,
--Noel
