Sounds like a trick question, BIAB is quite limited in its time signatures.

From the Help AI - Band-in-a-Box allows for a variety of time signatures, including 4/4, 3/4, 2/4, and 1/4.

Rob,

Do you mean how do you change the time signature for one bar from 6/8 to 9/8?

I am thinking you mean time signature. The only way I know that might work is to add an additional bar and set the number of beats to 3, then back to 6 on the following bar.

Yes Jim, and yes sir Trev! I am still trying to figure out 6/8 time the instructions say start with 4/4 time then choose a 6/8 style, that gave me a headache. Now I need a second bar of 3 wouldn’t 4 and 3 be 7?

Maybe that’s either Canadian or Aussie math!

In BiaB you an only take beats away from a time signature, never add them. The only way to 'effectively' get the 9/8 is to have a bar of 6/8 and then add another bar with 3 beats. I hope this helps (and doesn't confuse anything further crazy )

So, in a style where 6/8 is emulated in 4/4, you would add a measure of 2 beats. This adds 3/8 for a two-measure of 9/8. Then go back to 4 beats in the next measure.

No, I didn’t try it yet …

Okay i have the extra bar set to 2/4 time and it acts like a rest for the proceeding bar but the next bar after goes back to 4/4 time(6/8) but the chord delays and it only plays 2 beats then go on to the next bar. So it is not correctly returning to 4/4 time. The immediate solution is to change the bar back to 4/4 time and the rest is just a little bit longer

Now this would be way too easy:

Yes, planned for sometime in 2023.

Sync with any decimal varying tempo map.

We plan to add support for floating point tempos and any time signature, in BiaB, plug-in, and RB.

>Go over 255 bars.

Yes, planned for BiaB & plug-in. Already possible in RB.

>48khz / 24bit source wav/aiff files.

We have source wavs for this 24/48, and are looking into it. This I will take time, but should be worth it.
