Should adding bars shift existing audio track? #793263 01/02/24 11:50 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

OP HogTime Apprentice H Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 187 California	re BIAB 2024 (1106): I'm working on a song that already has a vocal track on it. This track is labeled as Audio In the mixer. I decided I needed to have the vocal delayed a couple of bars after a solo. So, I added a couple of bars to the solo with only the rhythm instruments. However, this does not shift the audio by two bars later. Am I missing something or is this not possible without moving the audio waveform in the Tracks window? Thanks, Ralph HogTimeMusic.com My Songs on Bandcamp.com

So, the audio does not shift with the changes to the Chord Sheet. You would manually select and shift the audio from the Audio Edit Window.

Thanks, Hi Hogtime, If the bars had been inserted at the beginning, it would have been quite easy to move the audio track using the "Audio \| Edit audio \| Time shift audio menu". Since the bars have been in the middle of the song, adjusting the audio track is more complicated because it means essentially splitting the audio track into two bits and relocating the section that comes after the added soloist bars. Fortunately "Audio edit" makes this possible. Before doing anything, though, save a backup copy of your song (including the audio). Then if things don't work out as planned, you can return to the original and start again. Here is a pdf that I have prepared to explain how you can add the necessary bars.

If it had non destructive Audio editing the vocal would be split and moved without creating new files: https://stash.reaper.fm/u/ReaTrak (Scripts for Biab Reaper) Open SGU in Reaper Instantly
