Pickup measure #799123 02/08/24 01:05 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

OP Funkifized Journeyman Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 477 Lowell, MA	I asked the ChatAI about how to set up a 2-beat pickup measure. It said to set the first bar as 2/4, which I did. Next bar is back to 4/4. However, I want A13 on beat 1, and A13(b9) on beat 2. It won't do it. Just does A13 on both beats. What to do?

You should be able to select bar 0 then do a partial regen but it's not working yet. https://stash.reaper.fm/u/ReaTrak (Scripts for Biab Reaper) Open SGU in Reaper Instantly

The trick is only the first two beats are active. Thus you must input you chords like this: A13,A13b9. I hope this helps and good luck. My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

And, yes, I did enter it like that, but regenerating still didn't add the altered tensions in the chord. Just vanilla A13 chord.

The chances of the RealTracks having an A13 chord let alone an A13b9 is slim same if you used A. A13..,A13b9.. you would not have that in the Shots n Holds. If you use midi you can get what you want. https://stash.reaper.fm/u/ReaTrak (Scripts for Biab Reaper) Open SGU in Reaper Instantly

Entering A13b9 later in the tune works out fine. However, entering it as a one beat held chord goes back to A13 with no b9. I guess I'm going to try Editable Real Tracks to see if I can just add in the missing note.

Now the problem is that the two held chords, A13 and A13b9, are quite a bit louder than the rest of the track. I fixed that for the intro, which is a 2/4 bar, by changing the volume for all instruments in Bar Settings to -20. However, this chord hit happens later in the tune, which is in 4/4. The A13... A13b9 hits come on beats 3 and 4 within the song(this happens a few times. How do I change the volume on all of the instruments at just beats 3 and 4?
