I want to cut and paste a solo of a song Ive written so took Noels advice and tried to transfer it from biab to real band.Looked at the tutorial and did exactly what it said (at least I thought I did) but when I drop and drag the individual tracks there isnt anything happening.Im obviously missing something but havent grasped what that is yet..if anyone can help it would be appreciated.Thanks Frankie

Do you have a recent version allowing drag/drop?

Is the track MIDI or audio?

Hi Rharv,I recorded the song with in biab RTs only and also generated the solo from RT.Ive got the ultraplus pack.I then rendered it to audio thinking maybe this should be done but still no joy.Thanks Frankie

If you can render the audio track to a wave file, you can use 'Audio-import wave file' in RB to bring it into a project.

Might render each track to individual .wav files so you can adjust, mute, etc. each instrument when importing into RB. One audio file will have all on one track so you can only deal with all of them at once.

Thought I said that. Guess it could be misconstrued..

I found that drag and drop only worked to desktop and then from desktop to Cubase - you could try desktop route

Hi Frankie,

I've just been playing around with "Drag 'n' Drop". What I did was:

1. In Realband, click on the "Plugin mode" button (on the menu bar beside "Print") set the Options for drag and drop.

2. Click on the "Plugin mode" button once more and select "Start DAW plugin mode"

3. Resize BIAB and RB windows so that I could see both.

4. Drag and drop individual tracks: I clicked on (say) Piano and dragged it to a track in RB. (It took about 20 secs for each file to be copied to RB. I don't know if it helps the process, but I generated my song in BIAB before dragging and dropping.)

5. Click on the "plugin mode" button again and "Stop DAW plugin mode".

Hope this helps,
Noel

Hi Frankie,

Have you - when you drag and drop - dragged onto the track number (the little number that should be red when you first select the track?)
If you just try dropping onto the track it doesn't work, only when you drop onto the little track number will it work.

Best regards
Michee

I really have to look at the video tutorial for this.What did work was dragging each track to the desktop and then individually to real band unfortunately everything was out of sync.I also tried the other things but what was happening was everything would go on one track even though I was dragging them to different tracks.All that was happening was each drag and drop would erase the previous one.Cheers Frankie

Hi Frankie,
What version are you using of RealBand as there was a problem (exactly as you report) that was fixed with an update.
Until you get that update you can do the following.
When you drag to a track, Realband will place it on the first track overwriting any data that is already on that track.
What you need to do is after you have dragged and dropped onto the first track you then ADD a new track so that new track becomes number 1.
You can then continue to drag and drop and it will retain your data in the 2 tracks.
Just add as many new track number 1's each time you drag and drop.

As I said PG Music updated Realband to correct this, but I can't remember which update number it was.
Just get the latest update and you will be OK.

Best regards
Michee

Hello Frankie,

Quote:

Yes, do as mentioned above (latest update). A couple additional notes:

--Especially f you are dragging a combination of MIDI and audio tracks, make sure to first set the correct tempo of your song in RealBand.

--After dragging one track, make sure your "Now" location is where you want it to be (e.g. you might need to rewind the song back to the beginning before dragging the next track). Whether or not depends on the setting in General Preferences "Advance current time after dragging/dropping".

In the future, you might want to try this...Save Band-in-a Box file as a midi. Open midi file in Real Band. Everything should be in place in in sync.

Frankie,
When you have an issue try to stick to the issue and not go off on tangents. Rharv had the best solution for you yet you go off on a tangent and never come back and report what he suggested to you. He may not reply to you in the future.
