Bonjour,

J'ai eu la chance de me faire offrir " Band in a box " par un ami ( Laurent V ), lui même utilisateur et participant à ce forum. J'en profite encore pour le remercier.

Voici donc que j'ai une formule 1 désormais, mais je l'a conduit sans permis et sur la neige. ..

Pour tout vous dire, je suis assez quiche avec les technologies sons, je suis un relativement vieux gratteux, autodidacte ( avec un bon niveau je pense, mais mes connaissances en solfège sont nulles ... )

J'en viens donc à mon pb mais je vous donne ma configuration et ma problématique.

J'ouvre BIB via mon ordinateur portable ( Windows 11 )

Jusque là tout va bien, Laurent a eu une patience énorme pour m'aider aux paramètrages.

Je rentre la guitare aussi sur le PC, via un boitier qui s'appelle RIFF ( Bias fx2 ) et le son de BIB et du Riff sortent très bien sur les baffles Présonius.

J'en viens donc à ma problématique.

J'arrive à faire jouer des choses via BIB mais lorsque je veux enregistrer un solo de guitare, impossible, rien ne s'enregistre en appuyant sur le cercle rouge
" enregistrement audio "

Je ne veux pas encore embêter Laurent avec ça aussi si vous aviez des pistes sans mauvais jeu de mots pour m'aider à enregistrer ?

Je vous en remercia par avance,

Bonne journée et merci d'avoir lu mon roman ...

Hello,

I was lucky enough to be given "Band in a Box" by a friend (Laurent V), himself a user and participant in this forum. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank him again.

So now I have a Formula 1 car, but I've driven it without a license and on snow...

To be honest, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to sound technology. I'm a relatively old guitarist, self-taught (with a good level, I think, but my music theory knowledge is nil...).

So now I come to my problem, but I'll share my configuration and my problem.

I open BIB via my laptop (Windows 11).

So far, so good. Laurent has been extremely patient in helping me with the settings.

I also input the guitar into the PC, via a box called RIFF (Bias fx2), and the sound of BIB and the Riff comes out very well on the Presonius speakers.

So, here's my problem.

I can play things via BIB, but when I want to record a guitar solo, it's impossible; nothing is recorded when I press the red circle "audio recording."

I don't want to bother Laurent with this again. Do you have any tracks, no pun intended, to help me record?

Thank you in advance.

Have a nice day and thank you for reading my novel...

BIAB == Band-in-a-Box

Go to the menu: Options | MIDI/Audio Driver Setup. Click [Audio Settings], and then [Audio Drivers]. What is the Input Driver? You might need to set that to the interface you are using for your guitar...

Vous devrez peut-être le configurer en fonction de l'interface que vous utilisez pour votre guitare…

See screenshots attached...

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback (in your tone? Is informal address appropriate on this forum?).

Could you please explain what BIAB stands for?

Thank you.
Nous sommes un forum plutôt convivial, donc les conversations informelles sont assez courantes. Je travaille ici, donc j'essaie de rester un peu plus formel, mais aussi amical.

BIAB est l'abréviation de Band-in-a-Box ; vous verrez aussi souvent BB utilisé, et parfois BiB, même si personnellement je n'aime pas beaucoup celui-là.

Pour répondre à votre question initiale, nous avons un tutoriel vidéo dédié à l'enregistrement audio dans BIAB ici. L'audio est en anglais, mais en utilisant l'icône d'engrenage en bas à droite (ou en haut à droite sur mobile), vous pouvez activer les sous-titres traduits :

Vous pouvez également consulter notre collection de tutoriels vidéo ici : https://www.pgmusic.com/videos.bbwin.htm



We're a pretty friendly forum here, so informal address is fairly normal I think. I work here so I try to remain a little more formal, but I also try to be friendly too.

BIAB is shorthand for Band-in-a-Box - you'll also see BB used often, and occasionally BiB though I personally don't like that one much.

As for your original question, we have a video tutorial specifically for recording audio into BIAB here - the audio is in English, but using the Gear icon in the bottom right (or top right on mobile) you can enable translated subtitles:

Hi

Many thanks for your answers, I was exhausted yesterday, and I didn't see that you were not French people.

And, of corse, BIAB = band in a box , I'm stupid ...

I 'll try to understand the vidéo you gave to me.

Have a nice day
