I am seriously intrigued by this suggestion. I tend to work in the other direction: I make a rhythm backing track then take the WAV file created by BIAB into another program, my notation program. Thus I don't use or need many of the features others use, such as VST3 support or the ACW.

One reason I must go that way is the fact that BIAB is limited to tempos of integers only.

If BIAB supported non-integer tempos, I could match up BIAB files with other software better. Or, as I think Mario is suggesting, if BIAB could IMPORT an audio file and normalize the tempo to two decimal places, I think it could change my workflow to keep me working in BIAB longer.

I know we all keep saying this. BUT WHY? BIAB can create a "tempo map" in the ACW which will match not not only fractional tempos, but varying tempos! So if it can do this why does the BIAB app not have the ability to manage this for us with any midi and audio it or we provide? cry

Matt, Dan is correct about tempo syncing and the ACW. He's also correct that using the ACW tempo map, BIAB can import an audio file and match fractional tempos as well as varying tempos. Users can also record audio without a click track into BIAB and sync with the ACW.

In 2025, using the new Stem Splitter, users can import original audio recorded in 1955, split the recording into five tracks and BIAB using the ACW can tempo map and normalize each of those tracks and sync them with BIAB tracks. The Stem Splitter seems to work with most original or commercial tracks.

As a side note. PG Music finalizes all of the Artist Performance Sets - there's currently 18 I believe. All of their demos and tutorials as SGU BIAB songs. Their workflow has always been the reverse of your and others export to DAW workflow. They import DAW material to sync and normalize with BIAB.
