I am so frustrated with the BIAB Import Audio/Stem splitter process. I have been working diligently on developing a consistent import, bar setting and splitting technique and have met with nothing but inconsistency in behavior despite rigorous testing and work flow development with tremendous help from this community. I have been at this for a year now with every song I try giving different results and often failure. This is not about just splitting. It is about the manipulation of an imported audio file as noted below.

As far as I can tell the process of importation of an outside MP3 and bar setting is erratic at best. Tonight trying to equalize tempo even crashed the program several times. The chord analysis is often way off. I just cannot take this any more. It is my firm belief that this process is not ironed out sufficiently and is way to hard to understand even after working with it now for the better part of a year and I am usually very software adept.

The splitting of the stems on an imported file seems to work just fine like all the other options out there such as Moises, lalal.ai, Song Master Pro etc. But the bar alignment, tempo setting, chord analysis, attempting to align a track with the BIAB 2 bar drum count-in, etc. just seems like a disaster to me. I am very disappointed in that I upgraded last year for this specific functionality. I just need to stop this incredible time sink and get back to my music. I will most likely just split a track in BIAB and export the stems where I can use them elsewhere or just use some a simpler app for the splits and be done with it.

I have realized that sometimes a process that seems to have great process may just not be clear enough or reliable enough to not cause more frustration and lost time than it is worth for me.

I am not posting this as a rant, but rather many of you have helped with working out of a work flow and I have been so grateful for your help. What a great community. My purpose is to update you on my progress and perhaps let others know that this process of importation and manipulation before splitting may be frustrating and very hard to understand. Progress update and communication is all that I am up to here. And gratitude. Cheers.
