Hi, I recently upgraded from BIAB 2022 to 2026, both WIN. I found that songs created and played for years on v 2022 without any MIDI tracks have no lead-in count-in when loaded and played in v 2026. The song just jumps in on the first bar of the song. I have versions 2022 and 2026 running on separate screens simultaneously on the same computer and I have made as many of the preferences settings as exactly the same on 2026 as they are on 2022 with no success. MIDI settings, audio settings, synth settings, etc. are all the same on both. When I make an update of the settings on 2026 I close 2026 and re-start it and regenerate the song with no success. I can play the exact same song on 2022 and it immediately counts in. Then I'll try 2026 and there is no count-in. The song plays and sounds the same, the only difference is the lack of count-in. MIDI drivers, audio drivers are exactly the same, same computer, same sound card (Soundblaster Audigy FX), no changes. The only change is the full fresh installation of v 2026 on a separate HD from 2022 with all 2026 files pointed to the HD location of 2026 (i:\bb) , not the 2022 directories (f:\bb) so there shouldn't be an issue of cross contamination. The only files that are common is the actual song file itself that is loaded directly from a common folder and played on both v 2022 and 2026. I have reset the version 2026 back to the "factory settings" with no success. I'm tempted to copy the preferences file from 2022 over to the 2026 folder, but I'm concerned that would screw things up beyond repair. I thought that perhaps the count-in relied on a MIDI drum, but I opened the song demo _ACCNTRY demo (all realtracks) and the count-in played successfully from the realtrack drum in the file, and I could see the count-in in the tracks window. When I open the song that I have been experimenting with that I had been using from 2022 in the tracks window of 2026 I can see the empty measure where the count-in should be at the beginning of the song, but no count-in beats on any of the realtracks, yet it plays the count-in just fine on 2022, but not on 2026. No doubt I'm overlooking or missing some setting or something simple, but I'm at a brick wall after many hours of beating my head against that wall. Does anyone have any thoughts of what the problem might be? Thanks in advance. Update: I just now installed and ran the new build and that did not solve the problem.

Hi BluegrassPicker.
Could you please let us know one of the Bluegrass styles that are creating issues so that some forum members can test it?
Regards,
--Noel

Hi BluegrassPicker.
I've just tried the _ACCNTRY style and I get a count-in but it is quite soft. I'll pass you post on to the development team.
Regards,
--Noel Thanks! _ACCNTRY has the audible count-in on both of my versions, 2022 and 2026. I'll try to upload one of the files that doesn't work on 2026 so they can dissect it if needed. UPDATE: Link to dropbox file download. File Dixie-Hoedown.SGU https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mue0qt9jil1sgutxzflz6/Dixie-Hoedown.SGU?rlkey=gfgslm5env6ksrredi3euiclw&st=6m1hrg0v&dl=0

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
