B.

it would be best if you posted a pic of your nome settings so people can advise you correctly ...its always best to post your settings pics if you get problems
so people dont give you incorrect info.
notice alyssa pg metronome faq in the ptw faq's....
are you useing an asio driver ?

if your new to this i would suggest you read all pg faq's .
also my tips re useing a pc for music production in the tips tricks forum.

did you know you can roll your own metronome tracks in ptw ?

i have very fond memories years ago of doing loads of songs in ptw and then stunning big commercial studios what could be done with ptw. as in 'what ...for that price i dont believe it'...lol...good memories.
seriously ptw is a steal and i encourage you if your new to really delve into its features. it saved me yonks ago serious money on 2 inch ampex pro studio tape costing 200 bucks a crack.

its a gem imho for such a low price...
anyhoo post your metronome settings.
whats your sound interface ? if you need a decent one once again see tips tricks forum for suggestions.

Audible count-in is something that wasn't implemented when using Dxi/VSTi soft synths. That's because of the latency involved. During playback itself, the latency of the buffers can be taken into account when sending the metronome notes to the soft synth. I could try eventually having it implemented in the future, but I'm not sure if that would result in the count-in notes being slightly delayed and/or possibly the last count-in note being cut off when actual playback starts. It would really depend upon what buffer sizes are being used.

Whenever I work on a song, I usually create a 2 bar lead-in (such as by generating RealDrums or filling a track with a drum pattern) which serves as the count-in if recording from the beginning, and if I need to record in the middle of the song I usually don't rely on the metronome count-in but just use the punch-in feature and start a bar or two before the punch-in point.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
