I'd like to create a drum part by combining small bits of several MIDI files I've already selected.

So, I create a track to do this, so... how do I copy fx. from bar 29 to 34 of the drum track of MIDI file 1 and use it as bar 1 to 6 in the one I've created to this purpose?

Inquiring minds would like to know. cool

If you have the MIDI files already, one way is to use import the MIDI file in RB

If MIDI is currently in BiaB, drag it to the Drop area. Save it as a MIDI file.

Make sure RB is set to MIDI type track
RB: File> Import > Load, find the MIDI file
Select the track, then copy it, select another track, position the cursor, and paste it(you can set where to paste in the paste dialog)
There are probably many other ways too...

Thank you for the detailed answer, Video Track. Much appreciated.

As you said before, they MIGHT be other ways, maybe simpler/faster to do this?

Is there a faster, easier way to skin this cat?

Any takers? wink

Lt Kojak, It doesn't really take very long to do it this way. Comfortably less than 30 seconds. But I'm also happy to hear other ideas.

Man, now that I've tried for myself, it REALLY is simple and fast.

I'm now realizing how long it must've take you to make the captions, trim'em and compose the post.

Thank you very much indeed one more time. If you ever come to Milano, Italy, let me know and the first couple of beers will be ON ME!

Yours very truly,

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."
