If there is a section in a real track solo you particularly like, is there a way to make it repeat in other parts of the solo- or does BIAB just generate the solo and you have to take it as it is?

Many users use a DAW to rearrange and consolidate tracks.

You can use Band-in-a-Box to regenerate tracks and then render the tracks to audio files. You can also use the multi-riff feature in RealBand or the DAW plugin to create a bunch of variations.

Once you have a lot of audio material to choose from you can either use RealBand, GarageBand or your favorite DAW to cut, paste, copy and move audio snippets around in whatever order sounds best and most interesting to you. Then you use crossfades to join the parts together and create composite tracks.

The only limitations are time, your skill set, interest and imagination. Enjoy!

Thanks, Jim. I was thinking it might need to be done in a DAW.

Lot's of good ideas there though. Thanks.

looperboy,

Many people use Band-in-a-Box as a companion product to their favorite DAW. Over the years I've been a forum member I've seen many wishlist requests to revise Band-in-a-Box so the product will integrate easier with DAWs. That request, along with the publication of a 64 bit version of Band-in-a-Box are likely the two most requested features proposed by forum members.

In 2010 PG Musicc introduced a feature called "Plug-in mode for DAW" that can be enabled by pressing Ctrl + Shift + 5, navigating to "Window" > "Plug-in mode for DAW" or pressing the button labeled "DAW Plugin" located in the "Drop" bar between the Dropzone and "File" bar label.

The help file states in part "with the plug-in mode Band-in-a-Box is open as a small, always on top, window and acts as a plugin for your favorite DAW/sequencer, so that you can drag-and-drop MIDI or audio (WAV) files from Band-in-a-Box to your favorite sequencer."

However I don't believe the feature ever gained the popularity PG Music expected. Requests for both a 64 bit application and a DAW plugin continued.

As you know, 2019 saw the release of both a 64 bit application and multiple plugins. Whoosh, just like that, the two most popular feature requests are addressed.

Plugins are available for both 32 and 64 bit Windows operating systems. There are also VST2, VST3, AAX and VSTi and standalone versions.

I consider PG Music releasing both features simultaneously to be be one of the boldest, most audacious marketing moves I've ever experienced. I regret there have been teething pains but I believe we (users) are witness to a revolution in music creation and production. These two steps opens the door and welcomes the next generation of music makers to the possibilities the PG Music world offers.

I don't mean to gush but in this case I really am a fanboy. I can't wait to experience how new users will use this product. I can guarantee it will broaden my horizons.
