In some styles, I found that the bar setting mute function failed.

such as：

_LIGHTLY.STY. Lightly Multi Vox Ctry Folk Bal

I've set the drum and guitar mute
But the two guitars still have sound.
Is this a style bug, or is there a problem with my setting?
Have you met?

Exactly which build of BiaB do you currently use (Help > About Band In A Box)
Is it 906?

Yes.I'm 906

Yes, I attempted to mute a bar and it was unsuccessful. _JVELVET Velvet Jazz Funk Fusion

I decided I liked what I had so I did not report it.

BIAB 2021. Build 906. Windows 11 up to date.

...Deb

Unfortunately, I couldn't repeat your findings. Every instrument I muted, stayed silent. Is there any chance that you saved the song as an Audio file at any stage? If so, it would possibly be playing that audio copy of the song as well as the SGU file.

Whoops, let me do some more checking first. I'll be back...

DSM：

Wow, this style sounds good. I haven't found it！

I just tested it. Indeed, it cannot be muted.

Biab 906，Win10 21H1

OK, I've done further checking, and still could not repeat your findings.

Please check if you have exported / saved the song as a audio file with the same name.

VideoTrack：

So where do I clean up?
But I shouldn't have done it. Including the "_jvelvetvelvet jazz funk fusion" introduced by DSM just now. It's my first time to listen to it, and I can't mute it in bar settings.
Are you sure you have found the right style? Then you set guitar mute in 1bar. When you play it, you will find that the guitar is still making sound without mute.

Please download the sample song. After downloading, remove the '.mp3' file extension.
Then open the song in BiaB and generate it. Do the guitars mute for the first 4 bars, then start playing at bar 5? That's the result I get.

THANKS!

OK. look video,download:

I have had the same issue with the below:

_VISION.STY [Style Vision Modern RnB Fantasy]

Just loaded the Demo and changed it to one big chorus. The piano went bonkers at the end of the song, kept playing odd notes. So, I muted the Piano for the last 8 bars, which worked fine. Next play, the guitar did the same thing the piano did as described above. So, I muted the guitar for the last 8 bars as well, only to find that the piano was still muted, the guitar did NOT mute. I "covered" it up with the guitar solo I added. So, I'm ok with it.

This seems to be a sporadic issue. Duplicating may be difficult. I think that the 2 bar ending may or may not work well with certain styles. Just a guess.

OK, please try this, and load the song again:

MikeK：

Yes, the problem is the same. I've shielded my guitar. But the guitar is still playing. I recorded a video and download it. https://ufile.io/270s1s1q

OK

BUT,
Will this operation make my favorite LIST saved lost? How to save favorite LIST

You definitely didn't have the song I sent you.

Note my song has a red underline on Bars 1 (mute guitars) and 5 (un-mute all).

Your song does not have this, so I think you did not correctly load the song I sent you.

Don't worry about the save. Please load the new sample song I attached here.

Just save and load this Test song and play it and show me the video of the song playing.
Download the attachment, remove the '.mp3' extension so the file name looks like this: 'SwingBabyTest.SGU' then open it and play it and make a video of it and send the video. Thanks.

HI,VideoTrack

My internet speed is slow. In order to upload fast, I narrowed the picture. Look carefully, there is a red line.
I'm not shrinking now. Let me show you again. Look carefully. There is a red line.
I just opened the sug you gave me. I didn't make any changes.

Hey VTT - did you by any chance see my post in this thread regarding this issue?

I did Mike, but I'm trying to get the other one sorted first .

I don't know if yours is related to changing it to one big chorus? Just a stab in the dark, I really have no idea.

Edit: I'm listening to the _VISION demo now.

OK, so do three things

1: Return to Factory Settings - Most (you can save current preferences first)

2: Load the second Test Song I sent.

3: Create a video and send it.

好的，所以做三件事

1：恢复出厂设置-大多数（可以先保存当前的首选项）

2：加载我发送的第二首测试歌曲。

3：创建视频并发送。

Didn't do anything for me when I encountered this issue.

ok. download:

https://ufile.io/z8j8a9wn

Well, Mike. I listened to the entire demo song, and fund no issues (well, on my computer at least).

What happens if you reload the song from scratch and just play it without unfolding or changing anything else? Do you still encounter a problem in the last 8 bars?

Thanks.

Did you do ALL 3 things:

Item number 1 is most important

(第 1 项是最重要的 )

好的，所以做三件事

As I mentioned... it's sporadic. I tried it when I saw this discussion and it played fine.

I guess, you can hit some sour notes when you re-generate the song a number of times. My workaround was to freeze the good tracks and regenerate until the guitar was acceptable in the ending. Still didn't mute as instructed by the bar settings, though for this particular style.

Tried other styles with no issues for muting at any bar during a song. It's one of those mysteries I have no answer for and I doubt, the developers can do anything about a "random" issue like this.

Anyway, thanks.

Mike, Charlie and others have reported strange things happening - but only on some user's systems. I'm sure they'll get this sorted. I think I'm going to report this particular thread to the developers...
Trev

Thank you, Trevor. Appreciate it!

There's still a problem

download :

https://ufile.io/y9kyyrx7

I tried styles mentioned, mutes / unmutes at the bar setting dialog work as they should for me.

Sorry, I didn't see what you meant.
Is there a problem, or is there no problem?

Well, I don't know how to assist any more, but I will report to the developers and reference this thread. Hopefully they can work out what is happening.

Sorry I could not help you resolve.

Stay tuned.

I have reported this post and all of its contents to the developers. Hopefully they might be able to answer.

Are you OK with these styles? That's strange.

The same software, the same version, actually happened

_VISION Demo

Just loaded it and did the following BEFORE playing:

- use bar settings on bar 25 and mute piano as well as guitar
- then go to bar 1 and set both back to normal
- hit PLAY
- at bar 25, the piano mutes as instructed, the guitar plays on
- now, without changing anything, hit Generate and play
- again, at bar 25 the piano mutes as instructed, the guitar plays on

So, there is an issue for sure. And yes, I did the return to factory settings before the test. Hope, this link below works... it's the Demo saved as SGU

https://www.dropbox.com/s/mhf4irb4wii6buk/_VISION%20Demo%20-%20Vision%20Modern%20RnB%20Fantasy%20test.SGU?dl=0

Yes, they all work perfectly here. I have referenced this entire thread to the developers, including your videos. Let's hope they find and resolve the issue quickly.

Mike, if you do a RTFS and then download this test song and generate it, do the guitars play for the first 4 bars on your system? (remove the '.mp3' from the file extension after downloading).

Nope! Muted.

Did you see my test? A couple of posts above yours?

This is exactly what I hear in your download - no piano, no guiatar until bar 5. So all seems fine. (Build 907)

Yep, weird for sure. Works for some, not for others.

It worked for you with the first 4 bars muted, but was erratic for bars 25?

Are we talking about MY demo now ? LOL - getting confused.

Starting Bar 25 is where the guitar does not mute.

907 ？？？？？

These come pretty fast this time of year. Stay tuned.

Can someone please check this one? Rename to .SGU after downloading. Thanks.

25bar set the guitar mute, but the guitar is still playing

Works as it claimes here.

i need 907

Build 906 which is the official (last) one posted? Or are you already using a BETA of 907, Dan?

Well, if it works in the upcoming new Build, I'm satisfied.

I am using it to learn Santana's Europa and just fell in love with that style. There are places where I am playing a solo guitar and attempted to mute.

I have some other matters today but will return to factory settings as soon as possible and see if it solves it.

...Deb

Mike, I downloaded, generated and checked. Both Piano and Guitar tracks played from Bar 1 and both muted on Bar 25, for both choruses. So it worked correctly on this system. But obviously problematic things are happening somewhere

It won't be far away... That's for sure. However, there is nothing in 907 that indicates this particular problem is identified or resolved.

Thanks for checking, Trev. Appreciate it.

Come on, let's hug.
At present, there is something wrong with our Biba software.

Yeah - for some of us there is a problem. We shall see what happens.

Mike, it's definitely been reported to the developers, including the information that multiple users are affected. Hopefully they'll find the cause soon.

There are two more questions recently.

1. Click choose style similar to... And an error will appear
2. Sometimes, when you double-click the style, the style changes, but BPM does not change. (occasionally, restart will solve it)

If it's convenient, submit these two for me.
thank you.

Definitely I have reported the first one, and it has been acknowledged by PGM staff.
I'm not familiar with the second one. Can you provide any additional steps? Do you mean to double-click on the style in the StylePicker?

https://ufile.io/8m9cnf62

I recorded a video. No matter how you choose style, BPM will not change.
It has always been 85bpm

Changing Styles does not change tempo. That is as it has always been to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks for that. An excellent video which demonstrates the issue. Let me do some checking...

Yes, I agree with Dan. Changing the style for a specific existing song doesn't change the song tempo. However, if you have no song loaded and change styles, it will update the tempo to reflect the tempo of the newly selected style.

MusicStudent:
hi

no no no

download :

https://ufile.io/2q8yiypd

If you change the style, BPM changes automatically.

VideoTrack：

Oh, I see.
If I make a change and I change to another style, BPM will not change.
If I don't make any changes and I click any style, BPM will change with the style.
Am I right?

Yes, but you do not have any song loaded.
Now load a song and try again and the tempo will stay the same.

Nearly right.

• If you have no song loaded (File > New Song) then the BPM will change when you change the Style
• But if you have song loaded, the BPM will stay the same when you change the Style.
• The difference is whether you have a song file loaded or not.

I don't understand this sentence.
Does not load any songs mean that they are not generated?
I just clicked generate, and then select other styles, BPM will also change.
Whether the BPM changes or not seems random. Sometimes it changes and sometimes it doesn't change.
What does not load any songs mean?
thank you

Please see my post above.

A Song is different to a Style. Try File > New and then change Style and the BPM will change, because now there is no Song loaded into BiaB.

Now I see. Create a new song, and BPM follows the style change.
If you load a song (open a song), BPM is fixed.
I finally understand. Ha ha ha ha

Yes, you got it right

Ya, isn't that what I said? <<said with a big smile >>

Sometimes I can't understand the translated words.
Sometimes logic must be stated clearly, including vocabulary.
For example, loading songs, I don't understand.
But if I say open is a former SGU file song, I will understand.
It's not the problem of Google translation, it's my ability, so I need to continue to study hard and make me happy.
Thank everyone

Try this new build (still in test) but it resolved my bar setting mute issue:

https://dl11.pgmusic.com/support/patch/bb2022_win_update_build908.exe

I don't dare try. It hasn't been officially released yet, ha ha


Do you see if this bug has been fixed?
Click the first or second time, and this error dialog box will appear

No - still getting the error you get. Sorry.

By the way - this error happens no matter which style you have loaded and try to find a similar style.

No, Cannot Focus Window issue is not fixed yet in Build 908.

VideoTrack：
Can fix the mute problem, which is already very good.
Thanks to your immediate submission and the active repair of pgmusic team.
But I'll wait for the official release. ha-ha
By the way, can the upgrade span? For example, if 904905906 is not installed, can 908 be installed directly?

Yes. No problems there at all.

Then release it quickly

No harm in installing now. But, you can wait. Once the official release is posted, I will install 908 again anyway.

Unless you are advised that some other update/patch is required first, you should be able to upgrade directly to the latest patch for the current year version, without implementing multiple intermediate releases.

I report the same problem with 2022/906.
Changing from "all choruses" to for "ex chorus1" does not change the problem...
Bernard

We think that build 907 (probably due shortly) may resolve.

I'm also experiencing this issue on a few styles (e.g. _MAGENTA).

Looks like it's already being looked into, but hope it gets fixed soon as it's a pretty key feature!


Edit: Running BiaB for Windows 2022 906

hi.. help me see this:

https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=689568#Post689568

Tres (RT 1821) is refusing to mute for a few bars in _SONMON2 style.

Can't find much rhyme or reason for when this occurs, but I'll keep noting them when they crop up.

Bar settings mute invalid - it's back, yep!

Tried WAX.STY Wax Funky Lap Steel Blues

- Solo (Guitar 1) on bar 1 muted, back to normal in bar 2.
- Save SGU
- Play
- Solo (Guitar 1) not muted on bar 1 (F5 shows back to normal in both, bar 1 and 2)

Thanks.

EDIT: Tried another style (FACETED) and I did NOT have the above issue. Weird. Sporadic again just like originally reported.

I take that back... saved the Demo song for FACETED as something else, changed key signature and increased the bpm.

Then I set guitar 4 to mute in bar 1, back to normal in bar 2, saved the song... checked again bar settings - bar 1 for git 4 shows back to normal, so does bar 2. So, I can narrow it down to the actual issue: when muting bar 1 and setting back to normal in bar 2, BIAB does not keep that setting.
