Okay, invested in the Band-in-the-box 2021 pro...I have a song project 90% done but I wonder, is there a way to mute instruments for a number of bars? Like I want the intro to be piano only, then bass & drums coming in mid-verse 1, and the strings to only come in on the choruses and outro.

At the moment, all instruments are on. I've been muddling my way through so far but I need to know what to do to achieve the desired result!

Yes. Press F5 at a measure, and select Mute for the instrument(s) you want. Then at a later measure, you can press F5 and select Back to Normal.

I address this topic specifically in my tutorial around the 12 minutes mark. Check it out and see if it helps.

Thanks, that worked!

There's another way to do this, which is a little more complex but also can work better. Changing to RealTrack 1152:Silence for those bars.
