Hi,

I have been a band in a box user for many years and versions, using mostly the basic arrangement functions, with some forays into features like the auto chord wizard and making use of lots of the various realtracks for the purpose of generating backing tracks for practice.

I recently discovered the artist performance tracks with vocals, and those seemed like an excellent tool for practicing fills in a band situation. After playing the track "Can't Get Hold Of You 85 blues fem F _LOWAVES.MGU", I can't figure out how the soloing resonator guitar is dropped in and out of the appropriate spots. First I assumed the F5 feature was used, but I see no signs of that. Then I recalled hearing about the "volume automation" feature, but after watching a tutorial video on how that gets used, I don't see any signs of that in the audio edit window.

I was wondering if someone could point me to what I'm missing here? I'm either in the wrong screens or modes or something, because I can see the notation and waveforms of the guitar 3 track that would normally be stomping all over the vocal.

Thanks,

Dave

There are F5 setting turning the volume down on Guitar 1 and mute Guitar 3 that is a frozen track.

That's it! I missed the volume button... I thought I had tried it, but maybe I had already messed it up hunting and poking around. doh...

I appreciate the direction.

thanks,
Dave

They could used Alt+F8 and just freeze the track to add sections between vocals.

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.

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."
