Hi
i have BIAB 2013 for Mac and am trying to set up a repeating backing track to practice over that only has a count-in at the beginning. I have it set up with the woodshed function, so that after one chorus the tempo increases by 5bpm. If I tick "allow lead in bars", then after each chorus the count-in starts again, which breaks up the flow of the solo. I am using RealTracks for all the parts (Bass, piano and drums). Any advice would be gratefully received!
Cheers Pete

Pete,
Welcome to the forum. You need to increase the number of choruses - the default is 3, but you can set it to play as many as you'd like.

Hi Bruce,
Thanks, I've been reading the posts and they're very informative. I've increased the number of choruses to 3, but the tempo then increases after 3 choruses e.g. |:2 bar count-in|Fm7///|Bbm7///|Eb7///|Abmaj7///:| x3 then the tempo increases by 5 bpm every 3 cycles including the 2 bar count-in until it reaches the maximum set tempo in the woodshed settings. I've also tried selecting and deselecting overall loop in the Song menu and re-generating the RealTracks each time, but this doesn't make any difference.
Is there a setting that will enable this? E.g. 2 bar count-in, then |:Fm7///|Bbm7///|Eb7///|Abmaj7///:| increasing by 5 bpm every 1 cycle until it reaches the maximum set tempo in the woodshed settings? Pete

Pete,
I think you can do what you're trying to do - select the section you want in the chord chart, set your woodshed settings, then press LOOP (NOT play). This WILL NOT include the count-in. Give it a try and let us know if this is what you're after

Thanks Bruce. It's not quite what I'm after, because it would be good to have a count-in to enable me to prepare before the loop started. Could it be that the overall loop function in the Song menu always includes the intro/count-in, therefore what I want to achieve isn't possible?

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."
