Hello,

Is there notation for real tracks? If not, how can BIAB show me on the keyboard what notes are being played from real tracks in seemingly real time, but not show me notation? Maybe there's a "render mode" that I'm missing? I literarily just opened the program for the first time in over a decade and I'm trying to feel my way through it, but thought this was very odd!

Thanks in advance for the help and reply.

Hello,
Some Realtracks do have a notation feature. If a track has a RealChart, the track name is green and underlined with a short line. Refer to BIAB 2011 manual, chapter7, pages 178 - 198. Have a look to these pages, that is not waste time.

Yes, most of the RealTracks have notation. We call the notation 'Real Charts'.

If you look in the RealTracks Assign dialog, there is a column that tells you if RealCharts are available for that RealTracks.

Also, the track name will be underlined in green, if a RealChart is present.

Note that alost all of the guitar RealTracks also RealCharts, and this also includes on-screen guitar fretboard display.


Have Fun!

We must have a different manual because those pages dont line up with "Real Charts" (page 70 for me) but of course I'm making my way through it. Theres a lot to cover! :-)

Thanks for the help! Real charts seem very cool, and according to the manual, it looks like you can take those "real charts" and export them as midi files (pg 70)! I actually asked your support team about this via live chat and they said it was not possible to export "real tracks" as midi files, but it seems you can do just that! I could see in your demo video the (s) on the keyboard following the "real soloist" so I thought it MUST be possible to export this as midi info. Glad that didn't dieter me from buying BIAB!

Thanks!
Jon

I was referring to the 2011 BIAB PDF manual. Take a look to the Table of contents, and you will see that chapter 7 is relative to Realtracks and Realdrums. The exact number of the page depends of the actual version of the manual you get. What version of BIAB are you running ?

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?

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."
