I found this problem during my .wav file generation. I have the 2 check boxes needed for the drum lead-in and no drum lead-in gets added to the wav file. The 3 boxes that are checked in that area are Merge in Audio Track, Include 2 bar lead-in and Include drum count-in sound. If I turn the drums on, then I get a drum lead-in. If I turn the drums off no lead-in.
Why is this not working? I was going to play with a drummer and need the lead-in.
I have the microsoft gs wavetable sw synth with a sigmatel audio card. I have xp sp3.
thanks any help is appreciated,
John

I'm not in front of BIAB to test this, but how are you muting the drums? If you are using the radio button with right-click & mute, instead of that try F5 in bar 1 and mute them in that dialog. If that doesn't work, change the drum volume in bar 1 to zero.

One more time than the posts.
Soon it's going to be...I bought this old computer that says Atari and it has the band in a box on it, how do I get it to sound like the Jazz at the Linked In centre orchestra?

Hi John,
One solution I can think of, is to make a MIDI file that has the count-in, and for every file that you first want to render, you could first load that MIDI file onto the Soloist part (menu-Soloist-Import MIDI file), and set the Soloist-Track Type- to all channels, so that it plays a channel 10 drums count in.
I'll try to add another solution in an upccming version of BB.
Matt's solution might be a better one, to just mute the drums using F5 ( I havent tested that, though it might also mute the countin.)
Have Fun!

OK, now I'm intrigued.
Just to be clear, it works OK on playback, right? We're only talking about rendering to .WAV where it does what you say?
Double-checking: I have Opt., Preferences, Count-in/Metronome set as follows:
Allow Lead-in Bars CHECKED
Play Lead-in even if Intro Present CHECKED
Lead-in Type is Count-in
Audible Lead-in CHECKED with Volume 64
Smart Lead-in is NOT CHECKED
Lead-in Drum Count if Drums Muted/Disabled CHECKED
And whether or not the radio button for drums is muted, I hear a count-in when I hit Play.
________________________________________________________
Suggestion for workaround: if you can't get it to render correctly (and we should review the steps you are taking to do that), then you could always just record the song in real time. Open an audio editing program, set it to record, and playback your song. You will record what you hear, and as I say, the count-in works on regular playback.
ps I don't have anything about merging in an audio track. What version of BIAB are you using? And it's on a PC, right?

Follow all your Chords with .bgps that should give you count-in and no drums. Just a work around though.

Yes, it works fine on play back. I elminated the drums and you have the count-in. It is only when you save it to a .wav that it doesn't add the the count-in. I tried the lame mp3 and there was no count-in as well. I think this is a bug since the software gives you express options to add the count-in. I didn't mention i have biab 2012.

The F5 in Bar 1 with a mute on the drums worked great!
thanks,
John

Cool.
Hope Peter notices before doing any work on this. Sounds like it should be an FAQ item, though (assuming it isn't there already!).

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.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

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."
