How do you adjust the starting point of an audio track after you've imported it into a song?

Hi Russ,

Welcome to the forums smile

Click on "Audio" (#1) on the top menu; select "Edit Audio" (#2) and now choose "Timeshift audio (ms)". The 'ms' means that the shift is in milliseconds (1/1000 of a second): for example, 500 ms = half a second.



This should do what you're after.
Noel

Hi thailoneus,

There are a couple of ways. The easiest is to ...

1. Click on the "Reply" button at the bottom of the post.



2. Now click on "File Manager". It's located beneath the window used to type in text.



3. When you are in the "File Manager", use "Browse" (#1) to navigate to an image on your computer's hard-drive. When you've selected it and have returned to the "File Manager" window, simply click "Add File" (#2) and then "Done Adding Files" (#3).



That should get it happening for you!

All the best,
Noel

But how many ticks is that example 500 MS for the Tempo I'm working with?

MusiCalc to the rescue!

Near as I can tell BIAB uses 120 ticks per quarter note and since there doesn't seem to be a way to use anything other than a quarter note for a beat then:

ms/beat = 60,000/bpm

ms/tick = (ms/beat) / 120

So for 4/4 time at 100 bpm that would be 600 ms/beat and 5 ms/tick. I hope that's correct.

Your math looks good. But he asked for 500ms .. and it's the bpm variable that the calculator is handy for. Plus it does */4 and */8 time signature calculations for you. Not just 4/4.

I made that Calculator a while back, so I took the opportunity to share it with others. Seemed it might be related to the thread, and I felt that Noel had your original question answered already.

Oh, that's what you were referring to. I'm afraid I didn't initially notice the link to your calculator program. That's a handy tool, too bad it isn't integrated into BIAB. I'm not certain if it supports plugins or not.

Thanks. It's free as is, if PG wants to integrate it, it'll be twice that price.

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."
