2 Count-in measures after Rendering..? #235234 01/15/14 02:06 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

I have a composition that I have used Real drums with and I only wish to have 1 bar of intro (a drum fill)at the start. All is good before the render - the song starts with a fill, then proceeds, but when I render the song into a .wav, it plays back with 2 intro drum fill bars. What do I need to do, as any setting I change in the preferences area seems to have no effect? Regards, Smokey...

It's always possible to load the wav into Realband or a DAW and simply cut the part of the beginning you don't want. You might also like to try setting the rendering option shown below to 1. I haven't tried this latter option but, in theory, it should work. To access these options, go through the WAV icon (#1) and then select "Save all tracks as WAV files (with options)". When the options dialogue box appears, set up the areas in highlighted rectangles as shown below. If you want to put the audio in a different directory/folder use #3. When all is good to render, click on #4. Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

Countin is always going to end up as being 2 bars long, hard coded. i would try this instead: In the Prefs->Countin, wet it for SILENT. Okay to have the Visible Countin invoked if needed. Then I would use the "Insert Bars" command at the very first bar of the file and insert 1 Bar there. Click on the number 2 at the beginning of the 2nd bar to turn it Blue for a Substyle A drum fill, or click again to turn it Green for a Substyle B drum fill. If the main song starts in substyle A and you've picked a substyle B fill, don't forget to change the next bar back to A. Then make the beginning of the 2nd bar the First Bar of the Chorus by changing the first of the three number blocks to the right of the songtitle window from 1 to 2. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com

Yes, and you're right, I can load my saved wav's into an audio editor to trim the start - but would be good if it rendered it how I wanted to start with. Thanks for the heads up buddy..!

Yup.... did that on a song recently. ^^^^^ works fine. Don't like the fills at the intro? Tell it to regenerate the drums. Copy and paste are your friends.....

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
