when I start a song (any song), The bass track always starts late by 6-7 bars. I'm sure it is some I have set up wrong. Can anyone help me correct this problem?

Is there a red box around measure 1 number, which could be caused by muting that track? Another red box on the measure where it starts playing?
When the bass does play, is it right, or is it six bars behind?
Is this a MIDI bass track, or a RealTrack?
Did you download a MIDI file to use to build this song?

Ok, thanks.
What version of BIAB do you have?
How old/fast is your computer?
[Where I'm going with these questions is to find out if your computer is overtaxed, and we need to adjust the RealTrack options. One way to evaluate your computer is to download and run the free utility, Geekbench, and report your score.]

Given your answers, I don't know what possible setting could cause that. Your computer is excellent.
BarryKJ asked if you did the Opt, Return to Factory Settings and that is a very good suggestion. If that doesn't cure it, I suggest you contact PG Music Support on Monday.

Do you have a chance to put one song (of any song that happens) up to a website and provide us with a link.
(I know that this might not work in the same way on one of our installations, but it is worth a try.)

This is a stumper. A couple of more questions for you:
1. Are you running from your computers internal drive or a usb drive supplied by PGM? If internal, is it the same drive that BIAB is installed on? 2. Is it any bass real track and/or style or are you trying the same one for all songs?
Edit: Taking a look at the new update for RealTracks, it seems a lot of the fixes involved bass issues. Are you up to date with BIAB and RealTracks?

Hi Oldtimer,
Have you used any shots, holds or rests with the opening chords? For example something like C.dpgs for the first chord?
Also, what is the volume setting for the Bass track? (Over on the mixer panel.)
Regards, Noel

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.

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."
