Maybe it it is hidden, I can not find it...

In my opinion, it would be very useful to have an option in: "Audio Export" to export individual tracks dry and pan centered, without touching the actual mixer. So BIAB would render those files "dry", but mixer levels would retain initial pan and FX positions.

Misha,

Right-click on the "Master" track and select the option "Set mix to flat, dry and center". This will do the job for you.

Regards,
Noel

Using the Set mix to flat, dry and center will remove Fx and panning in the mixer. To set the mix to flat and retain the other mixer settings, hold your control key and double mouse click on any volume control button in the mixer that is not set at 90 and all of your Volumes will center to 90. The same procedure works for Panning. You can also hold the control Key and click on a track volume and move all of the volume buttons in sync.

If you open the frozen tracks SGU in RealBand you should get the required results.
But yeah it would be good to have an option, as Master > Set Mix to flat dry and center
does not undo

Noel, Charlie, Pipeline

Thank you for the advise, but this is not quite what I am requesting as a "wish"

The wish is: In Audio->Export Song as Audio File
In that "Pop Up" window to have a check mark box to "export files as dry and centered".... Without changing active BIAB song mixer positions.

I hope that makes sense.

Misha.

It makes perfect sense. Many digital mixers have the capability. In most, they are called Scenes. In the Behringer X32, there are 3 levels of saving mixer, routing, Fx, and other pertinent settings. Scenes save every setting. Snippets save only specified settings and Cues are a mixture of Scenes and Snippets.

These are used in these devices not only for specifying export settings but to save projects for future recall, preprogram projects and to backup and save all the board settings and creating Templates.

You can change everything about a mixer board setup with the click of a mouse.

Currently, the only option to save mixer settings in BIAB is to save the project, reset the mixer for export. Export the file and close and reopen the project with the saved mixer settings restored.

The BIAB mixer is digital and such a feature should not be difficult to add. Plus One from me.

Yes, in the context of the past two posts, where mixes could be saved and retrieved, exporting dry and centered makes good sense.

I agree Misha,
I exported a couple of tracks today and forgot to set the levels at 100 as well as panning & reverb.
On a newer machine it's just a cope of minutes wasted but on my preferred machine, running WXP and with not a huge lot of RAM it's a case of waiting 10 mins while the rendering finishes before starting again.
If nothing else a pop up asking if the user is sure they want to export with current level, panning & reverb settings would help remind a Gumby like myself.


Cheers

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."
