In RB there is an Options - Resolution setting.
Simply put, setting this to as high as your computer can comfortably handle allows more accurate edits.

The four images below are audio, but technically it also allows more accurate MIDI edits.

These first 2 images below show my allowed starting point for my selection using the default 120 resolution setting; I can't grab the start point of the audio exactly where I want to (the arrow shows the desired start point).
The second 2 images show the accuracy of changing from a resolution of 120 to a resolution of 3840.
The last (4th) image is zoomed in to show that it even makes a difference on how much you can zoom in on a track to edit it when you increase the resolution. At 120 you can't zoom in this close at all.

Thought I'd share in case it helps others.

I did not know this setting had any effect besides MIDI. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, this setting is important during audio editing also, especially when you need to be a bit more surgical/exacting.

Glad it helped.

This is a VERY useful RealBand tip because the setting is so easily misunderstood or overlooked.

Misunderstood because most users would think Resolution is a MIDI only setting and does not apply to audio. Overlooked for the same reason.

In my forum responses I frequently suggest users change Resolution. I try to remember to credit rharv for the initial inspiration.

The only downside is that it makes the math a little more complicated for some things (like working with delay units that use milliseconds or working in odd times), which is why I created this handy 'music calculator' -

Thanks, rharv. Like Matt, I was unaware that this affected audio, too.

This is very useful information.

Good on you for posting this here!

As I mentioned in my post-2019-release rant, the ability to change resolutions in RB is one of my favorite things about this year's updates...and I barely even use RB!

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."
