There were 111 measures and everything just stopped suddenly. Of course it sounds horrible. Checked the settings and the option to have the BIAB ending was disabled. I selected it and it's fine, but how do you do the ending other than the BIAB generated ending? For example to have the instruments naturally fade out after the last chord? Thanks. Annette

Firstly, I let BIAB play four extra bars on the last chord and I have the "generate ending" option turned off. In BIAB the song will stop abruptly. I then load the song as wav files into Sonar (it is also easily done in RB, although a little differently) and then I simply: position the mouse cursor in the middle of the end of the track and drag the track to the left so that track-length is adjusted correctly for where I want the song to finally end; position the cursor on the upper right corner at the end of the track and drag it to the left to create a fade-out. This might give you an idea or two. Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

The song will fade evenly over the number of bars you indicated. BiaB 2013 b366, RB 2013 b4, WinXP Pro SP3, Toshiba M70, 1.8GHz 2GB RAM 100GB HD. Focusrite Saffire 6 USB, Ketron SD2.BiaB Wiki

Tracks imported into SONAR will stop playing at the end of the last MIDI track. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home.

In order to extend the end of your song, you will need to make your song a single chorus, or use a tag ending. Andrew PG Music Inc.

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
