I get an error message whenever I try to time shift the audio track by a negative amount. It is fine if I try to do it by a positive amount, but when I do it by a negative amount I get the message:
Access Violation at address 00AF1DEB in module 'btw.exe'. Read Address of 00000958.
Why is this? BIAB Help says it is possible to do it by a negative amount.
I've tried both. The part I'm trying to shift starts at bar 5, so I've tried setting the shift to start at bar 5. But I've also tried setting it for the beginning of the song, with the same results.

I wonder could you confirm what version and build number you are using?
Also, is this in btw.exe? or another file?

I suspect the problem is that the audio file actually starts at the beginning of the song, and you can't move it back before the beginning of the file. Instead, I would probably load everything into RealBand (just select the BIAB file; it should also pick up the associated audio file). Then, you can instead cut out however much you want from the (most likely) silence at the beginning of the file and then slide the audio content to the left by that amount. Listen to it to make sure everything lines up. Save it back as a BIAB file (you may have to export that audio file with the same name as the BIAB file; not sure). Be sure to use different file names so as not to overwrite anything important.
Just a thought.

Ah, thanks John. That would make sense. So, if in future, I start recording on the audio track from bar two or three, that would mean I should be able to move the audio track back using time shift without any problem?

In theory, yes. In practice, I would just try it and see. Personally, I would just do the realignment in RealBand, as audio editing is much easier there (but I also am familiar with RealBand, so I realize there could be a learning curve).

I contacted PG and it turns out I've found a bug in the program. It should be possible to set a negative value in time shift, even when the audio starts at the beginning of the song. So hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Run into this same problem. Seems it's anew bug as I've been using timeshift before. Hope it gets fixed as with the bug BIAB is useless for audio recording due to recording delay...
The bug only happens if the Audio Edit window has not yet been opened in the current Band-in-a-Box session. So, the work-around is to open the Audio Edit window before doing the time shift.

You can shift any region of the song. If you choose to start from the very beginning, and shift a negative amount, it just deletes the beginning of the track.

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
