OP Daniel Donval expert Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 969 Brittany (FRANCE)	Bonjour, After generating solos with the soloist for a given song, i would like to re-use - for my own playing - some portions which seem good to me. I have generated different solos with the option "solo in a style similar to" ..... I would to extract from these solos just some portions and paste them into a common file. Do that, i opened a second session of BIAB. But it is not possible to copy a file (or portion of a file) from one session and paste it in a second one. I do not know how to do that. Can someone help me ? Thank you in advance for you assistance, Daniel Last edited by Daniel Donval; 09/21/19 12:20 AM.

This could be be done if the song was in Realband -- if you have BIAB for Windows. If you want to save sections of a solo and stay working in BIAB, it's necessary to save the audio file in BIAB and then drop it into a DAW. From there, it's possible to use the DAW to copy the section(s) you want. What I do when I hear something that appeals... 1. I freeze the track - that means that that Realtrack, i.e. the frozen one, will re-generate the same each time. 2. I remove panning and reverb for that track because I like to add those in my DAW. 3. Then I make a note of (a) what bars contain the solo I want to keep and (b) the Realtrack number. 4. Next I right-click on the Realtrack's name in the mixer and from the menu that appears, I select "Track Actions" and "Save track as wav file". 5. When I name the track, I use the format RealtrackNumber_bars_xx-yy.wav. For example, if I use RT 3221 and I want to keep bars 34-42, I'd save the file 3221_bars_34-42.wav. Doing it this way allows me to know where to look once the file is in my DAW because the information I want is in the name. 6. I can now load that wav file into my DAW and extract the bars that I want. Hope this helps, Noel re-modelled and re-mixed: A Road With New Horizons MY SONGS...

You answered me on an audio aspect point of view, but it is not what i want .... When i mention copy/paste it is related to the notation (the score, the notes..). My idea is to get a final file with only the good ideas that i found in various solos generated by BIAB so as to study them later on. Merci encore, Daniel (from Britany)
