The UserTracks feature needs updating and fixing as there are too many outstanding issues. If you could get them working more professionally it will be a lot better. As you now have the BB Plugin that can generate UserTracks. Some issues I remember are: Shots n Holds (Jim had a suggestion to have the Holds folder in the UserTrack folder. Over Transposing maybe have an option like RealTracks No Transpositions. Midi UserTracks
Please post any ideas here..

Hello everyone This post has already been published I just wanted to remind pgmusic that we are likely to many that the problems related to usertrack must be solved and especially to have answers from pgmusic I think it would be the least for all the users who have been buying your products for years otherwise why in 2014 you created this feature if it should never function normally as the realtrack to all users thank you for supporting me. good music to all.
Good morning, everyone, First of all I would like to thank you all for the help you give on the forum it's great. But as far as usertracks are concerned, it would really make sense for one of the pgmusic managers to tell us what they intend to do about the missing features in usertracks ( artefacts problem , does not take into account the fisheries and agreements maintained, limit the number of key transpositions, the BIAB reading engine should transpose at most half a tone, not more than we could create, say, a UT with 6 keys so we will not lose quality if the sound is transposed by half a tone) In this thread. Peter Gannon had announced that he was updating the features of Usertracks in January 2016 so maybe all of us biab users deserve some explanation and to know if there is a future with usertrack. I thank in advance on behalf of all users of biab to pgmusic for giving us one or more answers. I apologize for my English, I use a translator. Balbuena.
At the bottom of the F5 Bar Settings Window is the "UserTracks Development ..." button. Pressing that button opens the "UserTracks Development Settings" Window. However there is no guidance in the Band-in-a-Box user manual as to what the settings do or suggestions for how to use them. However, the Band-in-a-Box Help file does provide rudimentary information about the settings. I've put the Help file information into a pdf file and attached it to this post.
Step 1 has to be add setting descriptors to the Band-in-a-Box user manual. Step 2 should be to elaborate more about what each setting is and provide how-to-use examples. Step 3 would be to follow up with a video tutorial.
The suggestion Pipeline alluded to in his initial post is for each UserTracks folder to have nested "Holds" and "Shots" subfolders. Inside each subfolder would be either recorded holds or shots audio files paired with holds or shots sgu files.
When the program encounters a shot or held chord in the chord sheet it looks in the proper UserTracks subfolder for the special chord. If there is no exact match the program uses its pitch shifting magic to create the special chord unless the "no transpose" option is selected. Then the program plays silence. If the program can not find a special chord close enough to create an artifact free chord, then the program plays silence.
I can't see anything, I didn't hear anything. If you have Reaper you can create and generate any wav mp3 mov mid usertrack with ReaTrak then drag n drop it into Biab. Though it would be good to be able to do it all inside BIAB.

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.

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."
