simple piano part [Resolved] #639546 02/01/21 08:51 AM Beginners Forum

OP 46RP Newbie 4 Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 6	I apologize in advance if the answers to my questions exist on the forum. I have done a search. A song I'm working on (country rock flavored) has a piano part on the Soloist track (all the other tracks are used). I'm using RT #2026. I want the part to have a simple rhythm and I did hear it a few times randomly when I reloaded the song. unfortunately it did not stick. I think I can use the "freeze" feature to lock it in when it comes up. Right? The main question is - How to I find this part since many of the times I reload, the piano part is too flourished for what I need? Other than reloading the song multiple times, and then listening to the part, is there an easy way to search for this part? Second question - If the part I want comes up in one part of my song, is there a way to copy and paste it into another part? Or can I somehow choose which part I want the track to use? I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for reading this. Richard

There are a few places where you can specify what is called ‘simple’ for a track. But I’m confused. You said your piano part is on the Soloist track. That track, and the Melody track, do not regenerate so they should be playing the same thing each time. Please give us more detail so we can test: What version of BIAB is this? Mac or Windows? What build number (see this in Help, About). BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus Studio 192, Presonus Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors

With MIDI it doesn't matter as you can edit the pasted part to fit the chord structure. I hope this helps. My wife and I decided to never go to bed angry.

I also noticed there was no Simpler option on the top right of the RealTrack picker. That tells me you should look for another RealTrack if you want simpler playing. None of the acoustic piano soloist country tracks have the Simpler option, so try one intended for a higher tempo like #1865. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.

MarioD, Thanks for the reply. Pardon my ignorance, but how do I copy and paste a part of an instrument track to another place in the song. I know how to copy and paste chords to new sections of the song. If I copy and paste chords will they include the musical part that's contained at that point in the song? Thanks again.

If you don't have a favorite DAW and you are on a Windows OS then you have one in RealBand. I use BiaB as a scratch pad. I input chords, pick a style, and do a little messing around in BiaB but all of my heavy work is done in my DAW. I find this workflow works best for me.

You would have to regenerate the song to include those new copied chords. My wife and I decided to never go to bed angry.
