Hi, I'm a newbie.
I have BIAB (Windows) 2021. Love it, and have a question about recording. I have been successful in creating a backing track and now want to add a guitar solo. I have done this. I see the "Audio" track listed in orange in the mixer window.
But I messed up one part of the solo and want to create a second track with the fix. I tried to do this and the second recording was added to the first.
I guess what I'm asking is what is the procedure for doing this? I must be missing a step somewhere and don't see anything about this in the instruction manual.
I learned how to use Audacity a few months ago. In that program I was able to import a backing track and then add a completely separate solo track. If I made a mistake, I could edit out the bad section, and start recording again from that point in the song with a new track. Essentially I assembled a couple of separate solo tracks to create the entire solo. Does BIAB work the same way or is the procedure different? Thanks in advance.
Tom

When I get to this level of recording (needing multiple recorded audio tracks)
I move the project to Realband (it comes with your BiaB program if on Windows).
Then I can more intuitively record additional tracks and Edit those tracks as needed.
In RB you have 48 tracks to record audio to, so fixing a section is easier for me.
Just record it on a different track and cut out what you don't want on the other (original) track
Just a suggestion in adapting your workflow ..
Open the Biab file in RB
Record additional tracks .. save as SEQ file
Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

So one day later, I'm happy to report that I figured this out. It's easier than I thought. Duh.
So problem solved. Recordings in progress....

I don't use Real Band for recording. I use it to generate more real tracks than what the BB style has in it.
I use Sonar as my DAW for recording. You might have figured this out or not.... but in some DAW's and honestly I don't know if RB has this or not or how easy it is to use if it's in RB.... but.... In Sonar, I simply highlight the area around the mistake, and use the punch in/punch out function to fix just the mistake. I delete the mistake and the recorder turns on and off automatically as I play that part.
Yeah... don't be afraid to ask questions. Lots of experience in this forum on recording and how to do it the best way.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I have the exact same function in Studio One Pro 5.
According to the docs RealBand does have punch in and out. In RealBand's launch help window type in punch and you will see those docs.
Note that I do not use RealBand so I do not know anything else about its punch in and out capabilities.

Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

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.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
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."
