Hi,

could you please check if the _4THGEAR does the correct count-in? I have mine set to 13 1234 and all styles I have selected do this correct except for _4THGEAR. It seems to only do 1.....4.

Thanks, Paul

Yes it does the same thing on mine. My settings are set to hear 1-3-1-2-3-4

I get the 1st beat and then the 3-1-2-3 are silent and then I get the final 4th beat and the song begins.

Just on pure blind luck I chose another close style _harmles.sty and I get the same results on the count in.

They both use the following Real Drum track.

When I set that particular style to use MIDI drums only, the problem goes away since the MIDI drums play OK.

Same problem on style _perturb.sty and _disturb.sty

All are come on the XTRA PAK 7 package and they all use the same Real Drum track.

I would think that there is where the problem is coming from.

ADDITIONAL INFO: I just downloaded XTRA PAK 7 and re-installed it and it DID NOT fix the problem so the problem is still in the online package.

Hi Paul,

Tell us a little more about your setup.

What version/build number are you using?

What are your count-in preferences set to?

Hi, new in the forum. I can not change the sound of the metronome and also I can not change the volume. I have tried all the options available in metronome/preferences and nothing works. Please help. Thanks.

I have Countin set to "NEVER" on my system. But I turned it on and set it as shown below and all was as expected. I did drop volume from 85 to 55 and did not notice a lot of change, but perhaps I should have dropped it more to confirm it was working. Otherwise, no problem here with Build 823.

Oh, by the way when I tried _4THGEAR same problem as you all are reporting. Just tell the band you will count them in with the 1 of the first bar and 4 of the second bar. That will keep them on their toes.

You are mixing threads. Best to always create a new thread unless the problems are identical. I think we have confirmed the problem with 4THGEAR. But yours is still open. Remember the Metrome is midi so if you are having a midi issue your metrome will be silent. So, how are your midi tracks working?

Thank you all for confirming the problem with the _4THGEAR style (and the ones related to that particular drums track).

We have taken this to the top and are asking the developers to take a look to see what is wrong. Stay tuned.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

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."
