RealBand Users,

Please help.

How to export drums and bass to separate files from RealBand (RB)?

Here is what I have done so far.
I loaded a Biab file into RB
I generated it in RB.
I played it in RB.
I want to export to WAV or MP3 files, 1 file per track.
I clicked Export Selection in RB.
It says No Audio Data In Highlighted Area To Export For Track 1.

I think my questions are something like this...

So how do I select tracks for export?

How do I export to 1 file for drums and 1 file for bass?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi Mark,

Welcome to RealBand and to the forum. I hope this answered your question. I see you've been a forum member for awhile but don't post to much. Great to hear from you!

@ Jim Fogle,

I appreciate your reply.

However, I am sad to report that I did what you said and it did not work as I hoped it would.

Here is the screenshot of what happened.

[img]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1thIWZxql4Hmcz9yZjQat5LHF7-Nr-seK/view?usp=sharing[/img]

Here is what I did.

I clicked on the first track.

I did a CTRL+A to select the track.

I clicked on the Export Selection button.

And I got the "no audio" warning.

Please LMK if you have any other ideas.

(Maybe I did something wrong.)

Thanks.

Mark. Track 1 in your image is MIDI data and not audio.

<< I want to export to WAV or MP3 files, 1 file per track. >>

You must assign a VST Midi instrument to that track and render it to audio first.

You are using MIDI tracks, so there is no Audio until you Render the MIDI to Audio.
Use the above mentioned method to select the whole track.
Then right-click and 'Auto Convert' the MIDI to wav using the option shown in image below.

All,

I appreciate your excellent help VERY much.

I have a solution that works for me.

I understand now that a MIDI track does NOT yet have an actual audio component, so the MIDI needs to be generated to AUDIO via a VSTi/DXi, (more or less?) and so on.

But, I found an easier way is what I am doing-- use RealTracks!!!

I create the song in Band In A Box (BIAB) and use all RealTracks.

I open the song in RealBand (RB) there.

I choose > Render, > Save All Tracks To Individual Files.

I get a folder with 1 WAV file for each track.

That is EXACTLY what I wanted.

Here is a screenshot, just in case.

Yes, that works too, as long as the tracks are Audio smile
You previously had MIDI, so now you know how to do it both ways.

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
