Using BiaB Audiophile on Windows 10

Is there a setting to reset all instruments/tracks to play through a song?

I know I can do this manually by listening through the song then going into bar settings to unmute an instrument. I'm just wondering if there is a convenient option somewhere to just reset all instruments/tracks to play.

Thanks.

I have BIAB 2021 but this method also works for unmuting all instruments over the last several versions.

At the Bottom of the BIAB Mixer is the Master Track. Clicking the Mute Button Mutes or Unmutes all tracks. The same result for the Master Freeze Button.

Other useful resets are:
On any track other than the Master Track, holding CTRL and mouse clicking on the track's volume button resets all tracks to 90.
On any track other than the Master Track, holding Shift and mouse clicking on the track's volume button resets all tracks to 127.
On any track other than the Master Track, holding Shift and mouse clicking on the track's Panning button resets all tracks to 0.
*** NOTE***
This only affects tracks where volume and panning have been moved from the default position. The user must select one of the tracks that have been moved for the action to work.

Not sure if this is the function you are looking for, but in Chord Settings (function <F5>) you can reset all bars in one operation:

This is a helpful thread. I went to the Help to read about the Mixer.
I wanted to cement the operation of the modifier keys on the track volumes in my mind.

I learned some helpful things.
1) There is a TONE adjustment on each of the Tracks. From Full Bass to Full Treble. pleasant surprise Oh My!

2) According to the Win2021 Help in the Mixer Window section
the Ctrl, Shift and Double-click operate a bit differently on my system.
Double-click = reset to default
Ctrl + drag the slider = all tracks align to the same setting value being dragged
Shift + drag = all tracks are moved while keeping the relative setting differences

cheers! RrR

The answer depends on how the sound is muted.

If track(s) are muted using F5 settings then use the Reset All Bars button in the F5 window.

If track(s) are muted using the Audio Mixer then click the Master "M" (Mute) button twice. The first click mutes all tracks and the second click unmutes all tracks.

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."
