We've had thing issue before. If I mute the soloist guitar in the the first 8 bars, sounds great in BIAB. Then I use the bar settings to unmute the soloist, again - sound great in BIAB. However, when I render to WAV, the soloist (Guitar) is not to be heard.

We've had this before, as I said and there was a fix for that. The fix has disappeared.

Can someone duplicate this issue, please?

Thanks in advance!


Cheers,
Mike

Mike, can you add the letters '.txt' to the song file name (e.g. MySong.mgu.txt'), and use File Manager to attach it to a post. Someone here could review and hopefully come up with some suggestions.

I tried your suggestion and got the opposite. I muted the soloist for the first 8 bars. The song played as expected, but when I dragged the Master to the wav section of the drop-zone, the resulting wav file played the soloist for all bars. In other words, the Muting function did not work at all in the export.

Are you running Build 840?

Attached is my test. Remove the .txt extension

Ya, this one has been reported in the beta forum by others and should be getting much needed attention. crazy

Hello Mike,
this bug was present in build 822 and was fixed in build 823

An additional annotation: it seems that the error is only present using Realtracks. MIDI-Tracks are O.K.

Just tested backwards with build 825 (next official patch following 823 which was a beta. All works fine. The reincarnation of the error takes place somewhere on the way to build 840.

So it appears to be another item that worked, then was broken, then got fixed, and then broke again?

I believe saxgh pinpointed version. 838 was ok., So I guess started with patch 839.

Crazy glue?

We were able to reproduce this bug and have reported it to the development team.

MikeK, just to confirm that we are following your steps correctly in your original post, do you mean you had the Soloist muted, decided to unmute it so that it is playing throughout, then Render? Or did you want the Soloist muted only for the first 8 bars, then start playing, like what VideoTrack had done?


Best,

Thanks Chantelle. I also had reported it, so hopefully they will implement a fix soon.

Not being impatient ... just wondering smile

I understand that this has been fixed for the next build release, but I cannot say when it will become available, only to say that it has been identified and resolved for the next release.

Probably/hopefully not too far away.

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."
