Please download this video first grin

When I play demo, the sound is very good
If you drag and drop the generated wav to the Daw, the sound changes
How can I keep the sound consistent? Where do I need to set it?
Because I don't have much time to mix.
I think demo's voice is very good.
thank you.

Interesting. I don't know the answer, except to say there are two issues.
1: The level in the DAW is much lower, and that may be improved by gain control.
2: The DAW sounds like it is playing in a different key, 2 semitones lower.
The first audio is in the key of A and is created by PG Music. It's level may be quite much louder.
The second audio is in the key of G.
I loaded the demo from the main BiaB program.
Also, this second screen capture is probably the reason why the song is playing in a different key.

I suspect that it's your rendering preferences. Have a look at these and set the following.

The group shown by #1 on the image below, make sure that these are UNCHECKED.

If this group of options is activate, then the reverb and panning that's present in the demo will not transfer to the tracks when they're dragged to the DAW.


Also...

Make sure the "High quality tempo stretching" (#2) is is ACTIVE and has a CHECKMARK.


Lastly...

The "Normalize renders" (#3) is worth trying both UNCHECKED and CHECKED.

I suspect that when it is active/checked, all wav files will be maximized from a volume perspective and this will destroy the balance between the sounds.


From the sounds of things, you may need to turn the volume of your BIAB VSTi track down a bit to match the volume of the collective output DAW tracks, too.

Hope this helps.

thank you. My current practice is as shown in the figure. I may not be professional, but this is my feeling.
1. Check this box to make the sound louder.
2. Remove the hook. Some tracks have reverberation
Now I think this setting is good. What do you think? Or is your habit?

I choose 3. The sound becomes very loud. I don't think 3 is suitable for checking

In fact, I want to know how to use it correctly under normal circumstances?

Noel is correct you need to experiment to find optimum.

BIAB Demos are fully mixed right out of the box. That means reverb and EQ and panning are added. This gives them that sound. If you 1) check render: flat - no EQ, or 2) dry - no reverb or 4) Center - no panning.

If you intend to only use the BIAB tracks, then best to uncheck all these options since PGM has already mixed for you. But if you plan on adding other tracks to your arrangement, best to turn these off and do your own final mix all tracks.

Because the translation is to uncheck all options, I don't understand whether to "Cancel" or "select"
I only use band in a box tracks. How to set the best? If it's convenient, send a picture.

Thank you for your picture. I tried.
But the sound is too small to be used immediately

Can't you apply some gain to get the level where you would like it to be? It's up to you to get the sound level set to your liking.

At the beginning, I didn't want to study too much. I always thought there was a more convenient and intelligent way.
When I finish my research, I can almost finish a song
I'll start studying mixing right away. ha-ha grin

I just found the problem again. Why can't VST set C and D, but the main program can.
The biggest problem I encounter now is that the programs are in English. I can't understand the details, so I can only understand some meaning in general. cry

The program is available in several languages. We still don't know your native language?

There is no version in my language. As I mentioned in the article before, this is not the key. I can basically master it. The computer has translation.If you want to know, I'll tell you in a private letter grin

Check your picture and be aware not to deal with sound.

However, if the dealer dry mix option is checked, it means that there is no reverberation.
If you don't check it, you can add reverb, which is different from your original.
When the mouse is up, a line of words "dealer dry mix: check this box to render with no revert. This option will also bypass the tone filter" appears“
Right, so this option is logically opposite to other options. Other options are checked and work.
The dealer dry mix option is checked and has no effect.
I think this place should be improved. It's better to be simple. Like other software, check the gain, reverb and so on

Maybe you have a wrong choice.
After repeated tests, I found that
If it is not checked, it is with reverberation
Tick means no reverb
However, this software is very wrong, and the tick becomes negative. There is a logical problem. I hope the designer can correct it

I understand what you mean today.
In order not to destroy the original design, don't move the three in the upper left corner
If I want to make the sound louder, just check standardization. If the sound is too loud, I will reduce it separately
If flat mix doesn't choose, the sound goes through EQ, right

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."
