I uses BIAB latest version and created a song. I recorded and saved vocals on Audio track, but when replaying, the vocals start 2 bars ahead of time. Anyone have a remedy?

what driver are you using, what soundcard/interface? 2 exact bars lag seems a bit odd

Open the BIAB Audio Editor and select the Audio Track. Select and highlight the entire audio WAV file by placing the cursor at the very beginning of the Audio WAV and cut it (Ctrl-X), move the cursor to the correct opening bar and paste and all should be well.

All is ok. Audio placed correctly.

Bob, I think the issue results from recording audio defaults to -1 bar as the start of the song unless another starting point is designated and selected. It seems to be the default regardless whether recording audio or importing audio.

mmmmmmmmmm - that would make sense but am i right in thinking BIAB doesn't allow audio monitoring the same way RB does? with my set up in RB you sing along with the playback on the usb interface monitor and everything lines up. the BIAB recording method seems a little odd if you can't sync with the track by default.

is the OP singing along with the BIAB playback and then BIAB is placing the recording 2 bars early? if changing the default cures the problem maybe the default needs tweaking with a patch.

OK. I changed recording from Start of song to Bar 5 and that worked for me. Thanks!

<< BIAB doesn't allow audio monitoring the same way RB does? >>

Correct, BIAB does not have audio monitoring of the recording material. However, the artist does hear the backing track and it's easy to sync recording audio.

<< if changing the default cures the problem maybe the default needs tweaking with a patch. >>


Nope. The default is correct. For whatever reason it needs to be changed, be it importing a file, starting a recording at any other than the default position, both the recording audio menu window and the import window menu take this into account and have provided boxes to complete to begin recording or set input to exactly where the user wants to place them. The default takes care of normal recording or input making allowance for the required 2 bars offset built into the BIAB program.

i'm sure you are right Charlie but it just seems odd to sing along in synch and then have the program move the recording!

I agree and I'm only speculating. The good thing is the remedy worked and BLONG was able to save his recording.

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."
