Hi,

There exist Real Tracks like bb\RealTracks\Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm BluesSw16GrooveBrent Sw16 085
I want to use BIAB acoustic guitar only with my chord progression and my vocal. The .wav will load in BIAB but entering chords has no effect.

Is there a way to use only this RT and change the chord progression?

That sounds like an unusual question. You can use that RT with any chord progression. So I set up a quick example to demonstrate this for you and BIAB was dead silent! RTFS was no fix. So I will now reboot. This happens way too much for me...

Hi Dan,
Thanks, I am in the middle of a Dobro VST download from hell that I paid $100 bucks for that will work with Kontact 6 I hope.
Little distracted at the moment.

1. Enter your account e-mail address and full serial (included in your serial e-mail) and select “Get Links”.

2. Download all listed .rar files.

3. If you do not have an unarchiver utility, please download and install the included unarchiver located at the bottom of this page.

4. Select and open the first .rar file, this will typically be named .Part1. This will start the unarchiving process.

5. Once completed please make sure to unarchive the .rar Instrument archive that comes separately with each instrument. This file will NOT have a "Part" in the file name.

6. Once done, add the included contents of the unarchived Instrument folder to the main unarchived content. If a folder already exists in this location, please combine the contents of the folder. (Do not overwrite any pre existing folder)

7. Relocate the final folder to your desired directory and enjoy.

There are like 10 parts downloaded into separate folders...what a PITA!

Billy

OK, reboot and all is back to working. I was able to load that specific RT and it does play over any chord progression. That is what real tracks do. I don't know why you would load a .wav file of that real track. That obviously will not adjust to different chords.

OK
I guess I don't remember how to load a specific RT only. Sorry, in overload at the moment. I am trying to do too many things at one time. I will go figure it out.

I have the dobro vst loaded in Kontact but have not produced sound yet.

These are two separate issues.

All this electronic stuff is really not fun at all.

Back to a live studio as soon as the XXXX pandemic permits.

Thanks, Dan

I totally get how someone gets used to creating songs a certain way and forgets Biab's basic functions. All you do is set up a new song, set the tempo and key sig then enter whatever chords you want. Now, pick the guitar track and select that RT. It will play your chords.

Been there and done that too. I have lost 30 lbs in the past 2 months due to acute pancreatitis attributed to a blocked bile duct. No fats at all!

Hang in there, this too shall pass.

Just has Bob indicated. R-click on the Guitar track in the Mixer and you get a menu to "Select RealTrack", then Select "Select RealTrack" again (typical BIAB), this will take you to the Real Track Picker. Once you are there Paste "BluesSw16GrooveBrent" into the Filter on the Bottom and that RT will be found.

Again as Bob said, select Tempo and Key and enter you Chords when you are now back in BIAB. That will do it for you.

Finally, Select real tracks, Select real tracks, really...lol

Got exactly what I wanted but of course, that locked up BIAB...lol Control alt del, start again, and finally...Success

Thanks, guys.

After all the Kontact insanity I won't beat up BIAB too much for being an arcane non-user-friendly piece of software...lol

Now I will go put it in my DAW before it vaporizes...lol

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."
