I'll play with it some. Sounds like you may have found a bug. If you go to Help > About what build does it show?

Too late for '22 but perhaps for 2023...

Preamble/story: about the time I first purchased BB (2020) I also purchased Ableton Live, Native Instruments Komplete Ultimate 12, a Native Instruments S88 Mk2 keyboard midi controller, and a reasonably-priced studio desk. To help fund all of that I sold my Yamaha Clavinova CVP (this was also a space-saving endeavor).
Before then, I was looking at the latest Yamaha digital pianos and keyboards and simply unimpressed at how similar the latest products seemed to my older ones despite the huge price tags. There had to be a more revolutionary option to keep one set of hardware and be able to have much better sound/instrument quality and add new instruments/styles.


Whilst I'm happy with my new toys, I do sometimes miss mucking around playing with a live accompaniment/style which instantly follows the chords I play or my button-press requests for a drum fill or outro, etc. If I think of a song, I'd like to be able to select a BB style and play it instantly without spending time writing the chords in advance. I can't help but think that this should be possible with today's enthusiast-grade computers and SSDs and ASIO drivers.

I wouldn't mind if it was as a small standalone app (select style, tempo, map shortcut keys (or MIDI CC buttons) to Drum fills, A/B variations, ending, [un]mute common tracks, select RH instrument (MIDI patch or external plugin). Similar to an arranger keyboard, you'd have to specify which key is a split point and maybe allow transposing keys or octaves.


That is my biggest wish. afaik there is no software product available that compares to play styles and melodies on a Yamaha PSR or Clavinova with good quality. BB seems like it would already be halfway there.

Justanoldmuso,

My results differed from yours. I'm using 2022 Band-in-a-Box build 905.

I copied a fingerpicking track to the audio track. The tempo followed whatever setting I selected from 150% down to 50%.

2022 Audio Chord Wizard does not have an integrated play button.

I believe you are using the original Audio Chord Wizard which has no tempo adjustment. The new Audio Chord Wizard is integrated into the Band-in-a-Box program and is part of the Audio Editor.

Press the ACW button and a line of tabs appears with different ACW functions on each tab.

Jim Fogle.
well i'll be a frozen doodlebug...lol...
zee plot thickens...crazy laff..lol.
SO i came at things a different way.
instead of useing the main acw screen (with play button at top left etc.)...after loading the wav and then >>
audio edit screen and then >> INVOKING ACW WITHIN AUDIO EDIT WAVEFORM DISPLAY...in my 2020 slowdown DOES WORK.
so i can more accurately enter the bar lines.
but it dont slowdown in the main acw display. crazy huh ?
the start stop within audio edit is kinda bonkers ctrl g
and esc. but what the hey.

have a merry xmas.

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.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
