Where can I set the generated audio files to be all aligned?
I know it's more human to not align.
But some of my music is mechanical and the beginning of the sound has to be aligned.
How can I align all audio files generated by BIAB or BIAB VST.

Apparently this was discussed in the past. But looking at the picture shown above, there appears to be a problem. Mutiple beats off the grid line is hot humanization, it is poor timing. grin

Very simple: you unlock the magnetism and you align tiptop. Are you sure they're not anacrouses?

I thought the 2022 new version will have a function to adjust whether it is humanized or not.
Because I'm doing electronic music and I don't want to make a little sound earlier

good point Mark and MoultiPass. swingbabymix obviously has a digital delay unit set to slapback echo after 12 months.

I guess at this point it’s like singing traditional favorites around the campfire. One kicks it off, others recognize a “classic” and join in.

But it’s only 3 months.

Not sure where you are seeing this is the same problem.
2022 just launched, I'm here to ask a question about aligning audio to see if 2022 is new for support, any questions?
Are you not going to eat tomorrow? You won't eat tomorrow because you ate today?

You don't look at your phone today because you checked your phone yesterday?
I paid for the software, and I asked the question in use on the forum. Do I still need to be supervised by you? Are you a forum administrator? Or are you the boss of BIAB?

Or is it stipulated here that questions about the BIAB 2022 version cannot be asked?
Or are you the dictator here?
Is your attitude good for the BIAB forum?
Is it the same when you communicate with others in reality?
I originally wanted to recommend BIAB and the forum to my friends, but now I need to think about it

All I've done is point out that you asked this exact same question 3 months ago, and got a lot of responses, some of them quite lengthy, from a half dozen people. The thread went on for days. At the end, you appeared to be happy with a particular editing technique offered you.

Now it's like that all never happened.

Your question in this post – right down to the screenshot – is virtually identical to the earlier one.

I would ask, "Why?" but I understand your explanation is, "Oh, that question was about the 2021 version, this question is about the 2022 version."

Best wishes for a bountiful harvest.

I have had years of that, that is why Biab was stuck in the past for so loooooong, that's why I go off these days.

The pic below is the actual section an positions the item are place in for musical timing. For whatever purpose you need it to start on the bar, like for use as a loop, I can do that in Reaper with the original track data by setting the start point further in the item so as to snap to the bar but keep the rest of the item in timing.

So with the new 2022 version coming, can I stop asking if it's possible to get the audio to be strictly aligned?

You were satisfied with your meal last night, so you don't need to eat today?

Do you get along with people like this in real life?

Do you wish there would be no questions asked in the BIAB forum?
Because the answer is in the manual? Don't look at the PDF yourself?
Do you want the BIAB forum to disappear completely?
Should you go to the hospital?

I get that this is a metaphor for your "hunger for knowledge", but the situations are very different. You have to keep eating, every day, or you'll die. On the other hand, if you ask a question, and people answer it, it can be helpful to keep track of that information for future use.

I saw that you said this to Bob but quickly deleted it, so I was surprised to see it again. Over here, we would say "take your Prozac" or something. It's considered rude.

Are they the same questions or are you missing what the story is, is it going over the top of your head ?

I know users the thought for sure swingbaby was a spam bot.
Why was I able to help him, maybe I should of let my personality judgement kick in and attack him ? That is the best thing to do, if you don't understand something, attack it !!! The Blind Leading The Blind.

If you can't turn you personality judgement off and tune into the person on a higher level, then you are easily led by the blind and follow the blind you will remain in the pit where those following the blind end up.

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."
