Good day all

I am experiencing an issue where when I copy an audio track and paste it to a utility track the length of the wav file extends and stretches.

For example I will copy 2 bars of an organ section at measure 1 and 2 and when I paste into the utility track at bar 1 the wav file stretches and now becomes 2 and a half in length and now covers bars 1, 2 and half of 3.And the timing of the chord changes are now all off.

Is there a setting I can adjust or am I missing something? Hopefully I have explained my problem clearly.

Thank you

There's something missing but I don't think we have enough info to see it. Please tell us exactly what you are trying to do. Don't leave out any details. We need to duplicate your method and see if we come up with the same results—or don't.

Hi there

Thank you for the reply. I think the program is glitching on me because sometimes it works and then sometimes not.

I will try and explain best I can. I will generate an organ track with the BPM set to 95, and then I will copy the first 2 measures of that track and paste it to a utility track. So I am copying measures 1 and 2.

Now when I paste the track onto the utility track the length of the wav file covers measures 1, 2 and half of 3. It's like the wav file has been stretched somehow.

I attempted numerous time to copy and paste always with the same result. So I shut down my computer re-booted everything and then it began copying correctly. For awhile anyway and then the weird stretching thing happened again.

I just close the program and open it up again and that seems to solve the issue for the most part. Anyhow, thank you again for the reply. I don't know what else I can add to the explanation.

I guess no one else has experienced this...

Hello FireitUP!!!,

Are you experiencing this on all songs or tracks that you copy, or has it just been on this song? Does the track audibly stretched or is it just copying more than you have selected?


Best,

You mentioned you are using 2021, but what OS are you using on your Mac as well? This is good for us to know.

Hi
Thank you for the reply, it happens on and off for all the songs I work on. You can hear that the track is audibly stretched. It's copying the same amount that I have selected.However when pasted it seems as if the tempo of the utility track has changed.

I checked to make sure that the utility track is set to the same tempo. It's just weird.

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? 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."
