Hi, I'm trying to set the double time feel in a jazz ballad. I can do that if I select a track (drums and piano for example) for all the song, but I can't do that (and I didn't find a solution) only for a few bars.
In other words if I want to play the A structure (for example first 8 bars) with normal time (80bpm) and then the B (for example from measure 9 to 16) with double time, I can't do that.
I use real tracks and I want to find a solution not for a solo part but for all the instruments that play.
At the moment the only solutions is to export audio track in a DAW and edit time with it but I want to understand if I can do that in biab and with some control

Thank you in advance.
Toni
ps: I have the latest 2021 version of BIAB for MAC.

Hi thanks but I don't have to change the "tempo" but only the "feeling" in 2 or 4 (it's called double time). The "tempo" of the bar is always the same (does not change). It change only the time internal the beat (that sounds in 8 for example and not in 4, but the metronome is always at the seme value). In Jazz double time is very common in ballad (for example).
Another information. I use realtracks not midi. BIAB has a specific function (double time triple time half time) but not for a small group of measures of only for a part of the structure.
I don't know if now it is more clear.
Thanks
Toni

You can click on a track in the mixer and in the menu go to Track Settings | TimeBase. This enables the Half time, Double time, or Trible time, for the whole track. A workaround would be to load two of the same RealTracks to two separate tracks. Make one Half time and the other Normal, then mute them in different sections of your song in the Bar Settings, or in the Audio Edit window.

Yes it is (for the Windows version at least). It's a setting that gets applied to the whole track since it is selected in the menu on the Mixer.

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.

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."
