Huh! It might be best thing since sliced bread for Music Student but ACW is giving me the 'hump'! OK OK so ive not used it for ages but now I cant use it at all. Back in the good old days I just used to load an mp3 into ACW and it'd have a good Go at putting the chords up. Not always right but I could live with that Now it does weird stuff I dont want like waveforms and resizing my mixer window. Go figure. So-how do I simply ask ACW to analyse chords from an mp3 - and nothing else??Can it still be done the old fashioned way? Wenders

The ACW is imbedded into Band-in-a-Box (instead of a separate program) and if you don't want to hear the audio file after importing it, you can mute it in the Mixer.
the nice vid shows shenandoah, a slow song….but where i run into probs is often on a fast song with getting bar lines correct. cos of play speed. is there any possibility you could add a slow down feature ?? maybe its my own stupidity but i find faster songs give moi a problem.
i have several songs done originally on 2 inch tape using 2 inch mtr studio tech with obviously slight variations. it would be wonderful if i could update some of these songs with rt//rd's from biab.
and what would bring me into ecstasy would be a built in spleeter feature that worked flawlessly with the ACW, which opens up all sorts of great ideas..like adding new vocs to old songs or extra background vocs.
or for example if i didnt like the original bass i could split it out and thus add a new biab bass rt. the possibilities are exciting. i appreciate i'm asking too much…its just the possibilities i find exciting in bringing old songs back to life by updating them. also lots of us that once recorded in commercial recording studios only kept the stereo masters for various reasons.
i'm sure if these ideas could be incorporated in ACW , loads of musos around the world with old stereo masters would be really happy people.
i KNOW its a tough ask…but if pulled off …..oh the possibilities. might even mean a new market for pg.

The original ACW still works in RealBand. Perhaps that is helpful in some way if that's the version you prefer to use.

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
