Here is a video on a customer requested topic that goes over how to copy and paste both a single track as well as multiple tracks at once, in RealBand. Please let us know if you have any questions!
I suggest paying particular attention when using copy/paste to the start and end of the copy. If you are copying from measure 32 and want to get the entire measure, the dialog box should show 32-1-0 as the start and 32-4-119 as the end of the copy. If you want to paste this at the beginning of measure 39 then the paste dialog should show 39-1-0 as to where the paste is going to be inserted. Otherwise you may end up with things slightly off in your editing.
If you are working on a single track, you can select the 'snap' button which will make your copying start at one of the boundaries of a measure like 4-1-0, 4-2-0, 4-3-0 or 4-4-0 as an example and you can then expand the copy as far as you wish knowing it will end at some other measure boundary end point like 7-4-119. I use this feature a lot while editing knowing that the star and end of my copy will match up perfectly.
To add to Del's suggestion, most of the time I set the resolution higher, 1960 or 3840. Instead of the beats being defined in 1/120th sections they are much smaller at 1/3840th.
That way you get finer 'chunks' when editing.
It is under Options - Resolution. Also much like Del's example I often use the little arrows in the Edit window. Single arrow goes to the start/end of the measure, so you would only have to input the desired measure numbers correctly, then the arrows fill in the rest.
The double arrows go to beginning/end of track. Just another little time saver following along the same idea, different workflow.
So if you quickly highlight a section and it ends up being 32-1-3 thru 34-3-38 you can use these little arrows to quickly define the whole measures, assuming that is the goal.
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
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."
