Hi everyone,
I've been struggling with getting my own acidized loops to work in Band-in-a-Box, even after attempting to use a program like Acidizer to prepare them. I'm hoping someone in the community can provide some guidance.
Here's the problem I'm facing:
I have a library of acidized loops in various genres.
I've attempted to use Acidizer to acidize these loops for compatibility with Band-in-a-Box.
However, when I import these loops into Band-in-a-Box, it doesn't seem to recognize the chord changes or generate appropriate accompaniments. The loops just stay the same.
I've followed tutorials and documentation, but I'm missing something crucial, and I'm not sure what it is. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can provide guidance on how to properly prepare and use acidized loops in Band-in-a-Box?
Any help, advice, or step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated.

What version of Biab are you using ? I just tried a bass loop I made and Acidized it with Acidizer (running in Vista compatibility mode) When I put it in the Loops folder it shows the Acid info I set it to. If I use Riff Edit in the Tracks view I can see it's transposing to the chord: ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=27137&filename=BB24-Loops.gif)

Thanks for your reply. I am using the BIAB 2024. My computer is using Windows 11.
I know Acidizer is an old software. For compatibility mode, in Acidizer, I chose Windows 7.
If you have further advice, pls let me know.

This was Acidized with Acidizer in Win10 Bass-4beats-Croot-90bpm.wav put it in your Loops folder and see if the info shows in the Loop Picker, it won't show the info in the new MultiPicker. You should be able to set all the Loop info in the Picker and it will save it to a file. Funk - gl_funk100a ev16_AcidInfo.txt

Hi, i have tried your loop and it worked in my BIAB. It seems to show that you are able to make your own loop work in BIAB, which is wonderful.
Can you explain the way you worked with Acidizer and importantly, is it possible for you to share your version of Acidizer? I found that in the past some users uploaded Acidizer onto our forum but the links died. On my part, it was also difficult to find a version of Acidizer on the web. Perhaps my version of Acidizer did not work properly. If possible, I hope you may share your version of Acidizer with me. Unfortunately the Acidizer manufacturer's site does not work anymore.
Thanks,
|

Thank you very much. I confirm that the version of Acidizer that you uploaded seems to be more stable than what I had.
Would you be so kind as to remind me of what to do with Acidizer?
In the Acidizer software, I chose Disk-based, then I typed the tempo of the loop.
Must I choose 'Root note for transposing' and then choose the original key of the loop like C, F, etc or should I just choose 'don't transpose'?
Thank you.

If it's a Drum select no transpose else if it's an instrument set the current root note then Biab will transpose it to fit the song key or chord root.
