I am following the YouTube BB crash course on the stem splitter. I shows a BB view that I don't understand. It doesn't show a chord sheet, but rather a view that looks like a DAW with tracks and a time line. Then it says to open an audio file and points to a wma file in the BB tutorials folder. But I want to open an MP3 file. Will that work? It says to turn off the style, but moves so fast I can't figure out what that means and how to do it. Thanks for getting me started.
Edit: OK I found in the windows menu that there is a "track view" that gives the layout in the tutorial.

I'll try to answer your concerns. First, to make sure you and I are on the same page, is +++ Band-in-a-Box 2025 for Windows - The BB Stem Splitter +++ the video you have questions about? Yep, as you've discovered, in the Menu Bar selecting Window and then Tracks Window opens the Tracks window. The wma file used in the video is located in: bb\Documentation\Tutorials\Tutorials - BB2025. The name of the file and the location was provided so you can load the file, follow along with the video and see the same view as shown in the video. You certainly can load a MP3, wave, flac or MP4a file instead if you desire. Clicking in the blank spot to the left of the style name and then selecting the checkbox for Style Is Enabled removes the default check so the style will be turned off. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=30060&filename=Clipboard02.jpg) YouTube video playback speed can be adjusted faster or slower as desired. Select the settings wheel located at the bottom of the screen. Then select Playback speed. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=30061&filename=Clipboard01.jpg)

Thanks so much! All working now with your suggestions!
I did discover that equalizing tempo does not always do the right things to a song if the original performer had some speed ups that were stylistically correct. I also discovered that the chord wizard picked most of the chords off of the bass notes of this rock song I was using which were not always the root of the chord and thus the key was incorrect. I can see that one has to be very careful. The stems were very usable for me though as practice files for bass playing. I could solo the bass for learning and then mute the base for practicing over the rest of the track. I also noticed that the quality was not as good sonicaly as the Lalal.ai utility, but certainly usable and of course no extra cost! What an interesting adventure.
