jim. but i want it in acw main screen,... go to acw main screen and youll see no such feature. when i'm in acw laying down bar lines i want to stay in acw ....and use slow down to certify ive put bar lines in correct place. at normal play speed its very easy to place a bar line incorrectly.
jim. try this n youll see prob. 1. in main bb screen set to 75 per cent. 2. now in acw with audio loaded acw reverts to 100 per cent not 75 per cent. i just ran a test just now.
best om
I'll play with it some. Sounds like you may have found a bug. If you go to Help > About what build does it show?
Preamble/story: about the time I first purchased BB (2020) I also purchased Ableton Live, Native Instruments Komplete Ultimate 12, a Native Instruments S88 Mk2 keyboard midi controller, and a reasonably-priced studio desk. To help fund all of that I sold my Yamaha Clavinova CVP (this was also a space-saving endeavor). Before then, I was looking at the latest Yamaha digital pianos and keyboards and simply unimpressed at how similar the latest products seemed to my older ones despite the huge price tags. There had to be a more revolutionary option to keep one set of hardware and be able to have much better sound/instrument quality and add new instruments/styles.
Whilst I'm happy with my new toys, I do sometimes miss mucking around playing with a live accompaniment/style which instantly follows the chords I play or my button-press requests for a drum fill or outro, etc. If I think of a song, I'd like to be able to select a BB style and play it instantly without spending time writing the chords in advance. I can't help but think that this should be possible with today's enthusiast-grade computers and SSDs and ASIO drivers.
I wouldn't mind if it was as a small standalone app (select style, tempo, map shortcut keys (or MIDI CC buttons) to Drum fills, A/B variations, ending, [un]mute common tracks, select RH instrument (MIDI patch or external plugin). Similar to an arranger keyboard, you'd have to specify which key is a split point and maybe allow transposing keys or octaves.
That is my biggest wish. afaik there is no software product available that compares to play styles and melodies on a Yamaha PSR or Clavinova with good quality. BB seems like it would already be halfway there.
Jim Fogle. i'm on ultrapak 1. bb 2020 (730) 2. rb 2020 (5) in both apps no matter the slow down setting in acw it plays at normal 100 per cent.
maybe a bug as you say. tell me if happens in 2022 plz. i'm doing lots of tarting up of old songs right now . i'm prolly gonna upgrade by xmas just programs 90 buks.. pen drive. best om
Jim. maybe i'm not being clear enough. thanks for your help.!!! per your graphic..no not like that . try this procedure. 1. open bb. 2. load in wav.(no acw) 3. set play in bb chord view 50 %. 4. now open acw for that wav loaded in step 2. let acw do its thing . 5. notice play button top left in acw screen ? clik PLAY > does it play at 50 per cent ? here 100 %.
2022 Audio Chord Wizard does not have an integrated play button.
I believe you are using the original Audio Chord Wizard which has no tempo adjustment. The new Audio Chord Wizard is integrated into the Band-in-a-Box program and is part of the Audio Editor.
Press the ACW button and a line of tabs appears with different ACW functions on each tab.
Jim Fogle. well i'll be a frozen doodlebug...lol... zee plot thickens...crazy laff..lol. SO i came at things a different way. instead of useing the main acw screen (with play button at top left etc.)...after loading the wav and then >> audio edit screen and then >> INVOKING ACW WITHIN AUDIO EDIT WAVEFORM DISPLAY...in my 2020 slowdown DOES WORK. so i can more accurately enter the bar lines. but it dont slowdown in the main acw display. crazy huh ? the start stop within audio edit is kinda bonkers ctrl g and esc. but what the hey.

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.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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."
