What do you know about "Pushes" in BIAB? #738748 11/15/22 02:05 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

I was working on composition and progression called for the "push". When I typed it in, results were far less from desired. I couldn't understand what was the issue, until I pulled ACW view. The "timing" looks correct, but the waveform seems to be squashed. And no matter how many times I tried re-generating, it looks (and listens) squashed. What supposed to be a "natural" anticipation, became a distraction. So, I've tested few other styles (with different sets of RTs/RDs). Some "pushes" where acceptable, but I have noticed that on about half of the time, there was still this squishiness / flattening of waveform. What I have tried besides re-generations, pretty much everything on this (great!) list: https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=694482 To understand better what I am talking about, attaching 2 images. I don't use pushes very often, but it is in theory, great feature. Can anyone suggest what I could have missed to make them work right? Thank you.

I wonder if the Pushes in RealTracks are 'computer generated' rather than having been performed by the original recording artist? If so, this might be why they don't sound natural.

There are two settings in the RealTracks window you may want to try. Ctrl+E opens settings and RealTracks button opens the RealTracks window. Adjust PUSH velocity adjusts the volume level of pushes. Automatically fill gaps between riffs MAY be squishing the shot Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) Clipboard01.jpg (150.84 KB, 183 downloads) RealTracks window with push settings highlighted Jim Fogle - 2024 BiaB (1111) RB (5) Ultra+ PAK DAWs: Cakewalk by BandLab (CbB) - Standalone: Zoom MRS-8 Laptop: i3 Win 10, 8GB ram 500GB HDD Desktop: i7 Win 11, 12GB ram 256GB SSD, 4 TB HDD Music at: https://fogle622.wix.com/fogle622-audio-home

I deliberately didn't want to raise volume in audio editor manually, as this was a persistent issue. I wanted to find a solution, not a workaround. I guess the drop in velocity played a trick on my ears. While I accept this as partial solution and THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge, my question before I mark this as "resolved" is this: Shouldn't a Push calculate proper volume level automatically?

They just use the Holds as you can see in the gif below the track is the same sections as in Biab BUT you can adjust it how you like. With Drums you can select the push you want and not take what you are given. https://stash.reaper.fm/u/ReaTrak (Scripts for Biab Reaper) Open SGU in Reaper Instantly

I would not think so as that is what the manual setting is for. Each Shot and Hold folder is used by multiple RealTracks recorded over a span of years. Content of the audio clip can drastically change the apparent volume level during playback. Everybody hears differently so the best option in this instance is to let the user have control over the apparent volume level of Shots and Holds. My guess it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible to have a calculation for proper volume level that would please everyone.

You just get so much more control than with a consolidated wav.

Well, I do not adjust volumes for shots, rests and holds (at least in BIAB) and I use them often. Because more or less they are within "comfort" range for rough audition. "Pushes", it seems drop significantly in volume in 1/2 of the cases and sound very confusing. I will leave this unresolved for couple of days to see if it attracts are couple of more viewpoints. --- Musocity, I do remember the concept of non-destructive editing very well. Do I support it? Yes. I believe you presented your case well. But it is up to the owner to consider it or not. I have no clue how difficult it is to implement this within existing BIAB code (probably is).

Matt Finley Veteran Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 25,861 Hudson Valley & Lake George NY	I want to try this on a computer, but for the moment I thought I would mention that I reduce the levels for pushes, shots, and holds considerably, and always have. I find the default values jarring, but I can only speak to the jazz and Latin genres I use most frequently. I am surprised by this waveform because I would have expected louder, not softer.

It is already in the Biab code, as Reaper just plays the Biab data section direct.
Implementing NDE code, maybe way down the track or not at all ? the BB Plugin/Standalone is way easier.

You have the RT Hold db adjust deep down in the soloist dialog (it should adjust the Pushes as well ?).
You could Freeze the tracks and save the SGU then close it, then adjust the Hold level,
then open the SGU and generate to see where it is.
But that is no easy task like is being done in Reaper non destructively.

This would be like the current track data that is stored in a frozen SGU, you have "RiffdbOffset"
so Biab should be able to apply an offset to the current track RT data then re-write it back to RAM giving you the level adjust, without having to implement NDE.

It should go by the db of the track to the db level adjust of the Hold/Push.

To leave it unsaid means the vast majority of people will either leave it as BIAB does it or not use the push feature as it doesn't meet requirements. Good spotting one & all...yet again WORKAROUND is the BIAB way for now. Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe

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!

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.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

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."

The User Showcase Forum is an excellent place to share your Band-in-a-Box® songs and listen to songs other program users are creating!

There are other places you can listen to these songs too! Visit our User Showcase page to sort by genre, artist (forum name), song title, and date - each listing will direct you to the forum post for that song.

If you'd rather listen to these songs in one place, head to our Band-in-a-Box® Radio, where you'll have the option to select the genre playlist for your listening pleasure. This page has SoundCloud built in, so it won't redirect you. We've also added the link to the Artists SoundCloud page here, and a link to their forum post.

We hope you find some inspiration from this amazing collection of User Showcase Songs!
