[deanc2000]

[harmonicasantana]

Hi, It´s me again. I can´t record using audacity like you. I get no sound always. Can you help me?

thanks in advance

[TheBigCollapse]

Nice Audacity trick. Thanks.

[Badmoodboy]

I really found this usefull. Thanks for the posting.

[bownessgord]

Hello Thanks for the video. I ahve a question for you. I have BIAB 2008. How can I add lyrics and then display it so I can play and not have to have the words on a music stand to sing along with. Hope you can help Thanks Gord

[no66y666]

To be honest, I've never tried. Anything in the manual? IIRC there should be a lyrics window?

[AlanSturgess]

Potentially useful but I've never understood why so many folks make tutorials like this with the movie camera wobbling around for that full 'seasickness' effect.

[CDMix12]

how do I change the time signature?? I'm aranging a song in 3:4 and it kinda sucks if I have to deal with it in 4:4

[no66y666]

What I would do is just try different styles - some of those are 3/4 etc.

[sangsaratrip]

what kind of english accent is that? just wondering

It reminds of the character who played Charlie's teacher in the original Willy Wonka Film

[no66y666]

LOL, I dunno, I'm from just north of Liverpool in the UK.

Hi,

Thanks for the tutorial. I play the trumpet ( Bb instrument). Is it possible to change the chord changes to the key of Bb so that I have transposed changes( instead of Concert changes) while the songs are playing? I hear changes in Bb. i.e when the piano plays say CMaj7 I am hearing/thinking DMaj7. Thanks again!

Best,

Richard

right i need help with mine

i ad in the base for a song. but each time i click to play the bass lineget replaced, each time i retype the base is again get erase each time i click play

its driing me NUTS

[no66y666]

Did you save the project before playing? Sometimes that does the job.

[boffgirl]

yeh i save it loads of time so even if i quit then reopen the bass line get replaced

[no66y666]

Not sure then to be honest. You could ask on the Band in a Box forum (just do a quick google to find it) I'm sure them may have a solution. Good luck.

[boffgirl]

oh ok thanks anyways

[Samadhijunkie]

just wondering is this program only working with midi or can i use samples within the program, piano/guitar/ etc?, thanks

[no66y666]

Just midi as far as I know.

[Samadhijunkie]

Thanx but found all the sound on board, me stupid forgot a switch in the mixer setting, but thanx again

[drummerkam]

is there a way to not have lik a premade song that it starts off with and shape that but instead just start from scratch with all your own

[no66y666]

I dont know. I have only used the ready made styles. You maybe able to download others from the web?

[mec7070]

Thanks for this. I just finished installing the program after reading some reviews and your tutorial showed me some things I needed to know about, like those "nasty" two bars at the end and how to undo that feature.

[no66y666]

Yeah, those two bars really throw things out. Its a shame they are in automatically. Good luck with BIAB, its a good program.

[stevegmusic]

Cool. I just did basically the same thing using Audacity with the demo version of PcDrummer. Works great.
